A special effort would have to be made to make a cab both heavy and flexible.

What is the finish? Guess you did yourself, since I recall seeing a build thread on this on uglybassplayer.

I just removed a crudely glued in neck by pouring hot water into the neck plate screw holes whilst the strings were under tension, worked a treat. Most basses won't use water soluable glue. If an active bass can survive a sweat pop punker when it has reached the point all the aluminium foil has turned to white powder and there is sweat pooled under the plate, a brief soaking won't do any great harm.

I realised takijng the speakers out of an 8x10 makes a very hadny repository for socks and suchlike, possibly teatowels, tailor each 8x10 storage cabinet to the particular room it occupies. A new form of living: House of Bass living. Anyone want 8 Celestion 10" drivers, 8ohm each?

I pulled a muscle in my back a couple of days ago, moving my Matamp. I just made a head case for my other Matamp, made back in the day when a kilowatt amp weighed enough you believed it. Trick is to make Someone else do the moving part.

Give it a year or two..and its all going to be in one huge stack, heavy enough to become a black hole. You wait.[/quote] Totally came to this thread to post this. It will be the event that proves the statement 'mixing driver sizes is bad' correct. We have 18s, 12s and 10s. Oddly no 15s right now though. Reality is definitely warping in the area though, it is probably why Joe is so confused.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='874882' date='Jun 22 2010, 10:01 PM']Yeah, that's pretty doom, you could store a couple of corpses in that.[/quote] There is onyl Doom, and Not Doom. This is Doom. Totally innapropriate stuff for making music noise is Doom. The fatal subs from ebay still dominate it though.

Why does it have to be 4 ohm? You are going to be sacrificing a fair bit for that, and since I am fairly sure you are all valve amp, there isn't a power loss issue. If it is for chaining multiple cabs, are you stuck with the old 'no 16 ohm tap' issue? Maybe a series/paralell switch to match it would be the way, since you have pretty limited options for 4ohm drivers.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='874154' date='Jun 22 2010, 09:28 AM']Are they doom though?[/quote] If you have enough of them. As well as some other speakers. Bah, can't make the image embed, but [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46789&view=findpost&p=525196"]see here.[/url]

Check the early threads (and later ones) in the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=73"]Barefaced sub forum.[/url] Barefaced cabs are all about the Kappalite neos. Not sure about the 3015L though, there is 3015LF with is a sub driver and not suitable for a bass cab without a dedicated midrange speaker, and the 3015HO (often without the HO) which is high output, suitable for standalone (which is what you would want). Googling 3015L gives me some overseas pages, but the specs listed there is for the 3015 [HO]. As far as I know, neither come in 4 ohm. Jeff did mention crossing over at 700hz when my guitarist spoke to him, which would be the right sort of place to cross over the 3015LF if you were using it in a bass cab. Basically, Alex Claber is the speaker nerd, and he uses them, so they are probably the best available. The chap that does Acme cabs also uses a custom version, and those possibly come in 4 ohm versions, so a custom 4 ohm version is possible.

I had a backup guitar (I took a backup for the guitarist's guitar, since he is a numpty) go missing during a gig on my own street (so I was carrying my gear from the House of Bass), was fairly sure someone had chucked it over the back wall. Turned out, after a bunch of asking around if people had seen anything instead of post gig drinking, the singer had decided to be a funny guy and slung it in the van with the drums.

The MXR one. The on its way programmable VT bass, if you want faux Ampeg and a mid control. Aguilar tone hammer. DHA EQ DI, or whatever the current equivalent is.

The Traynor YBA200 (I think) is 200w all valve and pretty light considering, it uses toroidal transformers, so you lose some weight that way.

Olde time music that Steve Wishnevsky linked me to:

Most people don't class amps without a valve power stage as valve amps. I think it is misleading to call hybrids valve amps. Are you looking for an amp with a valve in the preamp, or an amp with a valve power stage?
