    Dura Tex refinishing questions

    Yes, I agree about Spackle. I use wood filler. You might want to sand the wood filler pretty well and maybe a light coat of primer. Un- sanded wood filler can get mighty slick. PL adhesive gets very slick as well.

    Baffled by the Baffle ...

    The Recex screws I have, will go all the way through the front mounted speaker's holes and stick out about 1/2" into the inside of the cab. Will this be less strong? Should the screw just be long enough to into the baffle board or is all the way through, OK ???

    Dura Tex refinishing questions

    I think Dura-Tex recommends using "Spackle" for a filler.

    Why are these legendary bassists using Hartke?

    No matter what they use onstage, most have a DI to the board as well. Seems like most of the backline I see at concerts, or on T.V. seem to be SVT's. I'll have to start looking for Hartke's.

    2x15 or 1x15 + 2x10?

    What IF you used TWO different heads with mis matched cabs? Would that negate some of the problems with mixing driver sizes?? So really just two, totally different amps running at the same time.

    Detuned Cabinets?

    Detuned cab's are in the common vernacular and have been around for years in guitar cabs--usually running a 4x12...with only 2 12's. Makes it sound like an open back cab...works for a guitar amp.:bassist:

    Something Clicked!

    I'm going to shake it , just to be sure, but if it rattles I'm going to send it in, before even trying to install it. Thanks everyone for the responses. I was pretty sure, I've never heard a speaker rattle, when brand new. Thanks! jimo

    The speaker looked ok, but when I move it, something is moving around in there. That is not normal, right?

    TL606 or fEARful with 3015 non-LF?

    Hello! I am still working (off and on) on a Tl606 cab with 1/2" ply. And wondered what the preferred bracing would be either wall bracing like the Fearfuls or just running dowels across all ways of the cab? I can do either one.....Also I am thinking about just using finish nails along with...

    Duratex on baffle boards

    Yeah, I saw that people had Duratex on the board, so I knew they must have been doing SOMETHING. So just keep it super smooth in that area and it should be OK.....Thanks!

    I don't know, if the speaker doesn't bolt perfectly flat to the board, it might be big trouble.????

    Ampeg SVT7 Pro Bass Guitar Amplifier Head want the King's X Sound what to add?

    King's X is my favorite band---so if you roll the lows off, you can use a guitar amp for the mids and highs without blowing the speakers, and just run a bass amp for the lows? I think Tom Peterson (Cheap Trick)and Entwhistle (Who) did the same sort of thing, right?

    White Duratex

    I really liked that Orange ,that one guy did on here. It looks like a pumpkin color, but when I went to the paint store for colors that used "Deep Base", they were all lighter, almost pastel colors. It might have just been the True Values Hardware colors. They were willing to tint it, but they...

    White Duratex

    I've been all over the map on colors...but I think I might just go with white a get a good cover for it. If it can be cleaned, then I can do that. I'm just ready for something other than black. So I think White it is going to be. Cheers for all the help! JIMO

    Fun with Duratex

    I've been thinking the WHITE looks good---but does it get real dirty and can you clean it? Could you just roll some white latex over it if you couldn't clean it up?????

    I am building the TL 606..anyone want to see pics??

    Great!, Thanks, I glued the cab together today and used finish nails, just driven in halfway, so I could get them out.....screws might have been better, and just backed them out. The nails seems to have worked though, I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks again!!!
