Mini Rigs of Doom Four

#721
It's finally finished - a fEarless-inspired 3-way cab, developed entirely by myself over the last year.

Did everything myself: selecting suitable drivers (Monacor woofer and tweeter, Celestion mid), calculating, drawing and building the cab, measuring and developing a crossover.

To do: Speaker protection, painting the amp holder, maybe tolexing the whole cab.

It sounds absolutely phenomenal with both electric and upright! It blows away everything I've owned previously. Normal bass cabs sound dull and boxy compared to this.

Frequency response is flat enough for use as a monitor, could be used as a PA top too (though I probably won't be building a second one).

I could do a build thread on it, if anyone is interested.

Yep. For a few hundred meters at least. Longer if I only need an electric bass. Is that enough?

EDIT: Thread title indicates that this is the "mini" rigs of doom thread, not "micro". I wasn't aware that a 1x12 doesn't count as "mini" anymore. Need clarification.

Cool. 1x12 cabs are fine for mini and micro. Micro is geared more toward a single cab deal. Both mini and micro require one to be able to carry the entire rig plus bass in one trip. No carts.

From our first attempt at recording at my friends cabin in the middle of nowhere. Amp and wires in a laptop bag, gig bag on my back, cab in one hand and pedal case in the other. Could even manage a second cab in one trip if I had to.

Not the loudest rig by far, but plenty for this setup, rehearsal and recording. Just got a VT Bass too, so now I´m well happy with my sound. Nice and punchy, and anything from clean Ampeg through subtle, warm, fat tube-ish to full on overdrive. Good things do come in small packages :)
