Nice one ;-)

Wow 200! Keep up the good work guys ;-)

[sup]Thanks peeps[/sup]

WOW! Such support. Thanks guys, fingers crossed eh ;-)

A bass from this guy!

Nordstrand's EQ's have a passive option that the vol, blend and tone work when on when in passive mode. Sound ace too. Not sure if it's all their models though but it deffo works with the 3B-5B.

That's sort of the idea I am going for. It's all just ideas now not sure weather it will pna out yet, watch this space.

Tap tone does work but not like that video. You have to hold the wood in a certain way, so it's free to vibrate. Then tap it but your not listening to the note but the way the note vibrates and for how long. It's more of a acoustic guitar thing but does work for electrics too. The mass of the neck (or any part of the guitar) matters too. Mostly the sound is based on the pickups and electrics but the wood does make a difference, it's just more complicated than he makes out. Luthiery is a art not a science!

Hi guys, Thanks for the advice. I make guitars and basses and have been looking at getting a few amps made so I need to start looking into cabs too. Also a mate of mine wants to start building guitar cabs so I thought I could pass on some knowledge to him. That Bill Fitzmaurice site looks cool so I think asking him would be a great start. I'm not looking to go into making cabs or change the amplifier world or anything so designing cabs maybe a step too far for now, I'm busy enough making guitars! Anybody have any ideas of what they'd like to see in a amp or cab? Wattage, EQ options, speaker size? Thanks again

What the title says really. Anybody have the knowledge of how to design cabs for guitar and/ or bass?

Mostly bollocks.

Here's one of my favourite's of his - an oldie, but a goodie: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAmX3yDkx2M[/media] [/quote] Cane across this guy on youtube by fluke, great playing and a style that's so different to what most (dare I say any?) other virtuoso style bass players are up to. A breath of fresh air. Shame he plays Warwicks. Oh and check your Emails Schol

Seen these at the NW guitar show. Sound awesome for guitar never heard of anyone using them for bass though. I think they make cabs too, wonder if there any good for bass?

[quote name='JamesFlashG' timestamp='1374243148' post='2146828'] I have 0 experience at it or working with wood though =[ would love to try and get involved some how [/quote] Nithier do I!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1373277739' post='2135493'] Aye! Paul's done a great job in picking the woods. Very good quality materials and some really interesting grains. The fretboard is particularly beautiful. [/quote] Thanks :-) I've just cut the headstock angle, gonna plane the edges for gluing this afternnoon. Thinknig about it, where not too far off now! I'll send you a e-mail at the end off the week with some pic's Paul. It's taking shape now :-D

Welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll love it!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm going to measure the place sometime next week and have a think.

wow, thanks for the replies guys. [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1369904143' post='2094074'] You're going to be busy what with this and building a certain someone's bass... [/quote] No worries Paul. I'll have made your bass before/ if I even make a start on this project. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1369904663' post='2094095'] IMO the main constructional issue for rehearsal rooms is not noise leaking to the outside, but sound leakage from one room to the others. Your partition walls between the rooms need to be of the same standard as the outside walls, which means brick or some other heavy duty construction and preferably with a sizeable air-gap between each room. [/quote] Yeah, I was thiknig wood walls at first to keep the costs down but I think bricks of some sort would be the way to go. A gap inbetween the walls with some sort of dense soundproofing inbetween. As this is a industrial job (as in not at home) I could use sand or soil or something like that.

Thanks Pete

Hi all, I'm thinking of building some rehearsal rooms. Any basschatters had experience of building rehearsal rooms? I'd be renting them out so would need to be to a professional standard. I was thinking of just building a wooden frame and using some sort of soundproof insulation inbetween. The space is open plan so I'm free to make 'em anyway I want. No neighbours so no need to worry about the noise. I was even thinknig about offering some basic recording if possable. Thanks-Paul-

I'll be exhibiting there. It's a good show with loads to see (mostly guitars though). Not sure if I can post this, I'm sure the mods will be along if not!
