    Building speaker cabinets -Long Throw encloseur

    I just acquired a Peavey 118 speaker and have nothing to put it in. Unless an 18" cabinet falls from the sky and lands in my yard I am forced to make a box. I am interested in the longthrow design. I spent a few minutes searching info about them, didn't come up with too much. If you have...

    Acoustic 470 head

    I have 40 bucks in this set up. 10 for the head and 30 for the cab. CL is a godsend for a gearslut like me. You have to be diligent and have the funds when it gets posted.

    Acoustic 470 head

    I just bought this off of craigslist , guy told me it is messed up but works. I gave him ten bucks and didn't bother to try it out. Today I hooked it up to my Musicman cab and plugged it in . All kinds of scratchy noise. I mean a lot. I started turning the knobs back and forth . they started...

    Thanks guys , as KJPollo pointed out , it's going to be a tough sale. I listed it on Craigslist to trade or sale and didn't get one reply. Not even a scammer. The bottom G has a distinct buzz that annoys the **** out of me. Maybe the bridge needs to have a file lightly passed through it.

    If I were to remove the octave strings , would I need to do anything with the truss rod to compensate for tension?

    Thanks guys , but I don't think I like it. My other bass is a 5 string and I wish it was a 4. I play a six string guitar mostly . Well used to , they have been collecting dust lately. For some reason I have become infatuated with bass.

    Pawn Shop Find

    I found this in a pawn shop yesterday and I thought the price seemed too cheap. It's a Dean Rhapsody and I got it for 100USD. It's an eight string , EMG-HZ pick ups with a custom Dean preamp and a set of grover tuners. I don't know if I like it. Anyone have any experience with this bass?

    Help with my GK Please.

    Hey B string , Props ! You were right it worked beautifully. Now I have some more questions. 1. Can I use that Radio shack adapter to bridge the signal to my Musicman? Turn the 60 stereo into 120 Mono. I am worried that it might damage the amp. So I am not going to try until I get...

    Rig I am trying to buy

    I looked and seen the heads as cheap as 85 and I think the highest was 167. Dude doesn't play and got an over the phone quote . I am guessing it was a list price quote. He dropped to 850$ Lol.

    Rig I am trying to buy

    Yeah , this guy really screwed up not taking what I offered. Here is his pitch : Make a big impression. Almost 5' tall, rare matched full stack. 1 speaker cabinet holds 4 10" speakers, the other 1 holds 1 18" speaker. 440 watts loud. Looks nice and works great. I will trade for a Tractor, side...
