yeah, I have noticed that
but theres no turning back now
fortunatly only give problems in a few certain 'settings'
the added air and 'string sounds' it gives results in a very pleasing sound
funny tho that it only happens when I set the Palmer pre at 'straight'
but man, this thing really rocks at hard overdrive
and the really good thing is, I dont get hearing problems
it was close to stopping me at some point, with different gear
with this I can play forever without any kind of probelms
Im exstremely happy about that
to quit would really give me a depression
but seems I have no problems now
a bit strange really
I hope the Aikido will be a nice bonus
and hopefully also low noise
Mine works great for bass instruments, including my ancient Travis Bean fretless. I went with 6SN7s and it is very, very quiet.
Very nice work you're doing there, albeit very different from my preferred configurations.
yes
and because of the curved front, it needs the same special care
my arms are getting tired
pics of the midrange round to angular conversion throat
seems I was lucky once again

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!
Here's my much simpler, less elegant stab at a 3-way system with horn loaded compression driver and mids:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Brief overview:
2 X BMS15N630, 3.4cu ft/cab
1 X 18Sound 6ND410, on JBL waveguide
1 X BMS 4540ND, on Pyle waveguide
Bi/triamping via Rane RPM26z speaker management system or MiniDSP 2 X 4 balanced if using both woofers
Passive 3-way crossover built into top box for use with one 15
SpeakerPower SP1-1000 (Ice Power ASP1000 w/onboard DSP) amp
Variety of DIY preamps; latest is 1-6SL7, 2 X 6SN7, Aikido output section
I mostly play electric upright bass, but this all works OK with my fretless bass guitars as well.
It's quite good but perhaps the signal/noise could be just a little better in some situations, although in a live mix that would be moot I guess. I am really picky about that though! I think the newer model (Open DRC) might well be an even better choice if you can afford it and if the expected analog I/O version comes to pass.
I bought my MiniDSP just before they came out with their cased version. Here's mine, not including the separate power supply:
I guess so
looks quite a bit smaller in black, and more 'discrete'
besides, I will probably have to use filler
