Thanks for even more info Stumbo, I hear ya with the compromises. Working with those I'm guessing I'd have to compromise the most on weight. I just wanted to avoid having to carry her amp for her after I had already unloaded all my gear LOL. So in trying to building something small, loud...

Thanks Stumbo. Both links were interesting and I loved the detail Fdeck went into in his analysis of the small box cabinet. Something like that could be right up my alley. On thing though and I just know this is really going to mess things up. It would be nice to see her getting really low...

Thanks guys :) Yeah I expect the design process to be much harder then the actual build. That part I have under control. I realize it can be a little tiring helping random internet people out with designs. And I promise I'm not looking for every little detail. At this point I'm really...

Did some experiments with my wife, she seems to be comfortable with about 25Lbs and can pickup and hold my Roland Cube 60 which is about 34Lbs but she's not happy with it. I would be too happy lifting something 1/3rd my weight with one hand for very long either LOL. So can anyone point me to...

RickenBoogie. I'm not doing this to save money as much as get into using my tools and skills in a direction of another hobby. Saving money would be a bonus but not the goal. Plus I don't see any reason I couldn't make something just as nice as a commercial cabinet. At the very worst I...

Hey guys, I just picked up an Ibanez Promethean head off ebay and I like the size of the cabs it comes with in combo form. So I've thought of building somewhat of a replica of the 2x10. I've also thought of building the 1x10 and the 1x10 extension cabinet instead. I went in the direction...

Well I took another look at this situation and I has to be something with the amp or power. It does it even with the florescent light in the room off and calms down considerably when you mute the strings pointing towards a ground issue. It also does it no matter what input you use. It's...

Kinda reminds me of people who say that they only call bad black people the n-word. Like that isn't in anyway offensive to other black people.

Oh so you were leaving for no reason at all, AND felt the need to announce it, AND didn't actually leave at all. Ok sorry for the misread of the situation. ;)

LOL that's some funny stuff. Doesn't like it when people call him out it seems. As for the original question I never heard of this ever happening. I don't personally play a lot of crazy drop tuned stuff but I've never had a problem with drop C nor has a friend of mine who plays down to B...

I may be confused but are you asserting that any guitarist that uses anything other then standard tuning or more accurately any form of lowered or drop tuning. Isn't a "professional" and is using "tricks" to cover up his lack of skill and ability? If so that's some of the craziest stuff...

JimmyM Unfortunately it isn't my amp and is located at a friends house so I don't have constant access to it to try anything out until the next time I can stop by. Next time I'm there I'll at least clean the input jack though. bertbass666 I'll definitely check that stuff out. JGR...

K I'll try to answer everyone :) brendanbassist, It happens with 2 different basses and 2 different cords. Like I said I first noticed that rolling off the tone worked when I plugged in the owner of the amp's bass and discovered he had his rolled off. Pilgrim, I took her bass for a...

We tried both pickups, same thing either way. Plus I'm used to the backgound noise you usually hear, it changed depending on what your near or facing. This is pretty much constant. It sounds like a ground thing. Could it be that the amp isn't plugged into a grounded outlet or extension...

Me and some friends were doing some practicing tonight and I was borrowing the Traynor Amp that stays at the hosts jam space and noticed a buzz coming from the amp. It was the first time we had really tried out my wife's new Ibanez Mikro Bass with an actual bass amp at a decent volume so I...
