Low Down Sound Club, Part Four

[Stumbo]

Don is still going. I just received this from him this week and it is amazing! We did a single faital Pro 400 and it nails the sound I was looking for, Plus I love the looks! I would love to have anotherView attachment 2902893

Nice bass!

 

[Dale Johnson]

Thanks! I love the short scale music master, and I had a great time rebuilding it. It was in need of a lot of TLC. It is now my favorite by far.

I use this 3 way 1-8 airhead cab just about every day...

 

[slagheap]

yeah, Don built me a 2 x 15 cab w/ PR400s. i have since gone the mini-cab route, but every time i pull out the LDS cab to snap some sell pics, i end up playing through it instead. then i put it back in the corner where it's been living under the moving blankets. one of these times i need to follow through!

Super psyched that Don's still building. Hopefully this year I can set aside the cash to order an identical 15/6 to my favorite cab ever:

Nice! Do you run your electrics, or an URB through that?

 

[Brad Johnson]

Electrics and an EUB. I just use it in my office these days for shedding.

Pictures? I love Don's workmanship.

it's back in the corner under the blankets. kind of a plain-jane ( can i say that? ) cab, not one his fancy jobs. very easy to transport. blk steel grill, blk duratex, ported. doesn't sound plain-jane! can't myself to sell it.

 

[Dale Johnson]

I can only imagine how it sounds, lots of air moving there. I've been impressed how musical the speaker is. Not boomy and not thin, I really like it.

 

[Dale Johnson]

I just got off the Phone with Don, and he said to please spread the word that he is going strong and taking orders.
The previous limitations were from when his wife had health problems several years ago. So please pass the word along to all who will be interested that Don is still at it!

Don is a really cool guy. When I ordered my cab ( several years ago now, ) we talked bass for quite awhile.

 

[SickAura]

Don almost always answers his phone and is just a class act IME

Before he moved out to the West coast, he worked out of Detroit, which is very close to me. I always picked my cabs up when he was done building them. We would hang for an afternoon in his shop and shoot the poopie about bass. Don is also a bass player himself, and also builds guitar cabs and PA boxes.

If anyone has his email or phone number could you pm me his info? Thanks!

 

[Jeff Scott]

His contact info should be on his website:

I didn’t know about the LDS club.
I have a LDS 210, I don’t remenber when I ordered it from Don.
I Sold and Got many Cabs, but looks like this little one is a keeper.

 

[Chef]

He does very good work.

 

[donahue]

I Have an LDS cab on order.
Hints:
1. 27.5in wide (could be a giveaway)
2. Looks old but won't sound old!
3. Don hasn't yet built a cab in this "style"

Don's been a super nice guy to deal with. He answers the phone every time I call. You don't get that anywhere! I'm a picky weirdo, so I requested he contact me before he starts to confirm all details. FYI his current lead is 4-6 weeks.

 

[Ian Trusheim]

Anybody had Don build a sealed cab? Sealed 210, 115 or 15/6?

Thanks,
Ian
