    Long Excursion HiFi Woofer in my Crate Amp

    That Fisher speaker is acoustic suspension. That's why it sounds better in that small cabinet.

    Your Favorite Vintage Car Gear Hauler

    My old Checker Marathon. Could hold just about the entire band and equipment. (We made the drummer sit on the top to hold his drums in place.)

    Extension Speaker/ Add another

    Yes, you can use the tabs off the 8". Make sure you get positive and negative correctly aligned. I am assuming this is a solid state amp, so you would increase the wattage output with 4 ohms vs. 8 ohms. Also you could drill a hole ih the back and add a socket for an extension speaker.

    4X8 speaker cabs

    I know they're not great bass speakers, they weren't designed for that. I can't have too much volume in an apartment. The amp will have 10 watts rms, max. Hooking them up to my little gem, they sound pretty good.

    4X8 speaker cabs

    When I was tearing down a ceiling at a laundromat, I got 4 8" Radio Shack speakers out of it. I was thinking they be good for a practice amp for my apartment, as a lot of power wouldn't work. Be all right in my buddies garage, too. Any design tips for a cab? They're only 15 watts peak.

    Things bassist hate.

    Rap. Sampling. Autotune. Musicians with no groove. Guys that yell,"Play Freebird." Guys that don't understand, yes your GF does want leave with me. (Even at my age!) Bands that think the audience is stupid.

    Marijuana and Bass

    Just my .02$. I've seen guys play stoned and good, and stoned and bad. Same with alcohol and other drugs. Also, I've seen them play completely straight, good and bad. Same goes for me, though beer is my choice. My job is to entertain, and since most of my gigs are at bars, drinking seems to be...

    Advantages of 'clean' tone compared to driven tube tone?

    I always start clean, and dirty it up if I need to. Fortunately I have a PV that does it with a foot switch. Clean takes no more power than dirty, because the dirt comes thru the pre-amp, not the power amp. Dirty just sounds louder
