    212 almost DIY bass cab, sealed or not, and Beta 12

    Exactly, it's all about making a choice and the tradeoffs it implies....I will first test it sealed, and I m thinking of a reversible porting ( think tl606, and ho the design allows to plug the vents)

    212 almost DIY bass cab, sealed or not, and Beta 12

    Hi everyone ! I need your advice today, about modifying a closed 212 guitar cab to a bass cab. I know that a lot of threads have been dealing with this kind of design, and I almost spent 2 days reading them. I already have a pair of Eminence Beta 12a, and I’d like to approach Kringle77...

    Did I just buy a fake MIJ JB62?

    Looks like a "standard" MIJ, not the 62. The rear button on the headstock appears missing. The logo and the trussrod access remind me of my standard MIJ pbass....basswood as a body ? Anyway, how does it sound and play ?

    Fender Rumble Club

    Hi, Rumble people ! I was wondering the exact name for the grey grillcloth of my Rumble 500 combo, for I m building an extension cab and wanted to match the exact color. Would that be silver/grey ? Is it the same as the twin reverb ? Thanks a lot !

    Hi bass people ! I need your advice : I recently got for free a Peavey Max 115 amp (300w / 8ohms version)from the owner of our rehearsal place, because it was cutting after two minuts, only bips were getting out of the speaker. He decided he did not had the time to have it repaired and...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I've been experimenting lately with the gain structure of the R500 combo, and as mentioned here before, the sound is much much defined with the gain at 9 oclock with my pbass....I lost a lot of time being disappointed with the gain much higher and trying to EQ out the muddiness while loosing the...

It's a 2004 Japan Fender, Fender original 62 pickups, allparts cream cover, 47 orange drop cap, and only 3.7kg (8.7 lbs). (Formerly sunburst) It's not that...
