    Squire P Bass gets a new lease on life

    I am currently in the midst of doing a mid 60's clone from an Affinity Jazz and am wondering, Does anyone know if there's a template out there somewhere to mark the headstock for the big tuner holes after plugging the smaller ones? My math and geometry skills are not what they used to...

    Question on power for DIY 2x15 cab

    The 425w or so is where it hit xmax...so anything over that would be an invitation to disaster? That was my thinking, but wanted confirmation from those who are more learned on the subject.

    Question on power for DIY 2x15 cab

    Similar, not a direct copy...winisd shows almost flat from 50hz up to about 2.5k, and 128db with 450ish watts in 6cu.ft. @ 45hz, iirc...numbers may vary a little, am on my phone right now...

    Question on power for DIY 2x15 cab

    I am about to begin construction on a 2x15 similar to johnk_10's Starliner, but using Emi Legend CB158's instead of the 3015's. Here's the question...the Legends are rated 300rms/600program watts each...as far as amp power is concerned, should I rund something in the 600w range to match the rms...

    Buddy Holly tribute on PBS last night - what bass amp?

    Buddy has a neice and nephew (Ingrid Holly and Eddie Weir) who still live in Lubbock. I have played with them both, and can bear witness to the fact that Buddy may have died, but the music has not. On a side note, we have a saying around here... Lubbock has been supplying musicians to the...

    Newbie seeking input on a DIY cab.

    Ok so I’ve been messing around with ISD trying to learn its in’s and outs…a couple days ago I was playing with some cab volumes and tunings, when, I thought I’d just put in the basics and let the program do all the work…here’s what I found…. I chose 2 - 3015s in a 45hz box…ISD gave me a box...

    Newbie seeking input on a DIY cab.

    Yeah I just noticed the ohm issue...lemme see what it says with the Deltalite 2515s...I could just as easily and more cheaply use the Legends, but am trying to build in a little 'schleppage factor'... *EDIT* HMmmm, 8ohms + big amp = room for another cab....yummy. LOL

    Newbie seeking input on a DIY cab.

    Ok, I think I may have finally gotten the hang of using WinISD... According to ISD, using BASSLITE C2515s, in a 45hz, 7.279cu.ft. cab, should yield a displacement limited 225 watts and average roughly 124db. Since the 2515s are rated at 300w each, would it be safe/sane to to feed them...

    Greetings from Texas! I have lurked here for a couple years, trying to absorb everything I could from the vast knowledge bass (pun intended)...BTW, (many props to BFM, GB, JohnK10, etc, etc) and have now gotten to the point where I have a few solid concepts, but need some clarification on a...
