My Royal Blood-Esque setup

No it was quite recent. Saw one for sale on Facebook a few months back and looked up the maker - was a small-ish company (I get the impression they are like a smaller "Vintage" type operation). Peaked my interest as I have always liked the look of the B-20 and they dont pop up often and are pricey due to rareity. .

A while ago on Facebook I saw a bass up for sale that was a similair design to a Washburn B-20. Cant for the life of me remember the name of the Maker (did look up their website but like an idiot didnt save a link to it). Have a feeling they were UK based. Dont suppose anyone has any idea who it is that makes them?

Its this one https://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-ultrabass-bb210/923 The horror stories I heard were the cones seperating from the chassis of the speaker. The actual cabinet iteslf is quite sturdy - and heavy (Granted not as heavy as my 4x10 and it takes up less space in the boot!) Will measure it up tomorrow.

Having collected it from a nice guy in Coventry at Black rose Studios (he has a second one going if anyone is interested) it actually doesnt sound too bad. I have heard horror storys about the drivers in these literally coming apart!

I've managed to pick up a cheap 2x10 Cab that I am intending to use for rehersals as it is more portable than my 4x10. Its (I know... I know...) a Behringer Ultrabass BB210. Supposedly its a 600w Cab... I have read terrible things about the 10" drivers in them so I am looking to replace them sharpish with something more "fit for purpose". Going to be running my Terror Bass 500 through it. can anyone suggest some reasonably priced 10" Speakers - Im guessing I will be looking at 250+ Watts and 16 ohms each ( Cab is nominally 8 ohm) . Never needed to replace speakers so I wouldnt know where to start. I obviously dont want gold standard platinum coated speakers, just something reasonable that isnt going to disintegrate!

I stopped playing for 10 years. I am almost at that point again.

It makes me feel like Im lost at sea - Cold and wishing for a swift death.

Going by the finish and layout this looks like a Marlin body. If that helps anyone.

They are quite good - If its anything like my Vintage SG Clone. All Wilkinson Hardware and pickups (mines mahogany bodied set mahogany neck - guess this is the same?).

Why. Just WHY?

Could have been stolen?

Because its easier to sell a chinese £60 P or J for £200 by claiming its a Greco than trying to pass one off as a £1k fender.

Are those chambered? Friend has a nice Warwick proto type and that is semi hollow? That 4.6 kg is a solid 10lbs so 14lbs isnt too outrageous even if its a larger body (the Jazz's are quite sizeable, think mine was 12lb from memory)

Maples a fairly dense wood (Guess thats why they use it for necks). The weight of thge thing was the only reason I parted company with that VM Jazz.
