New bass cabinet day (NBCD) for Woks (and fretless bass)

howdy, saw this Hartke 15 " speaker bass cabinet (on the bottom) for $100 on Perth Bass players FB page, wow I got the full sound now. I have to apologise to my neighbours for the noise I'll be making ahha

He has replaced the speaker with a 250 watt Peavey speaker and it sounds clear and solid

off to get an unshielded speaker cable for it and I'll give it a good crank. Used a guitar lead to try it out and the windows were shaking on volume 1 haha

does any bass amp experts know whether I should run each cabinet from the 2 amp outputs or piggy back and run and extension from one cabinet to the other ? First time I've powered two cabs from one amp. Cheers

Bonus I also picked up the fretless bass for $100 in the photo

Score!!!!!
Either way you described is in parallel. As long as the Amp will run to the impedance. If they are both 8ohm cabs your amp needs to be able to run down to at least 4. If they are 4 ohms your amp needs yo be able to run down to 2ohms. If you go under the amps rated impedance you risk cooking the outputs.
I would check the Impedence on the Speaker inside the enclosure, since it's been changed out it may differ from the label on the box.

Result Woks! I'll send your neighbours some ear plugs 😀

Got to be happy with that!!

I think that test run registered on the seismic warning system ;)

Oh great score, i feel sorry for your neighbours

cheers guys. I'll have a play later when it cools down, currently a warm 36 degrees here.

I might have to leave some earplugs in the neighbours house closest to the amp !

Should be cool enough about 1130 tonight..... :cool:


BTW, back in my Day, NBCD stood for Nuclear Biological & Chemical Defence.......

Nice work dude

cheers Andy, can't believe no one else bought it before me. Almost cool enough for a quick slap session.

@ Hoby think 11:30pm may be a bit late haha

Hey Woks, that is some heavy duty rig you have assembled. Good score with the fretless too. Is it a known or reputable brand and how does it sound?

Hey Waz, its some cheapo chinese bass I guess. headstock was blank and chipped. it's got a Casino sticker so not sure if that's a brand. Fretless conversion is a bit rough plenty of fret tear out. Body is pretty light so easy to play. Sounds pretty good. If I get sick of the colour might strip it and paint another colour

Jeez Woks turn it down they can hear it in the Phillipines buddy lol.

Cheers Woks. Not hard to end up with tear outs when removing frets as I discovered when doing mine. Looks like it should keep you amused for a while.
