Having not really liked most commercial cabs I played through, I built a fEARful, which is a beast of a cab, but it's still a direct-radiator design.

It's probably too early to tell as you've not had a lot of play time on the cab, but do you find that you need the tweeter? I'm assuming there's an option to build this cab as a 2-way, w/o the tweet? When I built my fEARful I built a 3-way cab, just to have "the Cadillac" of the line. But I found that I don't like that hi-fi sound and most of the music I play is classic rock/R&B/Motown, which doesn't exactly have a full-range bass tone. The tweet has an L-pad (and a nice one too) so I keep it turned down all the way. But still, building w/o the tweet would've saved me about $100 and some time. Live and learn I guess.

BTW, is your BFM badge recessed into the front of the cab? It looks it. That's some nice routing work you did there. Again, the cab looks fantastic and it sure sounds like you're pleased w/the performance. Nice "on stage" pics, BTW.

Cheers Miked!

Yes I did recess the badge

I thought a) it'd look a bit more 'pro' and b) it'd stop the badge from being caught on stuff and being torn off.

The tweeter IS essential to me as when I'm not playing with the Animals etc I like to get a nice crisp 'hifi' tone. I simply eq this out if I'm going for a more vintage tone.

I like the idea of getting the same full range information from my cab as the sound guy out the front is getting. This way (providing he takes my DI post-eq) if it sounds good to me on stage it should sound good through the PA (that's my thinking anyways lol).

Great build and obviously you're not to shabby if you're touring with The Animals.
Glad it sounds good for you as well.

I have to say:
I really really like the way you inset the badge...

Thank you

Thanks everyone for the compliments!!! I've gigged it three times now and it's received nothing but the highest praise from everyone. I can't recommend this cab enough to bassist

Worth noting that size and weight wise it's just about the same as your average standard 4x10 cab - lighter than some!!! If I'd have been able to afford the Neo drivers then it would have been a very light cab I reckon.

No worries, credit where credit is due!

I just found out that The Animals naming rights in the UK are owned by John Steel. Interesting.

At a gig (for me) the other night someone was telling me they went to see Eric Burdon here not long back, and there were half a dozen people in the audience

It seemed like the question was "who the @&@^ is Eric Burdon"?

Loving the looks, mate!

Did you finish and use both? Or, did you figure out you only needed one? Please, please, please, write a (detailed) review in the "Review" forum. Compare the O15 to any and all cab/amp combos you have used before.
