Re: Traded one of my P basses
Flame maple is just a veneer, not thick enough to affect tone at all. The plunky sound is due to the basswood or mahogany body it is made with. That is true, but a set of strings really did make a difference. I think the ones on it were the original and were dead as hell. It's a mahogany body. I'm ...

Re: Building a speaker cabinet
Eminence gets a bad rap but IMO they work great for tube amps, are cheaper than Chinese celestions, and are made in America. If you are playing just brutal stuff, I suggest the governors. You should contact emperor cabs about getting one empty because I would not recommend building a cab unless you...

Re: Building a speaker cabinet
not sure, I thought I had read recently that Peavey started reissuing them again (models 1203-4 or 1203-8, for instrument applications)...Eminence speakers, to my experience, sound better with solid state amps, while Celestions and Peaveys usually are engineered for tube heads...the good thing about...

Re: Building a speaker cabinet
get Peavey Black Widows, if you can find them, really punchy, with a lot of presence, no sludge at all, but don't oversize the cabinets, I think the larger Mesa cabinets don't sound all that great...porous frame (sides, top, back) woods absorb too much of the lower frequencies, so if you can build t...
