[Minneapolis/MN Thread] Midwestern Comradarie

[MNAirHead]

sounds good. I'll try to bring my bassman clone too. And one beer.

One ---- I'd pitch in

 

[kraigo]

I've got a fully refurbed 1971 Traynor Mark II (2x SED Winged C KT-88's running at a high plate voltage for around 80 - 100 watts) that I'm ready to part with. I don't want to break TB rules since I'm not a contributing member, so I'll say no more.

KO

P.S. And I'll bring some nice ale or another.

For sure! I'll be sending out directions a week, or so, before. PM me so we can get a tentative head count.

Don't worry. I'll bring a few red solo cups too.

You are bring that to the gtg, right?

 

[Luckie]

Is that a head or a combo?

 

[nealpolitan]

I canʻt make this GTG (stupid work) but Iʻm from WI too and they have seemed to tolerate me in the past.

Welcome!

The Mark II is a head only. It's in good working condition. I had it recapped and replaced the tubes.

I'll bring the Traynor Mark II to the GTG. I'll probably bring the Fender BXR410 4x10 cab as well. The BXR410 is a sealed 4x10 cab with a tweeter. I pulled the crossover and popped Jensen MOD 10/50's in. I was trying for a bit of an SVT vibe. I'm sure it's more than I want to carry to a gig. The cab with the original components (and a drawing of how it all goes together) and the Jensens is also for sale.

I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm moved to Minnesota from Ohio two years ago and live in the Mankato area. You all should post dates and locations for upcoming gigs. Then I will have an excuse to leave the house.

 

[kraigo]

BassDoc51, you've come to the right place. This seems to be the thread that funnels most of the Minnesota traffic.

Welcome.

My [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is playing at Harriet Brewing on the 29th. Say hi to the bass player .

 

[kraigo]

That's my neighborhood. I'm stopping by tonight to drop off a CD in case one of the 40 bands playing on 7/14 drops out. I'll try to go to this.

KO

 

[Matt Ides]

I spend most of my time on the DB side, but wanted to stop in and say hi. I still need to get to Harriet to refill a growler.

Anybody on here have any experience with Kraken Cabs?

I've heard the name, but thats it...

 

[hdracer]

I spoke to him on the phone about a 215 cab.
Nice guy but I didn't buy one.
I don't know a lot about cab building and speakers but from what I have learned from reading on here, he has a different approach to speaker/cab matching.

 

[kraigo]

I'm curious. Is there a site I can read about his stuff? I tend to be pretty orthodox in my speaker designing. The physics of loudspeakers is pretty well understood with a bunch of competing goals and tradeoffs. I find it challenging enough without having to go into "blood of a virgin goat at the new moon" territory.

I'm a skeptic in that I think that those who don't take an engineering approach go that route because they don't understand the engineering approach. But I'm genuinely interested. If nothing else, I've got a fair number of cabs (a lot of raw speakers in my basement) in various stages of design that I'd love to find the right cabinet maker for,

I saw this and emailed him asking how much it weighed. Good lookin stack but I want a 2x15.

In the 15 inch speaker vein, I'm on the hunt for a
JBL k140 to load into a music man 115rh cab I got for $10. If anyone knows of such a speaker, pm me.
