    Is my pickup bad?

    Hi all. I have same issue. Tone is ok (but I don't feel that grunt that everyone notice with sb basses), parallel resistance (2.9 kOhm) is 4 times less than series (11,2 kOhm), so that coils are intact. Soon I'll try to exclude all pots from circuit (solder papa-jack with a piece of wire to...

    There was only two big ports on both sides. Then I took a piece of styrofoam and filled hole with it. Attaching pieces of plywood, cutting styrofoam was my "adjusting". Resonance was measured by giving different sound frequency and observing of cone excursion. I laid cab with speakers up...

    Sure! It'll be some brutal grill. I have few ideas, but not sure which one can I afford/find appropriate materials.

    So. Sorry guys for such big delay! I've done my cab more than a month ago and I'm glad to introduce it! At first, I purchased drivers. I decided to use a tweeter and to make it adjustable (at least two options + off position). Also I used primitive HPF set to about 3500 Hz. Simple 4.7 uF...

    I tried to translate one russian idiom:) I meant something like "good enough for purpose, but without extra-things", "something was made to do the job, and not to be fancy" Absolutelly the same (and exactly 1/2 where it should be). Also I plan to do some walls inside as stiffening ribs, so I...

    Thanks for response too. I could not get 300W handling in any parameters combination with this drivers :( maybe it is good idea to add 106dB HF with level control onboard? some brands make so.

    Redbrangus, thanks! Step by step: yes, it'll be two drivers in a single enclosure. Pulse12 just because of it's price and ease to get. I want to make it "cheap and hard". I love good sound, but I'm not that kind of musicians who want to know in what time of the year was digged ore from which...

    Hello everybody! We play mostly metal in a garage (4-string bass tuned in D), where my old Ibanez sw65 can work only with both gain and volume knobs cranked out to max. So I decided to upgrade my stuff and to have big reserve of power now. I've got an old Peavey Mark VI bass amp (250W @4Ohms...
