Yeah buying something that big from the UK and importing it to the continent is no longer viable since Brexit took full effect I’ve already taken the HB40 apart to see what the construction is like, and i could quite easily swap out the speaker and test its performance in a reversible way. I also read up on the theory behind cabinet building, checked the specs of the speaker and on paper it should at least ‘work’. Though that doesn’t guarantee that it’ll sound amazing of course. The cabinet is about 34L in volume, so with the speaker installed i should end up pretty close to the 30L mark. It’s a relatively cheap and easy experiment so i think i’ll just give it a go. If the sound isn’t an improvement at all, i’ll just reverse the process. At least i can then say that I tried.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your response. Could you elaborate on why this could lead to damage?

Hi there. I currently own a Harley Benton HB-40B combo https://www.thomann.de/nl/harley_benton_hb_40b.htm And recently acquired a Markbass Little Mark 250 Blackline: https://www.thomann.de/nl/markbass_little_mark_250_black_line.htm I rather like the idea of maintaining the small combo form factor, so I'm thinking about building the Mark Bass head into the HB40. I've done some measuring and came to the conclusion that I can build the Markbass head into the combo quite easily. So now I'm just looking for a replacement speaker. Can anyone here help me figure out what to look for? Would this be a good option for example? https://www.thomann.de/nl/eminence_legend_bp1024.htm Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

Hi there! My name is Jan. I’m from the Netherlands originally but live in Germany since a few years. I grew up learning to ply the keys, but about 4 years ago i got hold of a cheap Harley Benton acoustic bass and I was instantly hooked! After a few months I bought a Marcus Miller V3 and a HB40B amp and started practising daily. Keyboards are still my main instrument, but my bass chops have gotten good enough to support my music productions, which was the main goal. The acoustic bass and the Marcus Miller have made room for the following: Fender Player series Jazz bass, with Hi mass bridge, CTS pots and Mojotine pickups Squier Classic Vibe p-bass with mexican fender electronics and pickups and a hi mass bridge Harley Benton OP-PJ55 5-string PJ bass for those annoying lower-than-E situations.
