Do it! And do a build diary! 👍🏻 Beware spiders! 🕸 🕸 🕸

Thanks John DB! Very kind 👍🏻

My apologies for the dreadful joinery! I'm not up to your standard @Reggaebass

Build Diary as promised. I warn those of a sensitive, meticulous, or prissy nature ( @Hellzerolooking at you here). https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/455411-teeny-tiny-bass-cab-ttbc-v-01/

Next steps... And now the wait for speaker mesh, panel pins and bits begins. It sounds okay with the HotOne amp, but not much bottom end. It'll maybe be better when the 'lid' is on. Possibly get some better speakers if I reckon its worth it. Jobs remaining: 1 - make 'lid' & cover in vinyl; 2 - make speaker grille frame; 3 - finish corners; 4 - mount HotOne on lid; 5 - work out lid opening device!

More progress...

Vinyl fitting...

Progress... * please note, the I am not a joiner, nor am I patient man. Engineers please look away.

I posted on the Amps & Cabs section to see if anyone could recommend a small speaker cab for use when staying away from home that would partner the Hotone Nano Bass amp. There were lots of useful suggestions, but nothing that quite matched what I was after. I love the PJB stuff, but and that would probably be perfect for the job, but I didn't want to spend any money on bass gear this year. With this in mind, I decided to spend money building my own travelling cab to my own spec.! What I was after is a small, not loud speaker cab for quiet practice that I could take with me when I wasn't at home. To be powered by something like the Hotone Nano or Vox Amplug, making it portable was important. I would usually just practice with headphones & a preamp, but the baby likes me to play along to songs for him ('Reach' S Club 7, 'Go Your Own Way' Fleetwood Mac, and 'Rockabye' Clean Bandit are particular favourites! 🤣). Last month when we stayed in a holiday cottage, and I used my Vox Amplug & the Blackstar Fly 3 extension cab that I'd modified to take a 1/4" Jack plug. The sound was okay, all things considered, but I wanted something less 'plasticcy'. The idea for the Teeny Tiny Bass Cab V.01 was forming. I had a couple of 3" 15W 4Ω FR hifi speakers lying around, and so decided to build my cab around those. Not being able to do the calcs for speaker internal volume and port requirements, I had the brainwave to scale down the dimensions of my Trace Elliot 2103H cab: 2x 10" speakers down to 2x 3" speakers = divide TE dimensions by 3.333333333333333333333 rec. Sometimes my genius astounds even me! I drew up my design & went shopping.

Madam, I'll have you know that we do not allow the likes of that little data-slut 'Alexa' or her ilk in our domus. Furthermore, due to the continuing global Covid pandemic, current NHS advice to those who have accidentally amputated extremeties is, and I quote, "Feck off and sort it yerself! We're feckin' busy making irritating TV & radio adverts. What do you expect from us? Treatment! Ha!" True dat

Great tip! Just a quick logistical question: if you've just chopped your finguls off, how do you open the freezer door? And how do you pick up your finguls to put them on ice? Yours hincerely, Liberacè

Thank you

Shut it, coprophile!

Jeffrey Archer?

You join the long and illustrious list of famous Belgian comedians. 😛

I'll do a proper build diary when I've finished, but progress up to now...

Hiya @Seashell2

*mutters* Bloody Belgians! *brightly* This is specially for you! You're most welcome!

Twerp!

A drop of patience for putting up with The Hidiot 4000? Eh, @Ricky 4000

Thanks both! If I'm short of stuff, then I'll shout out on here. Very kind 👌🏼

I've decided to build my own cab - 2x 3" 15w 4Ω speakers I have lying around. I can't calculate the volume & port dimensions, so I'm scaling down my TE2103H cab Build diary to follow in a bit..

Hidiot!

I like that! 👌🏻
