At a loss to get my tone goals. Where I live the only music store is Winn Dixie grocery.
Only thing I love are my strings. I have 4 used E strings from acoustic guitars on my bass.
I love tube amps. The one I have has only a volume control that works. The other controls add hiss and white noise. Especially the one labeled channel. The Tube is huge so I'm sure it can get me that fat tone. The speaker is forward facing through the metal grill. It seems to be a 6x9 and is under the name plate that says RCA Victor.
So help from my fellow TBers is needed.

On second thought... Ric5 nailed it.

| | | | Kinda like New Age Classical Death Metalcore funk having a child fathered by White Boy Zydeco/power pop (in the 'post' era Ricks and picks are frownded upon)

The music of the teens is Trance Polka Funk. Trance Polka Funk uses B strings. Winn Dixie has both strings and Trance Polka cabinets In between the spice section and kitchen utensil section. FYI - These strings and cabinets are NOT good for metal.

It sounds a little bigger than my 6x9. |

Can you share an example of this genre? I think a lot of people are interested... or amused at least.

| | | | If I move those two metal wands on the top some of the hiss goes away and I sometimes hear Lawrence Welk and Soul Train at the some time. Could be a subtle influence.
My drummer says my rig came with wireless built in!! |

4 E strings? Are they all tuned the same?
An RCA Victor amp with a 6X9 speaker?
Post industrial polka funk? (Although that genre is intriguing) I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just say no, I don't think that cab would be good for anything except maybe if you took the grill off, laid it on it's back and filled it with M&Ms.
I'm thinking you might try modifying a stock stereo system out of a 1972 Yugo with bald tires. If you weld a 1/4" input jack to the head of the cassette deck, you'll get an amazing tone. And it looks great on stage! Especially if it's yellow.
But hey, if it works for you, set the hiss and white noise knobs FLAT, throw a Shure SM57 on that puppy crank it up, baby!

I agree with the Dr. Bass suggestion, Marc Serio is THE authority on post-industrial polka funk, AND he is very quick also. He usually has the cab built within 2-3 years........ |

Now I'll go back to lurking. Well played Chadds! |

You need to put flatwounds on a Fender P and play it through an Ampeg amp and cab. Duh! A simple search on "Best" would have eliminated this entire thread.
Personally however, my xmass calculations show that for your genre a 3X6X9 mounted in a pararhomboidistic array in the box from a 1974 Whirlpool trash compactor would be the ideal cab. Assuming proper internal crossbracing and external flying buttresses are added, of course.
Hope that helps. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
