ahpook Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) i'm veru dubious about what they'll sound like, but it's so cute ! Edited May 29, 2011 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I noticed these a few years ago when they came out and was quite intrigued, they sound quite useful. I must also add that the SR500 in the background is rather tempting... Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 (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 Edited May 29, 2011 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
