Well, I finally found the time to post a pic of my new B450.... Here it is with my Squier VM Jag and it's little bro' (B20):

nice....great beans of coolness that you got a B450 for that $....kinda wish I had the funds to get one at the the time I picked up my B200, but I'm happy with it. Now, trying to decide what ext. cabinet to put under it....another 15 or some 10's....
 
nice....great beans of coolness that you got a B450 for that $....kinda wish I had the funds to get one at the the time I picked up my B200, but I'm happy with it. Now, trying to decide what ext. cabinet to put under it....another 15 or some 10's....

Having had the B100 (15), B200 (15), and now the B450 (10), I would stack the B410 cab. I like the mids I can get with the 10's--a bit fuller than a 15 alone, so the combination would really make a rich tone. Remember, since the B200 speaker jack is wired serial, you'll be dropping your watts from 200 (@ 4 ohms) to about 67 (@ 12 ohms) on the B200, and down to about 265 watts on the B410 (by my calculations), so you'll be losing some volume, but making up for it with greater total air movement and a nice variation in tone which will more than compensate to the human ear/brain.

That's my 2 cents.
 
Ok so I just recently got the B-200H and the B-115.

I want to run a full stack and I was looking at getting the B-410 but I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't run cabs with different speaker configurations. Is there any truth to this? Should I just get another B115?

I've never seen a B-450 cover - ever. I thought about getting one made - but the local upholstery wants $200.00 for it.

Try Shop Amp Covers and Speaker Covers by Tuki Covers If they don't have one in stock they can make one for less than $200.00 I got covers for my Hartke cabs and they were less than $100.00 each.

I just got a 260 mini stack a week ago. As soon as I take pics I will post for my #.
 
Ok so I just recently got the B-200H and the B-115.

I want to run a full stack and I was looking at getting the B-410 but I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't run cabs with different speaker configurations. Is there any truth to this? Should I just get another B115?

No truth to that... there is nothing wrong from an electrical-mechanical side of things in running a B200H with a B115 and a B410.

It all depends on how your ear likes it. I found that I liked that combination stacked with the 410 on top, as opposed to the bottom. I also had casters on my 115 so it was uncoupled from the concrete floor of the church which does make a difference.

I did it!!! I bought my B600H with a B410 last night! It's on layaway so I don't have pictures yet but I can't wait to bring them home!!!:hyper:

Nice! Can't wait to see your pics!
:bassist:
 
Here is my new 260 Mini Stack along with my 5 string AEB I also recently purchased. This set up works perfectly for the acoustic (Pun?) band I'm in. Lots of postage stamp sized stages and low volume.

Just for the record, I used the 260 for a practice with my electric band with my Yamaha BB5000 too. It handles the low B very well and got over the drums enough that after a while nobody even noticed what I was using. Everybody said it sounded nice and full like a bigger amp.

I love the vintage tone, and my back loves the low weight!

May I have a number please?

COOL rig you have there! A Michael Kelly ABG by any chance?

Thank you Owl.

I wish it was a Michael Kelly. It's actually a cheap Rogue I picked up on CL for $140.00. After 38 years of playing electric I finally took the ABG plunge. I wanted a fiver and this one came up so I just grabbed it. This was just to get my feet wet though. I'm already saving my pennies for a Tacoma Thunderchief. I had borrowed a Thunderchief for a gig before I bought the Rogue and boy was it sweet! The Rogue plays pretty good though and will get me through until I can upgrade.
 
The ground lift is turned off so it's not that. I use the DI for our home recordings of practice and never heard the problem. With the tolex, is there any easy way to open up the cab and check the connection? Thanks

The amp head comes out through the back after you release the four Phillips headed screws
on the top of the cab.

Pull it down the 1/4 inch or so that it will drop and slide it back about four inches.

Then look inside for a small PC board for a tri-connector with and remove it to release the
speaker wires then continue taking the amp chassis out through the back.

CAUTION
--- that head/chassis is HEAVY - so be prepared for that!

What you see should by analogous to what the B-600 and B-600H looks like:::

100_6144.png


Going back in I added some neoprene foam to the area between the chassis of the amp
and the top of the driver box. I just didn't like the appearances of the cab hanging
there without some sound/vibration dampening for it.
