Hello,I've not been on here for ages so I hope your all keeping well. I need some advice if thats ok.I've just joined a new band,our style is progressive metal and my tuning is B F sharp B E. I'm looking around for a new set of strings that are of a heavy gauge i'e the first b is a 135,which is fine but I want a set that doesn't sound bright at all so I keep that dirty low sound of which I havent found yet?anyone know where or what make to look for? Thanks in advance for any info

[quote name='Dubs' post='857363' date='Jun 4 2010, 03:25 PM']Just wondering, is 12mm ply thick/ridgid enough to build a square cab with an internal volume of about 1.3 cu.ft without any bracing? ...or will I have to use 18mm? Just trying to keep the weight down as much as possible for a small 10" practise cab that I'm about to start building.[/quote] hello mate its always 18mm although i dont use it anymore in my trade for health and safety reasons mdf is good for making boxes.but which ever material you use make sure you glue every joint until it seeps out and once you've built it go round all the internal joins with more glue and wipe your finger over it to get it right in there (a bit messy but its washes off) and then your have a really tight and strong box.i'm a carpenter and i make stuff like this all the time so i dont think your need a brace to be honest.not sure if your handy with a router if so you can run round all the external corners and the sub hole with one to finish it off and give it that neat rounded look through the material

[quote name='Alien' post='861690' date='Jun 9 2010, 12:17 AM']If it still smells once it's dried out, stand the cab on its back and sprinkle a good layer of bicarbonate of soda onto the cone. Leave it there overnight (or longer if you can) then suck it up with a vacuum cleaner. Should take the smell with it. If the cab's carpeted, try Febreze, but don't get any on the cones. A[/quote] thanks for that i'll give it'll go as its still there not as strong as before.on a brighter note while i was in speaker mode yesterday i stripped out my little practice amp that kicks around the front room and ive built it into the bottom of my tv/bookcase/wood store unit i built out of mdf with teak worktop i built a while ago to keep the misses happy so now it houses the modified combi tucked away behind its own door

hello ok here's my problem ive got a trace 1048 with 75w celestions in it,now this might sound wierd but please keep reading.we have a cat and have been having problems with a tom cat even though i've changed the cat flap to an infa red one.he came in last night and sprayed up my cab !!!!! and i can see it on the dust cover of the speaker and it smells bad.im letting it dry out but i dont want to use if its going to be pushing smells out??im pretty sure there's nothing i can clean it with as i'll damage the cone around it.what can i do?i have looked around for a new speaker but if i change one i'll all and its not the cheapest.if i was to replace all four is there any recomendations out there any help is much appreciated curtis

hello people the drummer and i made up a make shift rig last week with a mini disc recorder and and mic.i was a bit unsure how well it would record but after moving the mic around a bit it recorded pretty well the only thing is neither of us know how to transfer mini disc to the laptop so we can put it on a usb stick or even if ts possible?or is there another way which is straight forward like the mini disc set up?but easier to transfer to a laptop? sorry in advance if this question has already been asked somewhere in here and thanks for any help dudes

dude second i read the first post i put joy division on "love will tear us apart" learnt souixsie and the banches spellbound and ac dc riff raff ready for rehearsal

hello mate im a carpenter and i've built loads of stuff like this before,if you've got common sense your be fine dude once you've worked out your air space building it is easy.couple of things regarding construction.regardless of material make sure you glue every loint (with a good cold wood glue)so when you screw it together you see it squeeze out counter sink all screws.also sharp edges will break out over a short time of use routing them to give them a nice half bull nose shape is easy with a 1/4 inch router as the bit you use has a roller so it guides its self also yoou can run it round your port holes to finish the look.if you havent got this or not feeling that confident ie cutting your fingers off you could also do it with a smooting plane a sharp one !!remember measure twice cut once. any ofther help you need regarding the construction side of things pm me dude always here to help

hello geezer
