Fuck yeah shits good!

Fucking great. Also, I had no idea the drummer was the guy who's playing for Weedeater until right now. I'd love to record him on the kit, so nice to see a drummer that doesn't have all their cymbals right on top of the drum heads.

God damnit that's a good band

^agreed!

what bass is he playing? Body is an RD shape, but it's bolt on?

Vintage SVT.

ah, ok....i'd opt for matching impedances and do the 2x 412's....

It's a custom First Act RD copy bass, I believe it used to belong to somebody rather well known. Christian shared to story somewhere before.

So, I finally started the process of getting a custom bass cab built. We're gonna finalize our ideas by the end of the week. The two ideas I'm throwing around are for a big gnarly 6x12 or two smaller 4x12's to stack. Pros to two smaller 412's is portability and impedance matching. Pros to a 6x12 is less space taking and lower cost, but a big con is impedance mismatching. Either from the speakers to speakers, or total impedance to amp.

I've posted a few times about this in the last few weeks, but now that I started the process I gotta make up my mind. Advice/Suggestions?

With the 6x12 if you can have it made with 3 2x12 compartments internally you can make it work out just fine with the impedance matching. The big thing is wattage, the oddball speakers need to be twice the wattage of the other 4(I.E: 2 8ohm 200w speakers, paired with 4 16ohm 100w speakers). So if you want to use different speakers mixed together it works great, like if you use two sub bass 12's (like the eminence LFC speakers) paired with 4 fuller range speakers (like the em Legends) you can actually have a fuller range cab taking up smaller space. If your looking to make things easy though just go with the dual 4x12's it takes up more space but you'll have even power distribution and impedance.

Looking over specs 4 Emi Beta 12A's (8ohm 250w) combined with 2 Emi Delta 12LFC's (4ohm 500w) would work great as both loads would total 8ohms and 1000w, giving you a total 4ohm 2000w cab. Plus their frequency responses are very similar 43-3.8k and 44-3k, the Beta's would give you punch and more upper mids while the delta would give you immense lows and low mids.

Good advice. Will definitely look into it. Thanks!

No prob! Oh and if you go this route make sure to put the odd balls in the middle for better dispersion.

check for EHX pre amp tubes.

those are icepick to the eyes bright.

so bright, those fuckers make my teeth hurt.

Significantly brighter than Tung Sols? If so, looks like I'll be ordering a set for the Ampeg.

That bass tone is fucking great!

Indeed it is. I'm glad to see Whores. making waves. They are stupid loud, especially to be a three piece. I've seen Weedeater numerous times, and Whores. is the only band I've brought earplugs to. They are flat out cave in your chest loud, but still manage great tone and a solid mix. WIZARDS OF TOANZ.

yah, i'm thinking that might be cool in my 1992...it's a pretty dark amp too.
