I'm very much still in the early stages i think! I hadn't considered any of the points you all mentioned! I think i will run it as is without pushing too much through it, in all honesty by the time i start seriously gigging i may be able to afford a better rig anyway, so i'll leave it and play through it, just clean it up, re castor it, re cover it etc so i can sell it on next year. No point plowing £200 into new drivers, like you said thats half a new cab anyway! Thanks again to all for waking me up to a few points and i'll see how it runs

Thanks for the reply and good point about the crossovers, no there are no tweeters. So the current speakers should be able to handle bass playing without too much trouble then? If I had a choice I'd be down my local shop and buying a new cab and head but I have my wedding coming up in august and need to keep costs down! I've been playing for about 9 months and my wedding is going to be my first gig so seemed a cost effective way of having something that's man enough for small venue work. As I'm not 100% with electronics I just assumed guitar speakers couldn't drop low enough to handle bass work but then again the badge does say 70hz to 5khz and 250w RMS so do think it will be ok through the 200w head?

Hello all, I've acquired a Harley Benton 4x12 guitar cab for a tenner which I was going to convert to a bass cab. I've only just thought of crossovers etc in the conversion. Will it be as simple as to just replace the speakers or will I have to replace the crossovers as well? I bought it as I couldn't even buy the timber to make a cab for £10! I will be running it from a torque T2001EBH 200w head if you need to know the running gear. Thanks in advance for any help Matt

Hello, I am looking at starting the Double Bass soon and wondered if I could get some help please. I live near Southampton and I am struggling to find many shops that sell DB's, could anyone suggest any shops up to about 100 miles of Southampton? Shops that do finance would be a bonus, I am not rich and can only go to about £1000 max. Also I am unsure of the size difference between a 3/4 and full size, I am 6' 1" so which size would be better for me? Thank you to any help thats comes through. Matt
