    Hartke Plastic things

    in Completed Items

    Posted

    [quote name='beerdragon' post='390331' date='Jan 24 2009, 12:44 PM']I was having a sort out and came across these, i bought an Hartke amp a while back and it must have come with it. basically they are eight black plastic protective edges and for rubber feet which must be for an amp. looks like most of the screws are there. if anyone wants these i will stick them in a jiffy bag and post them 2nd class. pics if you want them.[/quote]

    If these are still going, I'll take them, as I've got a HA7000 unracked with no corners.

    Cheers muchly

    Strings as pickups?

    I've seen it done somewhere, but I'm buggered if I can recall where. It was done on a single-string instrument, and the string ran back down the instrument (inside perhaps?) so it could be connected to both poles of the jack. I'll try to find a link this evening.

    [quote name='The_D' post='378312' date='Jan 12 2009, 09:47 PM']I'll vouch for Alien. He sold me a DIY 2x10 and its a cracking little cab.[/quote]
    Thanks Buddy! ;)

    This was built to go with the one I sold to The_D, it's got the same corners and connections just a different grille. Anyway, here's a couple of pics like you requested.

    I've got a DIY 4 Ohm 1x15 that doesn't get a lot of use. Fitted with an Eminence Kappa driver, 450W handling. I'd be looking for about £80. I could probably deliver as I'm going to be down your neck of the woods fairly soon. PM me if you're interested.

    HELP NEEDED CHOOSING CORRECT CAB!!!

    [quote name='oldmanrock' post='365794' date='Dec 29 2008, 09:49 PM']If a speaker is capable of bi-amping, then the plate on the back of the speaker will have 4 binding posts: 2 + terminals and 2 - terminals. Both + terminals and both - will have a piece of metal connecting them together. To bi-amp the speaker, remove the metal piece. Then, use the top 2 terminals for the high frequency amp, and the bottom two terminals for the bass amp.[/quote]

    No, no, no, no, no! Speakers with 2 linked sets of posts are suitable for bi-WIRING not bi-amping. This is one of those hi-fi things that always struck me as pointless, as you're still using the same passive crossovers.

    Assuming you could find one, you might also want to consider a Laney G12. Pretty much copied from the Trace GP12 (note I said copied, not cloned) runs bi-amp, stereo or mono. Worth a look if one comes up.

    Their company manifesto rocks!

    relays the philosophy that guides our efforts:

    Our instruments are built for frugal people
    who aren't very concerned with regard to
    quality, construction, materials, or safety.

    The instruments are crafted from whatever
    we find suitable. Pedigree of wood is not
    a priority for us. We might get it from
    a local hardware store, or use some old
    shipping crates, or skids. Who knows??!!

    If you are intrigued enough to purchase,
    we will provide you with a complete history
    for your instrument. The history might be
    akin to this:

    Wood: leftover 2x4 from a construction site.
    Strings: used about 3 years ago on an old guitar.
    Pickups: some buncha crap we snagged from some guy.
    Electronics: whatever we can scrounge up!

    Our warranty: There is no warranty, expressed or
    implied. We fully acknowledge our product is crap, and
    your purchase signifies that you have entered into an
    agreement to buy a product that is lacking in quality,
    contains poor materials, and is worthy of much abuse
    and destruction. We will in no way provide any
    customer service, so don't even waste your time!!![/quote]
