Ibanez DAB1-1 'desktop' bass amplifier...and tiny cabs


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

it'd be great to get one of those and a couple of the tiny fender and marshall-style ones you can get for a tiny backline at a gig.

:)

edit: i've been thinking about this for the last 10 mins and i wonder how small you could make a viable bass cabinet ?

a 1x4 ? i know genz benz make a 1x8...

see - i've got all this spare plywood round the house :)

Phil Jones Bass Briefcase is 2x5" but I think the depth and structure of the cabinet is going to make a difference whatever the speaker size.

i'd imagine that the cabinet would be very important when you get down to this size.

i used to use a pair of bookshelf hi-fi speakers my dad made as a bass cab - it sounded ok at low vols irrc. i've still got the speakers somewhere...they were only a few inches across

If you've got the wood and a spare desk why not build some speakers into the desk? Maybe work out a way of porting it around the sides or something. That's something I'd LOVE to see. Guitar open backed in the middle then ported bass either side. Awesome.
