S/D Bassists #86 - Dollar Tree Romance

Just thinking out loud here:

Picked up 2 1x15 Peavey Black Widow cabs. They each have a single port below, and off-centered of the speaker. Noticed that the porting on my dually is 4 huge ports for the 2x15.

What do I need to investigate to see if adding/expanding the porting size of the Peavey would create better low end response?

How is the dampening on the Peavey cabs? That is a common upgrade on those.
 
Good start!!! Thanks!

Will crack 'em open this weekend

If you can get 1.5-2" on the back, sides and top I expect you'll notice a difference in its sound. Especially if you can A/B them.
You probably have 1502s those don't much like a very low tuning from what I remember. IMO it's not worth fooling with the tuning.
 
Damn there's a guy offering to trade for vintage gear and expensive gear with 9mm/45 ammo...

I think you'd need a Humvee to haul the 9mm equivalence of a vintage SVT in cost!


I've seen a case of 1000 rounds of 9mm goes for around $250-$300. So I guess a used SVT Cl would be 4000-5000 rounds? Hell, a car could haul that. An SUV wouldn't be a bad idea though...

Back in March 2013 while Dinosaur Jr were on tour in Australia, j stopped by the shop to play an intimate and very loud instore as his alter ego Heavy Blanket. Bringing heavy psych, guitar solos and noise - lots of noise - together in an amalgam of pure music, it was the first time anywhere that Heavy Blanket had performed live.

Bringing everything together on March 14th at Tym guitars in Brisbane, Australia the result was something to behold. The shop was packed and the stage was set up with over 300W's of valve power just for j to wail through while Graham had fourteen 10"s speakers pumping out the bass.
The result is 25 minutes of volume and screeching Jazzmaster backed by a heavy, driving rhythm section. The show was professionally recorded to 16 track and captured for future generations to be in awe of.

Gnarly. Too bad it's $30.
 
I've heard the new Conan, it's pretty sweet. That review is hilarious though, I wish I cared that much about anything.

But yeah, new Conan record is good, check it out once it's out for sure.

conan rules, looking forward to that album.

i know youre a big tape echo/delay guy, have you ever heard or gotten a chance to play that Binson Echorec? jesus that thing sounds ****ing phenomenal. best tape delay ive ever heard, and its not even tape haha. 3000 for a pedal is no fun, but damned if that thing doesnt rule.

Yeah, it's different from Monnos, but still killer, they're growing as a band, in a good way.

I haven't gotten a chance to use a legit Binson Echorec, but I did have the catalinbread copy, I considered selling my Roland RE-101 with how good that CB pedal sounded. It was like 99% there in emulation of a real tape echo, first digital delay I truly liked.

Didn't mess with the crazy rythmic stuff it could do too much while I had the pedal version, I could see that being super awesome to use in certain projects. I had a pigtronix echolution when they first came out (and before I decided analog delay's were the sound I wanted) and it could do some really cool rythmic delays, but I never found a good use for them in bongripper...plus it just got too muddled on bass for my tastes.
