I manufacture bass guitar speaker cabinets and sometimes that gives the impression that I'm a bass player. But I'm not.
" Who's you're hero, inspiration? "
One need not be a bass player to be inspired by Geddy Lee.
Duke, Your Bass cabs look solid, nice.
I get stoke from most Bass players, past and present.
From Guitar player turn Bass player Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's to Christian McBride, its all good.
In '64 and JBL's DIY plans I cobbled together two 4530 'Scoops' and drove them using a Fender Deluxe with a modified line output to a Marantz 8B for amplification very loud. Lots of plywood on stages in those years.
These days shop dust collection is everything, over build it. Don't mess around.
Over the years I went through the 360/361, Magnavox SVT, BAG END w/ELF-M sub QSC, Bergantino, Mesa 400+, Tone Tubby, etc. scattered around the house.
Small venue FOH gear came and went, I still have an older Tom Danley horn.
Don't laugh my current rig is an Acoustic Image Focus driving an old 12" drum shell fitted with a BAG END 10" Coaxial and x/over upshot.
Amp and speaker fit in a back pack, my Fiddle leaves me a free hand and just one trip to the car. So I began and ended up using DIY cabs. Life, eh?
In early spring you should tour the full function Masa Boogie operation in Petaluma California on your way up to the valley to pick up a few bottles of Sinskey and Plump Jack. The mustard grass is pop-in that time of year and hardly any tourist.
Make a reservation well in advance for La Ciccia a down to earth family run restaurant in SanFrancisco's Noe Valley. Don't eat all day.
