Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

No better or smaller than your Bassic.

The better parts not a worry, I know it won't do bass nearly as well or the same. Size wise, it needs to be 20 wide. Also, no porting so that removes 7" of space.
20" wide
18" tall
9-10" deep
Give or take for sound. Then it would fit better in the living room. An idea I just had would be turning the 50 watt head into a flip top to fit and flip out from the cab.

I would just build a staggered guitar 212.

Could it handle standard tuned, short scale bass. Most times I'd have a high pass filter or strangle on and they be pushing guitar amps. Not excessive volume. Mostly this would be for guitar, I just don't to destroy it when. That's not the case.

Smaller the better as long as it can handle the 20" wide 9" deep rockmaster.

It should survive low volume bass use if it is sealed. Probably find a used 212 for cheap used.
 
A buddy of mine tried to give his Washburn tele when he was moving a while back. I played for a while, it was actually really nice - the neck was super thin - probably didn't appeal to fender guys very much. I should have just taken it, but dude was going through some sh*t and liquidating a lot of music gear - told him to keep at least one guitar. I hope he did keep it, wasn't really worth much to sell.
 
Please let me know how I can help...All my cabs have been good for more shows than most people ever play and I would never skimp on anyone else's...bass cabs have stuff that comes loose no matter what, but I have no issues other than routine stuff that is similar to any cab I've ever owned

I would like to say that I have found ZERO similar situations after hours of searching online. I think this cab is great, the support from Mark has been great, but I was just a little frustrated that I had been blaming a speaker this whole time and it ended up being just a few screws in the mounting hardware.

The plastic corners are the only thing I would change. Definitely would choose metal next time around. That was an option from the get go, my fault for not choosing them. My other cabs are metal - Based on my rough use shoulda done the same.

My posts were not meant to disparage the Greenboy line, or Mark, I was just feeling a little at my wits end. Sorry if that's how my rants came out.
 
Speaking of weird basses...look what just arrived from funkytown

Looks way cool, lots of mojo, it plays half way decent, hopefully is sounds as cool as it looks. It is gonna need a new bridge, Im thinking something big and brass and total screw replacement job. The medium scale feels nice and not too short. Should be perfect for standard/half step down. I might have found myself a gem...
Rickenbacker-esque pickup positions...
