I built a detuned 4x10 and a 1x12 from Kevin's book. Both have Tone Tubby Alnico's (25W) so have to be careful about volume/clipping. I used the 4x10 once on stage with Bass guitar through an AC-15 clone at low volume - it sounded great - no one complained it sounded weak! If I was building one specifically for Bass (or for loud, distorted guitar tones) I'd use speakers that can handle a lot of power.

Come in where it's warm!
A warm welcome to tube amp modding fans and those interested in hi-fi audio! Readers of Kevin O'Connor's The Ultimate Tone (TUT) book series form a part of our population. Kevin O'Connor is the creator of the popular Power Scaling methodology for amplifiers.
Please remember these three principles: respect, sharing, community.
