The italians make some awesome pro sound gear, but no-one ever pushes it over here. I've got an awesome set of RCF tops that I got for pretty much half price. I think you're probably right 1n3, I'll get an Alpha8 to do me in the short term, then buy something more beefy when I have time to...

Thanks everyone for your recs and advice, will33: I've checked out the design paper from eminence and I'll take some time to digest it. If nothing else it'll allow me to do make a better job at a later date. cheers. Oobly: I'm going to make a new power and pre amp. The idea being that I can...

A good point well made. I'll do you a deal, when I get 28 hours in a day, I'll buy a book on cabinet design and do this whole thing properly. ;-) Looks like the Faital aren't readily available in the UK anyway. Its between the eminence at £30 or £70 and the B&C at £110. Just have to decide...

has anybody come across Dayton Audio ST210-8 8" Series II Woofer ?? Just came across it in another thread here on talkbass. its got an xmax of 5.5 apparently...

270x180x340 are the dimensions of my box, thats 10" by 7" x 13" if you prefer. Its got one vertex cut away so it can sit like a baby wedge.

Thanks for the rec. What speaker was originally in the 801?

thanks JimmyM, Bogeybass for your suggestions. I can get Eminence gear in the UK, In fact Ive got a nice one in my guitar amp. Those 8inches look like the kind of thing I'm after. I don't know B&C, but that one looks good too, though almost double the price of the delta pro 8 (from a brief...

Hi, I play a lot of Jazz Bass (fretless with flats) I normally play through a 115 combo or a trace head, or through a monitor. Ive just moved to somewhere a bit more out of the way music scene wise and I dont particularly want to be lugging any of my big rig on the train to quiet rehearsals...

Im just messaging to say I'm looking for a working pre-amp from one of those traces. Ive had experience with them... had to fix a power amp in one a couple of times when i worked at a repair shop. They have a tendency to keep on blowing though unfortunately. Im just after a working preamp/DI...

Thanks mate, Sorry I should have been more clear in my OP, I don't expect changing pickups to give more consistency. My hope is that when combined with a decent preamp they will. The logic being that A decently sculpted sound at the player end means that a decent techy just has to tame it rather...

Hi peoples, my first post here at talk bass though I've read the forums for advice on many an occasion. I'm a proficient electric and fingerstyle guitarist who's gradually growing in his love for bass.:) I currently have a Fender MIM P-Bass, I picked it up used for about £180 - I'm pretty...
