stewblack Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) I don't know what you'd call it actually. Two things inspired me. The back pack vibrating box thingy you stick on your strap, and the board you sit your chair on which is a big flat vibrating bass speaker thingy. I baulked at the price of either but got to thinking. The result of my cogitation? This is a 100w 4ohm audio exciter or transducer or something like that. Cost about 14 quid delivered. Screwed it to the underside of my seat. Hooked it up to an amp. Sent a line out to my headphone amp (Zoom B1on). Stuck on my headphones... and there was a small explosion 💥 Not really. It actually worked. One of my inventions is actually brilliant. I live with an elderly relative who sometimes dislikes it when the peas dance off her dinner plate if I'm rehearsing. So silent practice is the norm. This takes it to another level. It's extraordinary. The bass becomes complete. Mids and tops in the cans everything else everywhere else at once, and barely audible in the room. It's wonderful. You can have any setting you want, from mild buttock shake to full personal violation. I'm off for another go.

Nah seriously, I can dig it. I prefer to feel it in my chest but it may well help with headphone practice. I can't say I have a problem with just the B3 and a decent set of cans but then I haven't sat my can onto one of your devices to be able to judge.

ped Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Great! It’s basically the same thing as the Bass Board which my chair sits on which has several of these in a thin flight case basically. I’ve been praising them for years but it’s one of those things that until you try you just don’t fully appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gave me the idea, that and a guy on YouTube making speakers out of flat sheets if balsa This is the exciter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002LQAHPE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and I will be bringing the love seat to the South West Bass Bash. Honestly, like Ped says until you try it you can't imagine how amazing it is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Hmm. Interesting. Having decided that it works I got down under the seat and tidied up by putting the rest of the screws in and tightening the whole thing up. This has (unsurprisingly I suppose) tightened the bottom end but lessened the giblet rattling effect of the bass. Mind you the chair is beginning to disintegrate so it's still doing something. Going to mount it on the back just to try it out. Edited August 8, 2020 by stewblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 If anyone visits your home and sees it, just tell them its for when you practise the bass with headphones. if you leave a bass nearby you might get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um... can we still called it practising with headphones? It's more like practising with a bum woofer! You've got to be careful who you say that to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Nice one Stew. I've made 2 Bass boards, one with 2 of those transducers and one with 4 of them. I also used to use a ButtKicker clamped to a stool when I couldn't stand for long periods after surgery. As ped says you have to try it to believe. Your next project is to productise and market it.😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
