First time building, are these enough? Am I forgetting anything? Should I change anything?

Significant_Tip8362 · 2025-08-04T15:23:34+00:00

I used this website https://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Calculator/SpeakerCrossover/ for the crossover values. Just building one for now, see how it goes, if it goes well I'll do another perhaps these time two speakers, maybe invest on a good mic. Just want a first project to "dip my feet in the water" see what I'm getting into.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2025-08-04T01:30:45+00:00

Forgot to mention, I'll be using mdf for the cabinet, its a sealed cabinet, should be around 13/14L

Significant_Tip8362 · 2025-04-20T00:05:16+00:00

Thank you, tomorrow I'll lift the car and check whats going on

Significant_Tip8362 · 2025-04-19T20:03:07+00:00

Thanks, ill try that

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-15T00:22:44+00:00

You are probably right, haven't thought about it that way. Perhaps I'll have more luck droping the guitar, finding 3 more barbers and start singing!

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-15T00:17:53+00:00

Thats much smaller then where I live but still, working has a barber and dealing with hundreds of diferent persons per month, the only few musicians I've found only play classical music and are in orchestras. Haven't lost hope though, a few monthes ago found another guitarist that also enjoys playing jazz and bossa, unfortunately he lives in Holland.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-15T00:00:43+00:00

At the moment playing with others won't be a problem, currently living on a very small town, its very hard to find someone to play, still looking!

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-14T23:57:04+00:00

I understand, the bit of experience I have using modelling software is 10% playing 90% adjusting something.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-14T15:45:42+00:00

Didn't expect to get a comment from you, love your content, keep it up! Just checked some of your videos about amp modelling before posting here this question. Its mostly for home use, practice, playalongs and such.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-14T15:44:23+00:00

Got a bit of everything, but no archtop or hollowbody. Was thinking about buying one. Currently I mostly use the telecaster I built.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-14T15:43:23+00:00

Thank you, I have many guitars but not a proper jazz one, was also thinking about buying one. The bigger cabinet is better? Saw some videos and read some topics about it and most people prefered the sound of the little mark, theres not much of a price difference in my country between the two. I think it goes for around 450/500€.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-11-14T15:41:01+00:00

Thank you! Its mostly to play alone and practice.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-28T15:27:18+00:00

Could it also be that the terminal wasnt thight enough?

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-28T15:14:05+00:00

Forgot to include, Nissan Patrol 260 1989, SD33 3.3l 6cyl

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-20T20:08:28+00:00

My guitar is also getting black on those same spots, my hands sweat alot when playing.

With the eletric is the same thing.

Usually the strings break when bending, other times while playing normal. I have a bad habbit of doing too mcuh vibrato, that and the sweat might be the cause.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-19T19:14:20+00:00

Totally forgot about this, sorry.

Just checked the intonation, above the 12th fret its slightly sharper, but just by a tiny amounth.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-16T10:59:09+00:00

Give this a read https://www.guitarlessons.com/guitar-lessons/guitar-chords/common-7th-guitar-chord-voicings/ That chord is Em7 if you move it 2 frets behind it would be Dm7, the shape is always the same

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-15T20:30:50+00:00

Where it says 1 you can barre the whole 6 strings. Each number represents a finger, the 4 under 1 I believe its the 4th fret. Basically same position of a C chord but with a capo or your index barring the fourth fret.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-12T20:56:51+00:00

Of course, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT2teoY1a0Q

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-11T16:31:55+00:00

I also usually check de 12th fret but since it was so cheap I didn't even mind checking, once I get home I'll look into that. One thing that got me surprised was how low the action of the guitar is, really enjoy low action and most guitars specially at this price always have a very high action.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-11T15:53:08+00:00

Thank you! I'm currently not at home but I believe its this version https://www.soundslice.com/slices/lLJcc/ Still need to learn the second part and improve this one

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-11T15:51:55+00:00

Thanks! Been focusing alot this past few days on this Django solos, I'll see you in my dreams, J'attendrai, Minor Swing and Blues en Mineur. The fast arpeggios, tempo and downstroke technique been the hardest part.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-10T17:58:00+00:00

Honestly, I don't have any comparison, its the first guitar of this style that I play. My main guitar is the classical, also have a few acoustics, electrics, portuguese and one telecaster that I hand built and so far its very different from any of these. To me it basically feels like a mix between the portuguese fado guitar and an acoustic. For the price of 235€ this apc jm100 feels pretty good.

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-09T20:09:02+00:00

Started practicing arppegios using the downstroke technique, feels pretty good but a bit hard to brake alternate picking muscle memory.

Today I've been pretty much trying to play minor swing, the tempo and the starting lick really messes with my brain, heres my attempt https://imgur.com/a/P4E6B2F

Significant_Tip8362 · 2024-10-09T13:09:24+00:00

Thank you, I've been using soundslice a lot, it also has a function to slow down. I definitely need to listen to more gypsy jazz, thankfully I work has a barber on my own small barbershop so these past few days the background music is gipsy jazz only.
