Probably, but it would be good to actually get the speaker built and tested first....

I am thinking about how to do the same with a Warwick Gnome and the Basschat 8" as well, but that'll have to wait until we've defeated Skynet as my speaker evolves into a Austrian accented killing machine, so probably Sunday afternoon....

@Chienmortbb I've gone from thinking how to make a small box 400mm x 300mm with a speaker in, to looking at bracing and wadding, to 3d printed vertical braces (that are too long to be printed) to a newer diagonal brace which is sqrt(150^2+200^2)= 221mm (which is printable) and I haven't brought the plywood yet By tomorrow evening it will have probably evolved into a sentient life form.... Rob

Phil Appreciate the comments and I am absolutely not trying to make waves or cause a fuss, my questions are due to me being a complete novice/muppet/idiot* here. I will probably experiment as you say. I wouldn't think that 3d printed braces would help as the plastic would be lighter than the wood, also I can't print something 364mm high on my printer. However I could join two pieces together and try that. Perhaps that's an idea, so I've not actually even started and I'm already making changes and thinking about mods, why do I do this to myself? I'm fool/muppet/idiot* Thanks Rob * Delete where applicable

My idea of a good night out is staying in!

Also I just checked on what differences there are between the Tonex Bass Pedal and the normal Tonex pedal. There are no differences apart from the bass pedal packages are pre-installed and cosmetically different. You can install the bass pack on a normal Tonex pedal. https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/viewtopic.php?t=55392 Rob

Is that the pirate thing based around the opensourced software? be very interested in your thoughts on that,. Rob

Good advice. Thanks Rob

Hi Chris I join the ranks of cab builders with great trepidation as any building that uses high speed rotating metal, scares me and whats left of my fingers. I definitely do not have better ears than you, I used to be a diving instructor (Jacques Cousteau rather than Tom Daley) and my ears are not in good shape TBH. I'll put some simple braces in and leave it at that. I'm not a weight weenie, so having wadding or not is not an issue, but I favour simplicity over complexity. I'm also making a spray cabinet so will use the spray cabinet to learn how to do things before I do this one. The cost of 2.4m x 1.2m 12mm plywood is circa £23 where I live, so I can get a spray cabinet and three 8" cabs out of one sheet. Thanks Rob

Phil Thanks very much for the comprehensive reply. I actually understand it an awful lot better now. Is there any disadvantage in more than one brace in the same direction? or using a sheet of plywood with holes as somebody else posted earlier in the thread? Or does this introduce all sorts of unknowns and a simple brace is better? Simplicity is best? Thanks Rob

Darn it. Missed that one. Good one

Hi Just about to order the parts for this. After reading the thread again, I'm still unsure if horizontal and/or vertical bracing is needed here and also if wadding is needed. As this is my very first cab, and quite possibly the most complicated woodwork project I've ever done*, I'm stressing over the details here 😄 so baby talk to help me is acceptable. Thanks Rob * The next most complicated woodwork project was a paper knife made in my 1st year of secondary school. My mum still has it but has never ever used it.

So did I. I assume Gibson brings it's own domain and the rest is Shopify under the covers. If Shopify can provide all of that for a price less than rolling your own, good for Shopify. Rob

Darn it, Luke is quicker than me I hate CSS styling. Why would Fender use Shopify for anything, they have a proper website and team they can use. Rob

Tut. You should be really waiting for Exclusive & Limited Black Friday Megatastic UltraSpecial Discount Sale Professional Plus!

Now gone

Sounds about right to me I've often seen acoustic performers humping a pair or more of large Marshall stacks around with them and plugging their Tanglewood acoustic guitars in. Does it say what it needs for "metal"? Asking for a friend Rob

Thanks. Will see if there is a similar app in the Apple store

I've had a look but it means nothing to me.... Oh Vienna That sounds.....wonderful.... or something.... is there a decoding wheel available? Thx Rob

@Stub Mandrel Thanks. I'll check the Apple store. I thought you had an iPhone.

@SpondonBassed Apologies. I was going to ask you "who did I speak to then?" But that would be stupid so I won't.

Spent the last hour trying to work out if I have a problem or not. A kind basschatter has sent me eight Goldwood 1016 tweeters. I tested them all with a tone generator on my MacBook using the headphone socket as the output into a small cheap amp and then into cables. As I put a tiny bit of power in, I can hear a high pitched signal, not loud but something is there. I get the same signal when I connect into the Omni 10.5 speaker cab with the main speaker disconnected. Since I have no idea what a Goldwood should sound like, its entirely possible that this cab is working fine, that my ears are rubbish beyond about 5Hkz (too much deep scuba diving?) and I've spent the last eight weeks worrying over something that's working fine. I did see that @SpondonBassed had some sort of frequency analyser on his phone at the SW Bass Bash. If he reads this, can he let me know what he was using as it seemed very good. I'll then check the output and see what the cab is outputting. Thanks Rob

These were brought for an Ender 3 Pro which I no longer have. Bowden Tube Kit Its never been used and has a length of decent Bowden tube, a cutter that cuts at right angles (seriously very important, do not use a X-Acto blade), some springs and various Bowden connectors. Replacement Ender 3 Pro hot end Might fit other Creality printers. Free, just pay P&P, which is probably £3 for each. Thanks Rob

Paul, You are welcome to them all. Let me work out postage and I'll let you know. If you are in NW North Yorkshire, you are welcome to pick up. Do you want to PM me your address please? Thanks Rob
