Re: Omni 15 Tallboy - my first build

Dude that's a sweet-looking cab. I've had the same plans for two years or more and have never built it- raising kids and re-habing a historical house, and living on a shoe string makes the Count a dull boy! But I'm going to do it now asap. Been hefting heavy boxes and that's getting old. Your thread...

Re: Hello! Looking to replace a 1200W 810 Bass Rig with BF Setup

Man, I've got the plans for the O15TB, and am planning to build asap, but after looking over the DR and Tuba thing I'm :slap:ing myself! But I'm going ahead anyway. In my world, one cab is, at this point, better than two! But I'm pretty sure I'll be into that DR/Tuba set-up soon enough! Dang...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

Hmmm... might be a good idea to order the Omni 15 and the Tallboy version. I don't know if I'm keeping this tube head (25.5" wide, I think) or not. Selling it and getting a less expensive amp would make the whole thing easier ($$$), but there's that nagging thought at the back of my rumpled hea...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

Well, all I'll say is- nice username, dude! 8) Thanks! :mrgreen: ...in reggae bands they call the bass player by the generic term "Bassie". Funny, on the Ken Smith site I was asked to use my real name in lieu of the above. Not only was it actually policy, but Ken was worried that some of ...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

Wow. That's uneard of! Well, not here I guess... Crazy man, I have to do this- thanks Leland. This is all pretty enlightening: The fact that we 'pro-sumer' bass players are running around comparing power ratings of this and that head/cab combo to fill a room (esp. without PA support) seems to become...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

:shock: Well, we don't want any life-altering disasters, so I guess I'm going to have to get on with building to spec! Thanks guys for the solid ground- and for the colorful rendition of the scenario that will surely result from deviation, bgavin! I'll be sending off for plans here pretty shortly. T...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

...Yes and no. You could configure the cab to power the woofer with one power amp, the mid and tweeter with the other, and it would work very well, probably louder than what you have now. That's a very cool idea. OTOH the recommended Kappalite 3015LF will take a full 450 watts with no mechanical co...

Re: Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

Thanks for the replies Tom, bgavin. Hey bgavin, I noted your name around here, good to hear from you man. My answer is reggae/dub fat, authorative. So it's the O15 then? Fine, I know you've read my drivel before and I think you've got the answer there dude.Thanks much! And I like the switch idea act...

Noob Seeks Advice- Which Cab for Bass?

Sounds like a dumb question maybe, but that's where the info comes from! But, I'm looking at losing (selling) a big rig- a Sunn 300T with 215 cab- and trimming down to a more efficient one. Quick info on my sound, etc.: I'm playing reggae, blues, and sloppy garage-pop; I'm mostly into an old-school,...
