DIY 1x15 Bass Speaker Cabinet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2018
- I use the 15 inch speaker from one of my earlier videos to build a new speaker cabinet for my bass amp. Does it sound better than the amp I got when I bought the bass?
I based the cab on the Mesa Boogie 1x15 Subway Series cabinet.
The amp head cost about $150. The cabinet materials cost about $50. The speaker itself was free - given to me by a good friend.
Amp Head: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
Speaker Cable: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
Jack Plate: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
Handles: www.acehardware.com/product/in...
Those handles look like they provide a nice “tambourine effect” at certain frequencies ...
Call it "Poor Man's Reverb" :D
I haven't had any issues with them, tbh. Maybe it's because I play so loud you can't hear it anyway.
what a triumph it is to make a bass cabinet! Awesome video I enjoyed it greatly!
Thank you! It was fun to make and even more fun to play! Thanks for watching.
Good job keep plugging don't give up on playing the bass even if you get to some hitches push through
Thank you so much. It's only been a month and half and I find myself really enjoying it. I'm much farther along than I thought I'd be. I've never been a lead guitarist, but I love playing rhythm. The two hardest things I've found with playing bass is that I have to be much more strict with the rhythm and I have to move my hand more to reach the right notes.
Thanks. I have an old kustom c 1 x 12 cabinet that that amp has been removed from. This looks like a great winter project to make it match an old crate amp I have.
An actual Kustom cab? With the puffy vinyl? Those are pretty cool. It might be worth more if you kept it all together (depending on the condition of the vinyl).
But if you do make a new cab, make a video of it and link it here. That will be fun to watch.
No don't tho\ink I would get rid of the puffy cabinet if I had one. This is a compact I think it was a 60 watt amp. This cabinet is the black pebbly finish that looks dirty from the years. If I do make the new cab I will get back to you. I am not an experienced woodworker but I have some equipment.
I like the build. I will make one soon. If it works for me, I'll make another. I have to 2 old 15" Jensen Made in Italy guitar speakers. It's refreshing to hear a beginner on bass. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words. My woodworking skills are still much better than my bass skills, but I am enjoying playing bass.
Just made a very similar size cab before seeing this- only have a hand saw and jigsaw so more cleanup was needed. I scored 2×15" and 3×12" nos Fane The Crescendo speakers from the scrapyard after they did a garage clearout. Had to google them to see their value but felt like doing backflips after! It sounds pretty good- using my Squier Jaguar SS bass through a Fender BXR two hundred head unit. The cab doesn't have a back yet, and I'm only planning on a 2/3 back. Still have to buy a jackplate yet also. Cheers from South Australia!
Thanks for watching. Loving the DIY spirit. Keep it up!
Nice job on the woodwork. I'm going to screw my sides together for added strength and use a one piece handle to avoid rattling. I think you could adjust the amp for a more mellow bass sound and use your thumb instead of a pick to get the true tone. Nice job. I'm starting mine today!
Interestingly enough, I don't hear a rattle with the handle, I thought I would and had plans to use a cheap bungie cord to hold them tight. Well, at least any rattling is much quieter than the sound of my bass to the point where I can't hear it over the sound. However, the guitars on my wall, the cabinet doors in my desk, the blinds on the window... Those all rattle like crazy when I play. :D
If you build yours similar to mine, the screws won't add much strength. Wood glue is stronger than the wood (assuming proper glue techniques). Going with the Mesa Boogie Subway style that I used, there are more than enough glue joints to make the cabinet outlast you.
And you are absolutely correct about my bass tone. I'd only played about 5 minutes through that amp/cabinet combo before recording myself. I've gotten better and my tone has gotten better. As far as using a pick, Paul McCartney used a pick so :P :D
Great build! I'm looking to do something like this, but I'm planning on having the speaker hole (10") offset more to the side to allow for the tweeter. I'm actually rebuilding the box from a SWR Workingman's 10 design, but I'll probably modify it so it can kick back, a handy feature largely overlooked for 1x10 cab's
Yeah, that was a major design flaw in my design. Wish I had left enough room for the tweeter, but after using it for a couple years, I don't really miss it. There's never been a point where I'm playing bass and wish I had more high end.
And with the 15" speaker, I don't really need the kickback. It fills my room. I've never taken it out, so I have no idea how it would perform anywhere else.
@@HandlebarWorkshops While I've played on 15" cabs in the past, I appreciate the 10" range more. It gives you a solid low end while letting some of your higher notes ring true. Also, for smaller acoustic & jazz gigs, you don't freak out the rest of your band or the bar/cafe owners!! The horn would come in hand for those styles of playing, as would the kick back, b/c I want to hear it directly instead of it just hitting feet.
What a great built!!!
Awesome work!!!
That bass was growlin' haha
I actually had to check up on my amp speaker the other day and when I opened it up I noticed that the builder who made my cabinet didn't do such a neat job on building the inside part of it, so now I've decided to reform it.
Would you possibly have any tips?
I don't have as many tools as you do but I imagine that since the outer structure of the cabinet seems to be fine I might not need lots of cutting!
Do you have any idea why some cabinets have holes on the backside/lower front side? Might it be to let the air flow?
And lastly, I really liked the natural/wooden look on the cabinet. What oils/varnishes would recommend to finish that plywood?
Thanks in advance and wish you all of the best!
Take care!!!
All of the cutting can be done with a circular saw and jig saw. I happen to be lucky enough to have some tools that make it slightly easier, so I use them.
If you're not a wood worker, then I'd go with regular Waterbased Polyurethane. It is easy to apply and very durable. And it won't tint the wood color.
For why there are ports (the holes in the box) you can watch an earlier video where I figure out the parameters of the speaker and use a website figure out how big the box needed to be and if it should have ports or not.
Thanks for watching, and good luck with your upgrades.
I liked your video. I feel that your cabinet would benefit from the the following:
• more fasteners holding the back piece on; a fastener every 4 to 5 inches.
• it is good practice to use a foam or rubber grommet/gasket between the wire plate/wood and the removable back piece/main structure.
• pilot holes in the baffle for the speaker fasteners.
• stuff that box full of damping material ..)
A lot of great ideas. At the time I was working on a very limited budget and I never plan to actually use it for a gig. This is strictly for playing in the house. Nothing has ever rattled on the speaker, including the handles. But everything else in the room shakes quite a bit.
Im adding a back cover to my bass cabinet. found denim sound deadening material. All materials bought off ebay. ( 12" speaker cabinet pre made and varnished/stained) 2013 ten years ago, I never used it yet
Your woodworking skills are top notch. I think your soldering could use some work. You should buy a copper brillow pad to clean the tip, and keep it tinned with fresh solder at all times. Apply a little ball of solder to the tip when it's not in use to prevent oxidation.
You are absolutely correct. My soldering skills are not good. However, since this video, I have bought a new Hakko iron with a brillo pad and better solder. I've gotten better, but still not that good.
Awesome video! Where did you buy the metal plate thingy on the back of the speaker cab?
You mean the speaker jack? I got that on amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AW3F0O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for watching.
That's awesome very impressed. I love Blitzkrieg Bop enjoy learning the bass bro you will be hl gigging before you know it
Thanks for all the positive energy. Good luck with the bass.
You are a very good carpenter...!
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching!
well done job! I always admire Americans the way they do things, always very technical and professional. i wish i have all those tools that makes things easy and safe
good job tho. will have to try this
Nice job mate, I might make one as an extension cab for my 2 x 10 Fender Rumble 500 combo, sorry internal organs but it has to happen. Two thumbs up
Yes, those poor internal organs, indeed! >D
I built a guitar speaker box with a Peavey Head. I want to learn bass. I have the a Dean Edge Bass (lefty) that I'm converting to fret less. I'm going to try and get that Behringer head unit and change the speaker. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome. I've been rather hesitant to try a fretless bass. I can barely play it fretted. Good luck with the speaker change and thanks for watching.
More bass please !!! All the way ! 🤩
Thank you!
i did not know Scott Holiday also builds bass cabs but great build man!
Scott Holiday: one of the few people that evokes great 'stache envy in me.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like me first cabinet!
Hi, what were the specs on the speaker itself, and do you think it is a good match for the amp head you are using? I have this exact Behringer amp and am looking to build a cab specifically for it. I was researching what I should look for in a 15" speaker as far as wattage and other specs when I stumbled across your video. I'm sure this will come in very handy when I get ready to build my cab, but I have to settle on a speaker arrangement first! I want to build the cab around a 15" for the deep lows (am considering a Memphis or Kicker subwoofer, hopefully a commenter can chime in on whether I should NOT go with a subwoofer), but would like to leave enough power to add something to get the punchy highs as well. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you
A couple previous videos of mine show me trying to figure out the parameters. All I know is that it came from a keyboard amp that was damaged in a flood. Due to my inexperience and some mistyped formulae on a webpage, I was not able to get an accurate set of parameters. So I threw my hands in the air and based (copied) my design off of a Mesa Boogie Subway cab. However, I did try to use a cab design website that uses the T/S Parameters to give you the size of the cab and whether to port the cab or not. I have links to it in my other video.
I've never played it in a gig setting, so I have no idea how it would perform with drums and full volume guitars, but it works very well when I have friends over to jam in my living room. From what I've read in other online forums is that the amp head is probably underpowered for an actual gig, unless you're running direct to the PA. Most gig ready bass rigs start at around 300W.
I've also read (but have no experience) that subwoofers are not good for bass rigs. Something like they are not rigid enough to convey the full spectrum of sound or something. I'd suggest doing some research on The Gear Page or Talk Bass forums. The Talk Bass forum has a section completely dedicated to building bass cabs. You might even find my thread where I discuss this build. Just look for my moustache logo.
Nothing wrong with using a pick, lot of Bass players us them. You don't need tweeter in bass guitar cabinet but it never hurts, you can trim he one corner of tweeter surface so not meet up with the woofer. PS mounting the drivers on the outside is better.
I'm doing my best to use only my fingers. But I figure that Paul McCartney used a pick, so there's a pretty big precedence. :D
I was originally thinking that I'd add in the tweeter so I could use it for other purposes, PA, general loudspeaker, etc. but I didn't want to do anything that I couldn't undo. But I'm pretty happy with it now. I've since picked up a real PA and this can just be a bass speaker.
Thanks for watching.
@@HandlebarWorkshops Son, I am disappoint that you didnt foresee the issue of the twitter feetting, then again when you didnt realizer you have 2 more sides on the cabin.
I would have trimmed the tweeter bracket to fit. Good job on the speaker build.
I definitely want to re-do this, but it's way low on my to-do list.
Thanks for watching.
@@HandlebarWorkshops great video sir. I wouldn't bother with the tweeter, they are about as useful as an exit where your elbow is. Plus with a sealed cab you're going to get all of the high end you probably ever look for, and to my ear you already have a good bit of high end.
Great job
Thank you for the complement and for watching!
If you wanted a 2 x 15" cab would you just double the length measurement to double the cubic feet requirement?
I don't know. I don't think the design calculation websites have an option for 2 speakers.
Here's what I would do. Figure out your speaker's T/S parameters (I have another video on that) unless you can find them online and find commercial 2x15 cab with similar speakers and use those dimensions.
I know that 2x12 guitar cabs tend to be bigger than just double the 1x12 cabs size. There is a gear section of the TalkBass forum where true cab designers frequent. I would suggest asking there. I leaned a lot from them on this build.
Thanks, I watched the video on your Turkey. I am an amateur person, I do these things as a hobby. What are the dimensions of the cabin and speaker?
Sorry for the late response, I was away from the cabinet and couldn't measure it until today. The dimensions are 19.5" (49.5 cm) left to right. 20" (50.8 cm) top to bottom. And 18" (45.7 cm) front to back. Hope that helps.
Thanks for watching!
Do a Mark bass cabinet combo
very inspiring!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching.
Really nice finished product. I’ve been looking for videos like this so I can make my own 2x10. A lot of good players use picks, but moving on to fingers will definitely open up your play-style.
I've also been thinking about a 2x10. This amp is a 300W into 4 Ohms. So with an 8 Ohm speaker, I'm only getting 150W. Even at full volume, this thing isn't very loud. Two 8 Ohm, 10" speakers in parallel would be 4 ohms, so I'd get the full 300W and more speaker surface area to move some air without too much more weight or size of the cab. But realistically, I only play in my office, and the speaker was free, so there's no real need to get anything better.
It's been a year since I made this video, and I'm getting much better at using my fingers. I just have problems with my thumb. Either I anchor it on the pickup, or I start using it to pluck the low E string, like finger picking a guitar. I notice real bass players move their thumb to the string next to where their index finger is plucking to prevent the string from ringing. Gotta work on that.
Thanks for watching.
hey what do you think of a 4 speaker design but there are 4 different sized speaker. for example a 18 a 12 a 8 and a tweeter
I love new ideas and thinking outside the box. I've never heard of such a thing. Do the research, build it and send me a link to the video. If you already have the speakers, it shouldn't be too expensive. That's my limiting factor - those speakers would be too expensive for me.
Thanks for watching.
Hi, just wondering is it actually cheaper to build you own 15 inch speaker cabinet from scratch rather than buying one online? I'd be really interested in learning about making one myself using your video as a reference but I'm not sure if it's cheaper than buying one on Thomann for example? Any helpful information would be appreciated. Thanks
Well, there's a lot of adult diapers in this question. It depends on if you're buying the speaker retail or from a flea market. It depends on if you already have the tools. It depends on if you want to use the best possible materials available. It depends on if you have more time than money. It depends on your woodworking skills. It depends on if you enjoy the process of building as well as playing.
For me, my friend gave me just the bare speaker. I already owned all of the tools needed to make it, since my other passion is woodworking. I wanted to see where I could cut corners to save money as an experiment without really sacrificing sound quality. I was able to purchase individual pieces over a long period of time - which is kinda like financing the cost without having to pay interest.
For a person with limited woodworking skill and tools and space, it would definitely be cheaper to buy a cabinet from Thomann. I've never used them, but from what I hear, they make some very good quality items. So it might not only be cheaper, but it might be better than anything that person can make.
Thanks for watching.
Would I need a different jack plate for a 4 ohm 300 watt speaker ?
Nope. It is a passive plate and the amp would only see the impedance of the speaker, 4, 8 or 16 ohms.
Thanks for watching.
Is it possible to turn a subwoofer into a bass amp if you use the head of a bass amp and plug that into the speaker in the sub?
Maybe? Most regular speakers (not made specifically for instrument amplification) tend to be much more flexible than the ones you'd get in an amp. That is, if you gently pushed on the paper cone of a regular stereo sub-woofer speaker, it would move much easier than a speaker made for a guitar or bass amp.
That said, most modern bass amps (like the one I use in this video) have a direct out connection that is meant to go straight into a PA and just about all the sound the audience hears comes from the PA speakers which are more like the basic sub-woofer speakers.
Most players would say it won't sound as good. But that's pretty subjective. There's also the argument that the speaker won't last as long, which may be true. I'd say give it a try. Make a video, I'd like to see it.
Clean your tip. Melt a little solder on the tip before you make contact. The melted solder will transfer heat. If that doesn't work then your iron may be too low wattage.
Thanks for the "tip". HA!
Anyway. I've had quite a bit of practice since this video and I'm much better. But I'll be sure to incorporate this into my workflow.
Do you plan on putting a Grill cloth on it ? If so, I would to see a video on that .
No I probably won't put a grill on it. It's been 2 years and I still haven't made up my mind on what I want to do with the front of that cab. I've never taken it anywhere, so I'm not too concerned. I was thinking about leaning into the homemade look and using a grill from an old fan. I thought that would look pretty cool.
Nice job, I just think the handles will rattle because they're not spring loaded
If you can hear it rattle, you're not playing loud enough! ;)
I had a plan of using a bungie cord over the top of the cab to keep them pinned in the up position. Still cheaper than the fancy inset handles.
*builds huge amp*
guy: Oh Hi ThErE
*plays Blitzkrieg Bop*
I'm just learning the bass. Already knew it on the guitar, so it was easy to move to the bass. Thanks for watching.
Looks like you could have squeezed the twitter into that design, just needed to trim off some of the waveguide so it would miss the edge of the woofer.
Probably, but I wasn't as confident in myself back then. In a previous video I determined the T/S Parameters for this speaker and the webpage where I got the formulas changed and I should redo that. Which will (hopefully) dictate the correct size of the enclosure. If I ever redo all of it, I will be fitting the tweeter in there so I can use it as a PA as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@HandlebarWorkshops Have you thought of Not centering the 15" speaker to allow for the tweeter?
Thank you for sharing. And it's great to know you're a Ramones fan. Ain't you? Be well!
Oh yeah. Most definitely a Ramones fan. They are just so much fun to play and listen to.
Yeah and Deedee wants mo' gaba !!! 🤘
What plywood did you use and what was the thickness?
Straight up ACX (one side pre-sanded) 3/4" plywood from one of the home center stores. Nothing fancy at all. It was meant as a prototype, but I've had no reason to change it yet. I mean, there are things that I'd like to do with it, maybe even re-make it eventually for some other features, but it works fine as-is.
Nice build. However, that is a rebate (or rabbet), not a dado 🙂
Yeah, my bad. Sometimes I get so focused on the building portion of the video that the how-to portion gets a bit wrong. Of course, it happens the other way, too.
Do you just connect the speaker direct to the jack?? Thats all ?
Yep. Just like in most combo amps*, the wires come straight off of the output transformer and connect directly to the speaker. In this case, the transformer is just much farther away than in a combo amp.
*Some combo amps (I know of some old Fenders, at the very least) had a jack in the chassis and the speaker had a guitar cord like cable tip that plugged into it. That way the chassis can be removed without having to remove the speaker, de-solder the speaker, or provide long wires.
why didnt you put a hole in your speaker cabinet?
In an earlier video (ruclips.net/video/dwm1v2w2tH0/видео.html) I went through the process of figuring out all of the T/S parameters. This speaker is fairly low quality and its T/S parameters suggested it would sound best in a sealed enclosure.
If I had more time (and money) I would like to build another cab with a port to see if it made any difference. So maybe I'll revisit this in the future.
Thank you for watching.
Yea She gotta breathe ....but over all great amp ...
Nice build. I wanted to do something like this for my setup. I have a 300w head and would like to build a cabinet small enough for me to carry it around for practice and small garage-type gigs. What are the specs of the box (dimensions) and the speaker/driver you used (woofer, sub or mid, RMS rating)? If you did put in the tweeter, would you have needed a crossover for that?
Thank you for the compliment.
The outside dimensions are 19.5" wide by 19.5" high by 18.5" deep.
I measured the T/S Parameters of the speaker (it was given to me and there was no info on the web) in a previous video - ruclips.net/video/dwm1v2w2tH0/видео.html&lc=Ugy6zZIeKPcuXvol6Xt4AaABAg
The Motorola tweeter that came with the big speaker was a very nice one that does not need a crossover. The way it was built will automatically filter out low frequencies. The physics of the big speaker naturally make it a low pass filter (too much mass to move at high frequencies), so no need for a crossover for it, either.
is it not a vending speaker sounds very thin for a 15er
Well, you have to realize that you're relying on my camera mic for the sound. It's not like I I had a SM57 through ProTools or anything.
But you're probably not wrong. Since it was a free speaker given to me from a friend, I didn't have the T/S parameters and tried to find them myself (in another video on my channel). Turns out that some of the formulae I was using were wrong and since updated on the site where I found them. I'd have to re-run all of the calculations and those may point to a drastically different cabinet. It's something I'd like to re-do, but it's low on my priority list since it serves me well enough.
How big is the diameter of the hole?
About 14.25" or so.
Thanks for watching!
The coton you put I full in the box?
I don't think you need to pack it in there - gotta give the speaker cone room to move. It's mainly just to absorb/prevent reflections off the back from affecting the speaker.
Okay that's cool
Its a discovery I will try it!
this dude look like wario with a beard and glasses xD
I always thought I was more of a Waluigi.
Update: My wife insists that I'm definitely a Donkey Kong. But she won't specify if it's in a good way or bad way.
@@HandlebarWorkshops xD ur amazing
if you would have offset the speaker the horn would have fit.
Yeah, but I was also after a certain aesthetic. I like the look of the centered speaker and I wasn't (still am not) settled on how I want to protect it from the front and I didn't want to limit myself. After a couple years, I'm not missing the tweeter at all.
Is bed frame necessary?
I'm sorry, I do not understand the question. I did not use any part of a bed frame in this build. I am guessing that English is not your native language and "bed frame" is an incorrect translation. Could you please ask the question using other words, please?
lol, I need glasses. the thumb nail for this vid looked like a front loading washing machine. i'd give you a the like but i don't want to mess up the 420
HA! Love it. Thanks for watching!
So the quality of plywood used doesn't really matter..?
Definitely not, in this particular case. This was meant more as an experiment to see ho well it would work. Even still, I don't think there would be that much of a difference. Maybe you could hear the difference if two cabs were A-B'd one right after the other. But if you played the cab with cheap plywood one night, then the cab with expensive plywood the next night, I doubt a listener could tell.
However, if you do not plan on using tolex or some other covering over the wood, then you'd definitely want the better looking plywood.
@@HandlebarWorkshops My sentiments too... I asked because I can clearly see any amount of cavities in yours. I plan on making several cabs and I plan on using good plywood, but not birch ply
Fender has a history of using 3/4" pine planks that are finger jointed at the corners. Though, that might be rather heavy for this size cabinet. I was following Mesa Boogie's lead here in using the 1/2" ply to cut weight but using the corner braces to keep rigidity. But the speaker alone is pretty heavy anyway.
I accidentally bought a 15" speaker and they don't do refunds, so now I have to build/buy a new case
If you already have the tools, I'd recommend trying to build a cabinet. At worst you will still have to buy a cabinet, but with first hand experience, you know what to look for.
Thanks for watching!
clean that solder tip on a wet sponge before making a solder joint.
Yeah. That's the iron I learned how to solder with. I didn't intentionally mistreat it, I just didn't know any better. I've got a new one that has stayed in much better condition.
Thanks for the video! Check out my channel as well - I just worked through a Marshall cabinet re-purpose. Question... why didn't you add a finish to the box? ever a poly coat?
I didn't finish it because I am planning on doing a covering. I just need to figure out exactly what I want. I've been thinking about doing a Fender tweed-like covering, but using denim instead. I have to do some test pieces to see if I can shellac over the denim, though.
Thanks for watching.
Hi ho, let's go.. Blitzkrieg bop..
They're all dressed up and ready to go!
@@HandlebarWorkshops They're all reved up and ready to go..
@@69Markowski D'oh! I've been singing it wrong for 40 years!
isnt square worst shape... for bass... and centering,,, also...
I don't know. Maybe? I tried using software to design an enclosure, but it failed miserably. So I pretty much just copied a Mesa cab. If it's good enough for Mesa Boogie, it's good enough for me.
Tweeters are not allowed.
HA! At the time I wasn't sure if I'd use it for bass or as a PA speaker/monitor.
Sealed cab. Needs a port.
Possibly. I tried to determine the T/S parameters of the speaker in an earlier video (ruclips.net/video/dwm1v2w2tH0/видео.html). The results were somewhat indeterminate (the author of the webpage that I used for calculations has since updated the formulas and I need to re-compute the T/S parameters - that may be another video, eventually).
The cabinet size calculator web page couldn't give me a good answer as to if it should be a sealed or ported cab, so I decided just go with a sealed cab. This was just meant as an experiment and the sealed cab was easier to build. Hopefully I'll have time to rebuild the cabinet (or add ports) if the new calculations indicate that it should be ported or a significantly different size.
Thanks for watching!
Lmao i'm sitting here as a speaker "specialist" why in the hell would that need a damn port lol?
In a previous video, I found the T/S parameters for the speaker. One of the formulas I used was wrong. I still need to go back and recalculate the parameters and put it through a design software. This speaker may very well be best used in a ported cab. Just gotta find time to do it :)
@@HandlebarWorkshops Yeah I've seen that video but yep it was false parameters. Thing is he says outta nowhere that it needs a port without knowing the ts at all. Also a speaker that is best used in a ported does work in a sealed. It just doesn't get as much SPL and low frequency extension as in a ported. Depending on application ported or sealed is the best.
Interesting. So, by going sealed, I kind of erred on the side of caution. Thank you.
only glue,,, no screws ,, huh
If I were gigging it, I probably would have added screws in case of drops and rough handling. They would hold the wood fibers together on impact. Otherwise, the glue is stronger than the wood and is more than what I need.
Oh no.....
Come now. It's not that bad. I mean, it's not good, but it's not THAT bad.
I would of stapled in some batting like your supposed to do. NOT throw in loosely, some fluff from a pillow. Batting is relatively cheap & can be bought anywhere.
The sound of that amp is horrible. Too much distortion & boxy sound.
Yeah, there are things that I would do differently now. Thanks for watching.
@@HandlebarWorkshops I refurbish bass cabs. And learned by watching vids here & others who do it as well.
throw that practice amp int the toilet.....that is all
That's probably where ti belongs, but I'm a bit of a hoarder and I'm convinced that there is something I can do with it, even if not a bass amp.
tin your iron first
Yeah. I was just learning. I'm much better at soldering now. Thanks!
I couldn't finish this video. Too much explanation... just build it....
Yeah, this was one of my first few videos. It's pretty rough.
Thanks for the feedback.
It sounds horrible
Good enough for me. I'm just a bedroom player. I'll probably never gig for bass.
Do you plan on putting a Grill cloth on it ? If so, I would to see a video on that .
