Title: Bass station
Post by: the3secondrule on February 14, 2015, 12:15:26 PM
My first build report for a while, this one has been a long time coming.
There's been a fairly consistent bunch of drives on my bass board for a while now and I'd been keen to put together a multi.
I was a little hesitant to put things in a fixed order as I'm always changing the order of drives on my board, and then I remembered I had one of Thomas H's Ultimate switch boards - relay switching, radio button style. Engaging one drive disables the one currently in use. I don't tend to stack my drives for bass, so no problem.

I give you the Bass-Station
Big Muff (civil war) > Roger Mayer Voodoo Bass > Kingslayer
Powercoated blue hammer enclosure from PPP

And guts. Not my neatest. I've been having trouble sleeping, so I dropped a sedative, then in a haze decided to wire the beast up. Not my smartest decision ever  ::) woke up in the morning and only half was working so I tore it down and totally rewired it - pretty happy with it now

Not yet - i'm planning another 2-in-1 for my bass board - Madbean Kraken and either Afterlife or Jubal's DOD 280 comp.
Need to order another enclosure for that one though not sure if I want to go 1590BB or 1790 yet...

That hammertone looks great and I love the box layout with the relays. Awesome job man.

Cheers guys - pretty happy with how this one turned out in the end :D
I do love the PPP hammertone finishes

Jimi, I'm playing a couple of squire P Bass'. a classic vibes 60's in sonic blue, and vintage modified in maple amber. upgraded Pups and wiring in both (dimarzio model P in the classic vibes, and SD Quarter Pounder in the VM)

I bet those PuPs drive the hell out of that thing then. Those are my favs so far. I have a couple of basses the the Ps and one with the quarter pounders.
