Well, it's good to know it ! I think I won't bother with holes too then :) The final weight will be less than that of my "dishwasher" for sure ! (about 30 kg) Roberto

Thanks for the prompt reply. I always wondered the purpose of those holes, probably is what "basscooker" wrote. Roberto

Hi All, I know that "fearFul project" is no longer available for free but, at the time, I saved some files from the Greenboy web site because I was interested in building one 15/6 but for several reasons I never started building it. For about 8/10 year my rig has been composed by a DIY 2x10"...

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I'm thinking on buying a new Ultra V. I tried one on a local shop and I noticed the "G chord" very close distance from the edge of the fingerboard. I searched on the official Fender site the "Ultra V narrow bridge part" and it appeared a bridge replacement...

So...according with the suggested thread, the speaker that I've got is a 3015LF (smooth cone paper). I wonder which is the reason why they don't write the model on the rear label ! Regards, Roberto

Thanks, actually I've used the "search feature" but probably I've typed the wrong terms.

Today I've received the 3015LF but on the magnet's label is not written "3015LF" anywhere. Is there a way to distinguish a "3015LF" from a "3015"? The box where it was packed shows "3015LFA"...I have no reasons to doubt about the seller, but....you know...

No reply so far :hmm:

I've already contacted them (through their site, it would cost a fortune for me to call them), I'm waiting for their reply.

Since the inductors suggested for the "Cheap but Good" crossover are not available (Erse Audio) and since the shipping from the US is not cheap at all, I found some european online shops with similar inductors available but the DCR value is not the same of the inductors suggested by Greenboy...

Finally after some time I've ordered the 3015LF and hopefully I should receive within a week. I will temporarily use it in the "old cab" since I have some gigs in the next few weeks. After that, I will start "convert" all the measures of the "fearful 15/6" into mm (unless someone already have...

I considered the option to recone the speaker but I've never done it and I don't have any tool to accomplish it so I prefer to buy a new speaker. Although I'm pretty "conservative" regarding settings and volume levels, consider that I have the bass control on my amp set to "flat" (0 dB), I have...

I play a 5 strings :hmm: and I often play notes below E0 (I mean the 5th fret of the 5th string) including the low B sometimes.

The front panel is about 560 mm wide, the speaker is 394 mm and is not centered on the panel but it's close to the top so I think that there isn't enough room on the corners to fit the 6". I will check it anyway....

I already have the 6" in an external box (consider it a headbox, 3.5 liters) that I used with this cab before the speaker broke. Can I leave it external so that the 3015 will have the max chamber size available?

I already made a simulation with Bass Box PRO and it didn't look bad but, you know, simulation is a thing, "real life" is another. That's why I would like to have the opinion of the 3015LF's "gurus" :)

Well, I would like to re-use the existing box (that is well built) if the 3015LF can operate well with it. Since I have other gigs in the next two months, I wouldn't have the time to build a fEarful. I could build it in the future if the 3015LF would work well with the existing cab in the meanwhile.

Hi, I have a 1x15" Parsek (the "grandmother" of the MarkBass 151) equipped with a B&C 15PZ40. Unfortunately during the last gig (while playing) there was a blackout with a big "steck" (the sound that I've heard from the cab) when the power went down. When the power was restored, the speaker...

Hi, I own a Yamaha TRB5-II bought in 1999 and I need to replace the volume pot of the internal preamplifier. I tried to "spray" it with a contact cleaner but (unfortunately) with no results. It's a 7 pins potentiometer, does someone of you here know where can I find it online? Time ago I...

I built that interface from scratch (thanks to a friend) for a totally different kind of project (flight simulation) getting pretty experienced with microcontroller programming (I'm a software developer) so I converted the firmware of the board (basically a 32 I/O lines board) for audio purpose...

Yes thank you ! Now I know also how to call it ;) Regards, Roberto

Hi, a friend of mine lost one of the "journal box" (I hope the thranslation is right) located in the back of the body of his Fender Jazz Bass "Marcus Miller signature" (5 strings, where the string goes through from the back and gets out in the bridge) but I found nothing over the net. So I'm...

I think it's only for TC cabs but maybe you'd better ask to TC directly. Regards, Roberto

Is it a "Parsek" cab ?

If you can use one of the various software of simulation like WinISD (and you know the meaning of all the graphs) you can have an idea of how those speakers will "behave" inside their enclosures, especially if you are going to build a reflex cab. If you didn't do it before, brace the cab...

I don't know how much you are into the "DIY cab" matter, I didn't mean to offend you in any way (if I ever did it), but I thought you were not certainly an expert since you are asking basic things that should be known by someone who wants to build a good sounding cab. And certainly to wire an...

I'm building my own pre+8 bands equalizer+2-way electronic crossover. I'm going to use it to go bi-amp with two amp heads (one for the 6.5" midranges and one for the woofers of my two DIY 2x10", or one for a 6.5" and the other with a 1x15" tweeterless). Actually I'm not using a preamp but the...

You can't wire directly in parallel different speakers in the same cab for many reasons (if you search on this forum you will find a lot of threads that explane why). I wonder how you didn't blow that 8" since it was getting the same power and frequencies of the 15" ! If you put two different...

Was it into its own enclosure (typically a closed box)? How did you wire that 8"? Through a passive crossover or directly with the 15" (in parallel)? If it sounded distorted probably it's because it was always (or often) exceeding its maximum excursion (the power handling spec doesn't mean...

Well it is now (255 Euro if you choose the italian flag), but last week when I checked the 3015LF and the 3012LF was at the same price. I was going to buy one 3015LF at that price but I had an unexpected expense so I tought to buy it later...I waited too much !! Regards, Roberto

Thomann.de (from Germany) is selling the 3015LF and the 3012LF at 166 Euro (about $237), shipping excluded. Regards, Roberto

I meant that lately I haven't been so happy with D'Addario strings but I will give that set a try. Thank you, regards. Roberto

yes it is. What about brands? I liked D'Addario strings in the past but the last two sets that I bought lasted just a few weeks and then the sound started to decay quickly (the current set is a D'Addario XL Nickel wounds).

Hi, I've played rock for over 20 years and now that with my previous band is over, I'm going to play in a Soul/R&B band with also some standard Jazz. My bass is a Yamaha TRB5-II (not the -P version) bought in 1999 and I would like to change the strings to have a warmer sound (till now I've used...

If you really would like to start the challenge of DIY cabs then consider to make 2 2x10" (vertical aligned) to be able to transport it since "NON neo" speakers are not lightweight. And consider also the Legend BP102 (4 or 8 ohm) if you want "robust" basses....don't forget a midrange to cover...

It is popular, we have plenty of express couriers available, but, obviously, it all depends on the cost they charge for the delivery. Regards, Roberto

They are located in Milano. ;)

If you go to the Markbass web site, in the bottom of the main page there is the option to locate a distributor or reseller wordwide. I tried to choose "Turkey" from "distributor" and obtained: Zuhal Dis Ticaret A.S. Galipdede cad n. 33 Beyoglu - Istanbul Tel +90 2122498510 Fax + 90 2122513599...

I think it's easier to turn the amp. on the right or on the left so that I can still set knobs but it's not directly facing the audience. Regards, Roberto

Speakers in a 4x10 are usually wired "series-parallel" and this give a total impedance equal to the impedance of a single speaker: 8+8 //(<-parallel) 8+8 gives a total of 8 ohm or 8 //8 + 8 //8 still gives 8 ohm. So what you want to do is not possible unless you change the speakers (or...
