I'll take them mate if you still have them?

Hi mate do you know what wood the body is made from?

Hey all,

Got to the gig last night to find that 1 of my cabs has blown . Can anybody sugest a replacment or what I should be looking out for?

My rig consists of;

15 Band sterio graphic eq
Into a 900w head - 450w P.S. @ 4ohms
Into the Marshall MBC 410 & 115 stack

Both cabs are rated @ 4ohms, the 410 is 600w but the 115 is only 300w.

I need to replace the 15" as i think its blown because it was farting like crazy during sound check so in the end i didnt use it.
I've been looking around on the net and the only driver i can find which i think will do the job is this;

[url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/celestion-bn15400s-4ohm-neo-magnet-bass-guitar-speaker-15-p-547.html"]http://www.lean-busi...r-15-p-547.html[/url]

Celestion BN15-400 - 400w @ 4ohms but it costs a fortune.

I've looked a a few from Eminence but they are all rated at 8ohms for some reason.

So anybody with any sugestions please give me a shout, I believe im after 450w or more @ 4ohms.


Right thats that bit, now for the complicated bit

The cab also has a tweeter in it, and i believe a crossover. Would these affect what driver im looking for?

E.g. if the tweeter is rated at 8ohms (i dont know if it is) can i get say a 500w @ 8ohm driver as long as they are wired right?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Hey all.

I'm planning on building a couple of 1x15 cabs or a single 2x15 cab.

The speakers I've got are rated at 250w@8ohm each.

The amp I'm planning on using is rated at 300w@4ohm or 450@2ohm

Is it possible for me to do this without blowing the speakers or overloading the amp?

If so how?

Parallel or Series? etc.?

All help is greatfully recieved.

Cheers
Chris

Hey All,

I'm selling my Marshall MB 450H Head £200.

Only seling because I changed my rig to a power amp with seperate graphic eq a while back.

I was planning on keeping the head as a back up amp but due to tight funds it has to go.

Marshall MB450H Bass Head

The Marshall MB450H Bass Guitar Amplifier Head, 450 Watts. Superb, versatile two channel Bass Amp head with a monstrous 450 Watt power output.
The Marshall MB450H is a powerhouse of a head, it wallops a massive 450 Watts of total bass power when connected to two extension cabinets. All that's left to do now is choose your preferred choice of cabinets so you can plug in and rock! The two channels (Modern and Classic) are both present, each with separate EQ. Modern features Bass, Treble, parametric Mid and a compressor.
The Classic channel with its ECC83 pre-amp valve includes a Boost switch and has a 3-band passive tone network with three different voices. Like the high wattage Marshall combo's, the MB450 has the option of blending the two channels either from the front panel or via a supplied two-way footswitch.

Cheers for the help guys, so just to se if I have got this right, use some sort of oil - dainish, teak etc. rub in a a lot of thin coates then rub in a beeswax coat for finish (but i would need to keep doing this over time)?

If i was to do this I would not need the body lacquering?

I'm also thinking of a maple & mahogany neck, could I use the same technique on this?

Thanks very much guys.

What bridge and pups are going to be used on this?

Hey All,

Got a few different new builds on the go and just doing some reasearch into finishes.

I came across this picture of a custom build and i love the finish on it but im not sure how to achive the same look to one of mine can anybody help?

[attachment=89242:bass.jpg]

Cheers for the help!

No I havn't mate, i could try them but im quite happy with it as it is to be honest its serverd me well over the the 9 months of gigging with it.


Thanks for the tip though

[quote name='Rumple' post='1368428' date='Sep 10 2011, 11:45 AM']Nice first build.

Does the laminated body make the bass quite heavy?

How have you wired up your pick-ups? Volume plus Tone and a pick-up selector switch?[/quote]



No the lminated body is no heavier than if it was all mahogany.

and I messed up abit on the wiring which as im sure you know std. Jazz has 3 pots ...... thats was the plan.

but due to where i had located the jack socket, when the jack was inserted it was touching the back of the 3rd pot.

The hole was already drilled so I had to do something with it so i was going to put a 3 way switch in ON-ON-ON but couldn't get my hands on 1 so its just an on-off switch at the min.

So the set up is 1 Volume - 1 Blend pot (also acts as a tone pot if you like, blending the sound form each pup) - 1 on-off switch.

Hey All.

Newbie to the forum.

Been looking at someof the custom basses on here so decided to show my first build.

All comments welcome .... Enjoy!
