I recently built 2x GreenBoy fEARful 15/6/1 cabs and one of them was having issues right away. I basically had no output. I tore it all apart and found a cold solder joint on one of the crossovers. Put it all back together and it has normal output but now I've noticed that I have substantial...

I'm currently playing on a pair of 12/6/1 FearFUL Cabs powered by a Mesa Boogie WD800. They sound incredible but about a year ago I had some traffic on an old thread where I posted concerns about my Mesa being cranked to about 2/3 Input and Master. Anything more and the amp flashes O/D and...

So I started with an Ernie Ball Musicman (active) and just added an American PJ Bass (passive) and a custom build (passive). The output from the passive basses is almost half of what the active bass is. I'm playing through a Mesa Boogie WD-800 with volume and gain at about 12 o'clock. When I...

I recently completed a bass guitar build and am installing a Bartolini HR-5.4AP/918 Pre-wired Preamp and 2 Bartolini Soapbar Pickups. I installed everything according to the wiring diagrams supplied by Bartolini. I also coated the guitar cavities with copper tape for shielding. I get no sound...

Hello, I am building a Gibson Explorer from scratch. I’ve decided to go with the Bartolini Thunderbird Soapbox pickups (T4CBC) with a Bartolini 3 band EQ preamp, blend and vol. The neck is a 34” scale. My question is where do I place the pickups for the best sound? I’m overwhelmed with the...

I currently play an American Jazz Deluxe on a Mesa WD-800 through 2 fEARful 12/6/1 cube cabs. I’m fairly new to playing through bass amps because for years I’ve just been playing through DIs. Most of my favorite bands in the 90’s and even 2000’s played active basses through Ampeg SVT CLs. I’ve...

I’ve decided to share my fEARful 12/6/1 build with the community. I did a lot of research on fEARful cabs before I made a decision. I could have bought a very nice cab from a reputable brand for the same price as the build cost but I decided to DIY and build my own high end boutique cab that...

I just built a GreenBoy fEARful 12/6/1 cab and am using a Mesa boogie WD-800 head. I tested the cab and it sounds amazing and clear but I noticed that the amp is pushing really hard to power the speakers. I’ve read all over the place that the fEARful 12/6/1 cabs are an 8 ohm load so I have it...

Anyone happen to know the spec on the Mesa Subway Neo 400 12” speaker? All I can find is watts and ohms. Looking for frequency range.
