A sound idea: My stay at home desktop tiny bass rig

IKEA ENEBY sounds better than expected.

Now with the Covid-19 everybody stay at home thing I annoyed my loved ones and neighbours frequently with my bass practice.

To avoid this I needed a desk top configuration with a few conditions:

1. Has to fit on my desk (duh)

2. Has to sound GOOD

3. Has to sound good at low volume

I noticed that my IKEA ENEBY 30 powered bluetooth speaker has a really good bass rendition.

So, as I know it also has a mini jack entrance, I thought I try hooking it up with a pre-amp and equalizer and give it a go.

WOW! This set up sounds soooooo good that I’m not going back to using a genuine bass amp for practice in my apartment.

Materials:

IKEA ENEBY bluetooth speaker

IKEA ENEBY bluetooth speaker | Buy on IKEA.com

Other materials and tools:

Art Tubepac tube pre-amp/compressor
Ampeg Analogue Bass preamp

All you need to do is hook up pre-amp to Eneby 30.

Hook bass to preamp, turn devices on and play.

It sounds soooooo good!

I can imagine it being very usable for guitar and keyboard too.

OK. I understand this basically is not a real ‘hack’. It just is an IKEA ENEBY 30 powered speaker hooked up to some other stuff. But, as I am so enthusiastic about it and there might be a lot of bass and /or guitar players out there who could benefit from this, I thought I’d share.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
