4 Strings Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 For those that remember this little journey, I've used that little cab with its tweeter rather than a port for a while, now. Just for fun - and coz I was after a more soulful bass sound - I swapped it back to being a port. Now I've got used to the 'sealed' sound I can detect changes. It sounds great, for the deeper notes anyway. Rather impressive low end. The comments about rumble from hand movements on the strings etc are true and I have to avoid that (good for technique anyway) or the speaker waves around. I lift the bottom end a bit on the amp, as before, due to the cab size and I get a lovely, rich tone. Its not a loud rehearsal so I have yet to push it to its max but its good I haven't needed to. Just wanted to say that the difference in sound is marked and I now prefer the deeper, ported sound for what I need. Definitely punchier when sealed, can't conclude if one is louder or not. Thought it might be interesting to some. Would still like to play with other holes and tubes, maybe one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Good to hear you are getting the sounds you want, I hope we helped a little. Careful about fiddling with vents though, it can get addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
