Porting my bass reso

[Zildjian]

My girlfriend bought me a new bass reso for my travel/gig kit for my birthday, An Ebony Ambassador. But I was looking for a Ported reso and this one is un ported. Since I cant take it back because dont want to hurt her feelings, is there a way to port it??

[Vannaroth]

I hear heating up a metal pot and burning through the reso works, but I really have no experience, its just something ive heard.

put something sharp there, instead of a pencil. do it from the inside of it, so you don't screw it up... (if you do - it won't be visable - if you do it from inside, durr) ok that's about it.

trace out a cd using a pencil ~ cut out the circle using sizzors. (rounded tip would be best)

it really doesnt get much simpler.

It does thugsy. Use a stanley knife/scalpel around the cd. Jobs a good 'un

It's impossible man, don't try it.

Thanks guys, I like thugs idea the most..

No, I have this instrument. Cos £2 off Ebay! Its same as a compass. But with blades instead of pencils. Exact sizes. It took me less than 4 mins to do my beginer set. It took 15 for my other kit because I had two and wanted to measure them perfectly.....

What are the red axes all about :lol:

[aznriceball]

Not sure, but they seem to be wielded only by black guys :p

I use Holz for porting any bass drum heads. They not only have the snap on rings, but they have a cutter which can adjust to different sizes. It is really easy. I keep some on hand and sell them to my friends when someone needs them.

Like Peacedrumguy, I ported my bass reso with a Holz ring. If you don't want a ring (I suggest one though, it's good reinforcement), the other ideas here are good too!

Yorkshire pudding tin. I cut around one of those with a stanley knife, worked perfick

[Sagmyr]

I'd definitely go for the Holz, it looks awesome and hides the edges of the hole. Good if you cut it abit uneven.. like me :rolleyes:

[puppet.master]

personally ive used the heated up can through the head works like a hot dammn :lol:


makesure to use oven mits and do it outside

soo rank
