David it is a tube amp I hooked it up last night all in a series and it was a little weak not the punch of the two 8ohm 8inch speakers that it has now. I'll hook it up as a series and a parallel tonight and see how it likes just 8ohms. thanks for all your advice and I;ll post the results.

David what would be best for the amp running on 8 (1/2) power or 32 twice the amount of the 16ohms on the spec sheet?
thanks

The amp wants 16ohm load the two eight wired in a series would give me 16 then if it would be possible to wire the 15 inch 16ohms in a parallel would that give me 8 or 16 ohms?

That really looks nice your pohos state that you were going to go in to biz building speaker cabs for bass. The inpedance of my three speakers will be 2 8ohm and one 16 ohm. I was planing on wiring the two 8 up in a series to give me 16ohms how would or can I hook the 15 inch 16ohm up to maintain 16...

The two eights are coming out of a Crate 20 amp the amp has a great presence and projection with the two eights. They are Jensen’s 8ohm Mods. The 15 is a blue Marvel out of a Peavey blues amp it is 16ohm I will be wiring up the speakers to make 16ohm over all. Bill thank you for your input I'll take...

Bill so you are suggestion to isolate the eights I can leave the 15 open in back so as not to over power the eights? Teh amp and speaker cabinet will be made out of mfd board with a wood veneer over that. The reason for the 15 inch is I'm building a 12 string lap with the lower 4 being actual bass s...

Hello all, I'm going to put a amp together and need advice on spacing the speakers. There will be three speakers one 15 inch and two 8 inch speakers. I'd like to put the 15 on the bottom and the two eights up above it kinda like in the eyes position. So my basic questions are how much space below th...

I wanted to update all of you or is it you all who have read this thread and saw what I had stated about the Janglebox. Let me begin by saying that the Janglebox is very well built very quite and great for what it does, but it just did not do what I wanted for a lap guitar. So I picked up one of my ...

Got the Janglebox last night had some problems with it, by that I mean it is particular with cables and guitars. I was using a 37 national with the amphoral plug and it did not like it along with some cheap older guitar cables. Got a lot of noise buzz hiss you name it. So tonight I hooked up the Bro...

Should have the box next week will do some comparisons and let everyone know my opinion. The laps I will be using are vintage since I have not finished my 12 string with a humbucker wired to a five way switch. Ultimatly I'm hoping for that early Beatles jangle so to say. Like on ticket to ride. I kn...

Has anyone here use this compressor EQ on a lap steel? If so what did you think about it?

I had seen that where it was on a pedal steel. I'm thinking of picking up a keyboard gel pad and incoarperating it into the lap. thanks

I'm looking for three telescopic legs and the sockets they screw into for a new lap I'm building. I prefer new but would take used is not all scratched up.
Thanks

Thanks all, this seems to of been a laze habit that I've gotten into. I won't put a cover over the stings on this one and break this habit. thanks again all.

Butamus! Tom is a great guy I have been putting together a 12 string bass lap and have asked Tom numerous question and he has alway come through with an answer. There is a special place in heaven with a chair with his name on it in the Holy Rollers all Saint band. I even think that David is in the b...

I am building a new lap and have a question. I have a couple of Rickenbackers a national a biscuit bridge dorbro each of them have a either a stinge cover or magnets that one can rest their right hand on while picking. And I use them to rest my hand on which I like to do. Is this a henderance to pla...

Are you just wanting to write the tabs to file or actually transpose them? If your wanting to transpose them automatically you may want to try G7 it's less than 100 bucks.

That thing reminds me of a corncob harmonica. By that I mean they make a harmonica that has I think six different harmonicas of different keys. It has what looks like those dohickies on the ends that you put on the ends of a ear of corn to hold on to. You can spin it around to different keys without...

I KNOW IT WAS NOT THE HOBBITS!!! THEY ARE MUCH TO SENSIBLE FOR THIS NONSENCE!

Way cool Jim, like to see ya from the 60's in your band outfit. May be we could start a thread of show us your high school pictures. I of course would be exempt since I drooped out in the tenth grade and eventually got my GED three months before my class graduated. Now if you go back to grade school...

Jim is that a eight or twelve stringer you got there, what do ya got her tuna to? That quote is off a old Hot Tuna Album that originally said you can tuna a piano but you can't tuna fish!! Into Supros? Got an old brown and white 5 watter that kicks butt three tuber 6sl7 6v6 and 5y3, has a nice growl...

I'm in the process of building basslap guitar 12 string. I'm planing on having 4 bass strings and then 8 regular strings above that. I'm looking at open g,d and c6 for the tunings. I have found information on the string gauges for the lap side but do not know the bass progression from the lowest lap...
