@Bill Fitzmaurice I can't find any 15" bass woofer that meets your requirements from Celestion on Celestion official web page?

@Bill Fitzmaurice Which cab would you recommend for a modern clean sounding cab? Omni 15 Full Range or Omni 15 Tallboy? ( None vintage sounding ) Which Celestion drivers would you recommend? For use with these cabs?

Thanks for the input Bill. That's why I tried to figure out how to use WinISD, to find a cab and driver combination that works well. That's also why I haven't purchased your plans already as your cabs suit Eminence drivers and Celestion aren't Eminence. I'm aware about them needing to match up. I guess I didn't make that clear enough in my original post. The frequency response needs to be low enough for a 5 string so around 38-40 Hertz. That's why I picked the BN15-400X, as it states frequency response down to 38 Hertz. The box size isn't such a concern, as long as it isn't huge.

Hi guys, I am looking to build my own bass cab. I was thinking to use a Celestion 15" BN15-400X. I am struggling with coming up with a design. I wish to use the cab with a 5 string bass guitar. I have tried to use WinISD but struggle with it. I am aware of BFM website and designs, but I was wishing to use Celestion over Eminence. So its a case of either I need to somehow figure out how to adjust Bill's design for the different driver or go back to the drawing board completely. I was hoping for it to have a horn, or tweeter. Any help very much appreciated. Whether thats pointing me to different software to WinISD or a great online learning resource, or even a design incorporating a Celestron 15" bass driver and tweeter or horn.

Hi guys, late to the party, I'm looking at building my first cab. I can no longer see the photos or plans posted upto page 3. Does anybody still have the plans? And could post them here or send me them by pm?

Iron Maidens new song, The Writing On The Wall.

Learning Megadeth In My Darkest Hour.

Megadeth - Killing is my Business and Business is Good album.

That's a cool track, the bass sounds awesome in it.

Um what does GAS mean ? 😊

Maybe give Ricky Sounds a try, the 5 string Ric has a vintage and modern tone range. I think it has some really usable tones, surely somewhere in the UK had one in. The new pick-up seem to do a great job of equal volume across all 5 strings.

Yes I've yet to learn a Motorhead song believe it or not! Yesterday I tuned the bass to B, C#, G#, C#, f#. Bass of Doom!

My first Ric arrived this week, here are photos.

It was really a case for me that I had been looking at basses online from Fender, Ibanez, Warwick. Then I got listening to Motorhead, was reminiscing how Lemmy is one of my main reason for picking up bass. My next bass had to be a 5 string. So I looked at 5 string Ric's online, found video reviews and read some reviews. So I pulled the plug on one. Big gamble, having never played a Ric before. But glad I did. I much prefer the look of the 5 string Ric than the 4 string.

It's landed and sounds sweet. Excellent build quality, the tuners are something else, and the tones!

Judas Priest - Redeemer of Souls album.

Megadeth - 1000 Times Goodbye

Listening to Corey Taylor - CMFT album.

I always used to think a 410 and 115 was a classic combination. The advice though from professional cabinet makers is if you find a cabinet you like, buy two of them. Funny enough I'm going through the same decision making process, I have an old Ashdown ABM115 Compact 500w. I'm considering paring it with either an Ashdown 210 or 410.

Judas Priest - Necromancer! Banging tune, have to say the album Firepower is very good.

Being that these are FRFR cabs are you guys going to be using them with modeling amps?

Well folks thanks to @Oldman, I now have a Positive Grid Bias Amp Head. Connected it to my Ashdown ABM115 Compact 500 Watt cab. And used my Sterling Stingray 4HH. First thing I noticed is the sound sounded "fuller, thicker" Whether that is the head or settings is yet to be decided. This morning I connected the head to the Bias Amp 2 Professional software. I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. I can not wait to get experimenting. For anybody not in the know, at 4 Ohm the head puts out 850 Watts, at 8 Ohm it puts out 600 Watts.

Motorhead - Under Cover album

I use Songster on my phone, no bugs issues. Will check out the other programs you mentioned.

Yes that's what I've found the songster can be wrong. Then again a lot of tab found online on various websites is wrong, and that's the good ones. Always pays to listen to the track and try and dissect it and cross reference with the tab.
