    So, how's it sound?

     

    A bit light on bass frequency at the mo, but some acoustic wadding might improve matters, as might some better speakers.

     

    However, it's pleasingly noisy for it's size & is definitely passable for home practice.

    Does he?

    Yes

     

    Does he really?

    Yes

     

    Or are you just inflicting this on him?

    Yes / No

     

    Cruel I call it*. Psychological torture. Banned by most civilised nations, that is.

    Put him in a little orange romper suit and you’ve got the Manchester version of Guantanamo Bay.

    Sadly you have ignited an idea to build something similar. I seem to recall that tucked away in the basement there are a couple of 4ins speakers salvaged from a Grundig HiFi sub woofer that I chucked away a few years back. 

    Note to self:- remember how dusty it is down the basement 🙄

    Do it!

     

    And do a build diary! 👍🏻

    And now the wait for speaker mesh, panel pins and bits begins.

     

    It sounds okay with the HotOne amp, but not much bottom end. It'll maybe be better when the 'lid' is on. Possibly get some better speakers if I reckon its worth it.

     

    Jobs remaining:

    1 - make 'lid' & cover in vinyl;

    2 - make speaker grille frame;

    3 - finish corners;

    4 - mount HotOne on lid;

    5 - work out lid opening device!

    I posted on the Amps & Cabs section to see if anyone could recommend a small speaker cab for use when staying away from home that would partner the Hotone Nano Bass amp.

     

    There were lots of useful suggestions, but nothing that quite matched what I was after. I love the PJB stuff, but and that would probably be perfect for the job, but I didn't want to spend any money on bass gear this year. With this in mind, I decided to spend money building my own travelling cab to my own spec.!

     

    What I was after is a small, not loud speaker cab for quiet practice that I could take with me when I wasn't at home. To be powered by something like the Hotone Nano or Vox Amplug, making it portable was important.

     

    I would usually just practice with headphones & a preamp, but the baby likes me to play along to songs for him ('Reach' S Club 7, 'Go Your Own Way' Fleetwood Mac, and 'Rockabye' Clean Bandit are particular favourites! 🤣).

     

    Last month when we stayed in a holiday cottage, and I used my Vox Amplug & the Blackstar Fly 3 extension cab that I'd modified to take a 1/4" Jack plug. The sound was okay, all things considered, but I wanted something less 'plasticcy'. The idea for the Teeny Tiny Bass Cab V.01 was forming.

     

    I had a couple of 3" 15W 4Ω FR hifi speakers lying around, and so decided to build my cab around those.

     

    Not being able to do the calcs for speaker internal volume and port requirements, I had the brainwave to scale down the dimensions of my Trace Elliot 2103H cab: 2x 10" speakers down to 2x 3" speakers = divide TE dimensions by 3.333333333333333333333 rec.

     

    Sometimes my genius astounds even me! vachette.gif.0adc69576f9e525464eba95016ce32ca.gif

     

    I drew up my design & went shopping.

    Dear Mr Liberace,

     

    My suggestion is that you ask the same person who is going to drive you to the hospikul to pick them up for you.

     

    Or you could always ask feckin’ Alexa and watch it short circuit

     

    Yours,

     

    Lieutenant-Commander Margaret Merryweather, Women’s Institute (Paramilitary Wing), MA, Ret’d.

     

     

    Madam,

     

    I'll have you know that we do not allow the likes of that little data-slut 'Alexa' or her ilk in our domus.

     

    Furthermore, due to the continuing global Covid pandemic, current NHS advice to those who have accidentally amputated extremeties is, and I quote,

     

    "Feck off and sort it yerself! We're feckin' busy making irritating TV & radio adverts. What do you expect from us? Treatment! Ha!"

     

    True dat
