    DIY 1x15 bass cab is displaying some strange behavior, need help

    Thank you both for your help. So if I'm to understand what you're saying, I should check to make sure I have the proper cable for the jack, as well as ensuring the proper terminals are connected of course.

    The jack I'm using is the same kind as in the graphic. Honestly I don't know the terms very well, so what's a "ring" on an input jack?

    Thank you for sharing the graphic, it's very helpful! I'm fairly certain that's how I've wired my rig though. It's only the two wires, correct?

    DIY 1x15 bass cab is displaying some strange behavior, need help

    The way I have it wired follows this diagram. Is there an additional wiring that I need to consider? I'm sorry, I'm new at this and realizing now that I bit off more than I can chew. http://300guitars.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/spkr-dia-11.gif

    DIY 1x15 bass cab is displaying some strange behavior, need help

    That makes sense and I feel dumb for not realizing. I've been using the Ampeg head for gigs, and when run through an Acoustic B115 I have it sounds fine. The output connector seems like a standard 1/4" jack. The amp's an Ampeg PF500 for reference. The speaker is actually used from Guitar Center...

    DIY 1x15 bass cab is displaying some strange behavior, need help

    Hey guys, looking for some technical help with a bass cab I built. The issue I'm having is that once the amp is wired in (using a basic mono 1/4" jack from AllParts and an Eminence Legend CB158), the tone coming through the speaker is very faint and distorted. Even stranger is when I place my...

    For Sale 1930's Pfretzschner 3/4 scale Upright

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I'll take some better pictures of the headstock when I get home from the 5 week tour I've been on. Sorry I can't be of more help as of yet. As for carved vs. ply, I did some research and it looks to be a carved bass in person, which is what the seller told me...

    MarkBass Little Mark III issues (not enough power?)

    I've been having some issues with my MarkBass Little Mark III head and I was wondering if I might be able to discern the problem with some input from the community here. It started a few weeks ago with the blue ON light turning incredibly dim a few moments after switching the amp on. A couple...
