Yo Bro's we all have funny little things we do to help with our pursuite of the Harmonica, cleaning tips, custom tips for modding harps, storage of gear so Bro's share your Tech tips Here we can all make our life a little easyer:)
2 of my Tech tips,
cables i got a guitarist in the House cables
all over the Barkin jam room,
so what we do is roll our leads up as per norm
then pop them on a coat hanger in the cuboard:)
I been experimenting with with speaker combo's
i got some 2 x 8"and 2 x 10" vintage Magnavox speakers
2 sets of Matched 8's 1 set of 10's,
so i need to make 4 sets of boxes 2-2x8 1-2x10
1-8x10 buying the timber to build these boxes is going to cost me about 80 Bucks for some pine wood,
i won't use all the finished boxes,so i got to thinking
just standing there in the shed with my speakers,
Kar ?ken Pow Batman!!!
there it was right in front of me the massive cardoard box my new Spin bike came in, it's 5 mill thick i got to cutting
used 2 bits of 19 mill thick Pine for the top and bottom of the box, used the carboard for the sides double thinkness hot glued together then braced the inside of the box with carboard stiffened it right up,
cut the holes for the speakers hot clued some small chunks of pine under the screw holes for the srews to bit into, Hay presto instant Speaker extension cab all in about 40 mins,
iv'e tested 1 set of 2x8's there going in my FBJ
and just sliped the other 8's in the same box,
and gave them a blast last night with my HG2
pissed all over the single weber 8 so i will work out what i want to do with them maybe build a new cab or see about ordering DB cab,
so next im Building a carboard box for the 10's might even give you some pics:)

Yo Bro's come on i know ya got some fancy tech tips give em up:)
Here's another one for Bro's in colder climates,
it's winter time Down in OZ man touching harps is like grabbibg ice blocks with ya lips:(
and chances of stuffing a Harp being cold is very high
so to warm my Harps up and prevent damage from playing cold,
i have a samll sack of wheat the size of my Harp case
i bung it in the Microwave for 3 minutes,
then sit my closed case on the wheat bag 5 mins befor i play my harps,
there ready to wail strait away and i don't tear my lips of:)
