Ooh, nice! Is the body scaled-down, or full size?

I think the people you play with have a big impact. I’ve been fortunate to play with some really great people (drummer in particular) and it just levels me up immediately. Then I go jam with some plod-alongs, and my skills nosedive!

I’d say he’s quite baked.

No, it was definitely Brian Harvey, but I can see what you mean.

What was that bloke’s name from East 17? He managed it.

Also interested in the answers. Asked a bloke in a music shop about a file set 20-odd years ago. He said it was cheaper just to pay for a set up. 50 basses later… 🤦🏻‍♂️

What about using the sacrificial bolts idea, but take them out immediately after you finish the painting of the armacab, while it’s still wet?

🤞🏻

What’s it supposed to be?

I assume it’s to lessen the impact to your fingers when you walk in to some immovable object loading in. I’ve got a hell of a lump on my little finger where I bashed it on a hand rail carrying a tumble dryer - if only it had rounded edges…

All put together. Sounds loud and deep as hell, but still a little muddy around 200hz. Sounds like many other bass cabs I’ve heard though. Maybe my tastes are a little different. I don’t go for the super flubby bottom end - I like clean and tight. Actually prefer the sound of the Beyma in the Peterson box as-is! I see a twin 8” build in the future…

Just sketched out something that will be equal to two 1x8s stacked on landscape. Me likey. I was just going to make it with those dimensions and put two ports in. I would welcome your input though @Phil Starr!

Did anybody proceed with a 2x8 version? Not even finished my 12” and already getting the measuring tape out for another build!

2 internal braces fitted - 1 diagonally across the back panel, the other diagonally across the baffle between the port and the driver. A silly idea perhaps, but it seemed to reduce the resonance tapping the panels. Stuck some random shaped bits of dead sheet to all panels except the baffle. That helped a bit too. Then painted the inside with PVA and stuck wadding in. Knocking on the cab is noticeably quieter. Hopefully the sum of my efforts will result in a clearer sounding cab! Will pop the driver in tomorrow evening to find out…
