Build a couple of Bill's subs and sell your 1501.

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
Downunderwonder replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
I find it distasteful but not against any rules so can't really speak against it. Perhaps the altruistic could all start high and wait for a bite giving all the opportunity to buy at market value. -
Even the headline is terrifying
Downunderwonder replied to Steve Browning's topic in General Discussion
A dozy thing to do but ordinarily one would not come completely undone picking up a chainsaw by the 'blade' You might slice a couple of fingers on the points when it got away away on you but the blade is stationary until you gun it. I am calling BS on the whole thing. It would be a superhuman effort to grasp the chainbar ahead of the drive motor and lift. Like trying to pick up a bass horizontal from the 3rd fret. There is a front handle for that. One handing the saw while operating and using other hand to muck about with the wood and oops/AAAAAAARRRRGGG!!!!!. That I can buy. -
Wood, aluminium, now an ice upright bass

Every note a blue note. -
I would still exercise caution with the 500W Ampeg and the bass knob. You might not be able to melt them but 250W per driver is still a fair poke in the ribs if it's bass heavy.

Easiest thing to do is cut some bass and treble. Voila mids.

There was a TransitB in the classifieds that would tick all your boxes all by itself.

Uninspiring is a great quality in a DI.
-
Home tone typically lacks the mids that make the mix.

Barefaced use really thin plywood. That only works with a lot of bracing. You could do 10mm plywood with some less fancy bracing and it would be lighter than 12mm with minimal bracing.

I got mine from Parts Express in the US. Any little 12V PSU will do. From memory around 50 GBP.

Doubt it How would that have come about without going before the Magistrate the other day? More likely the case got stayed because someone had the flu. More hopefully the Magistrate baulked at the magnitude of it and kicked it upstairs? What I find odd is you can see a bunch of "first hearings" the previous day all set down for the same 10am time and all rubber stamped as tbc. You would think CPS vs Mason has to have been dropped or charges upgraded for there to have been no hearing at all.

Cabs wired backwards will indeed fart out trying to get any bass out of them.
-
You could possibly make use of your LDS cabs as they sit by adding a high pass filter into your amplifier. And / or, stuff one of the ports to raise the tuning.
-
Bill Fitzmaurice subs are very light, but they chew up pack space. They all make gobs of 60hz for your low B. Nothing makes 30hz in useful amounts.
-
A highpass filter will help you with the big booms and save on stretching cabs into distortion. Next problem becomes overheating which manifests as getting quieter despite turning up, until no sound comes out. Before that happens you need to get the stage volume under control. No way you should be unable to hear yourself properly with a stack of speakers and 700w amp.

Plenty of experience with 1000w and 800w class D. I haven't tried high volume sines as that would be bad for the cabinet. I haven't been in a band trying to blow the doors out since before the revolution. The times I have given a 800w sone beans it didn't seem to be doing anything the Trace couldn't, except lighten the load.
-
A Trace 250w will pump out a sine at 250w without complaint. Your average 500w "RMS" class D will whimper quickly. Full expression of transient peaks from your Trace watts is a wonderful thing.
