    And I still cant quite believe I still own this little crocstar.. having lost basses and amps and tons of other shite over the 43 years i have been playing.. played my mates 73 jazz through it last night, 1st time I lit it up since at least 2002, and before that I think the last person to use it was guitar legend Link Wray when we were recording his “Shadow Man” album. Life is weird, no doubt.

    not my amp, thats for illustration,,, mine has original fabric on thr front ;-)

    ok.. well I actually won it on the bay today... so will pick it up and hear what it is like.

    It is going to have a selmer T&B 50 sat on top and once thats back from the electrical refurb so lowish volumes.. and tbf the cab didn't cost much  so if it a ringer, I will move it on to some happy guitarist and maybe build my own bass cab.

    once assembled, will report back 🙂

    Any one stuck a bass through this cab and have an opinion?

    Seems like it's primarily a guitar/keyboard thing, but I used a Fender Twin for a recording session last year and it sounded pretty decent.

    I have a 50w valve head and wondered if it would be beasty enough for a bass if I sort out the wadding?

     

    NBD: It's very thin.

    remembered the wild feedback!

    Noice Flame!  have a battered old 63 VT & they are a joy to play. Enjoy. +1 for flats for "that" 60's thomp, and given the right, or wrong situation depending, you can achieve some wild feedback with these things 🙂

    "I hated that effing Columbus.. but the selmer bass twin in Croc skin I would like back now please. thank you"

    And in an incredible twist of fate, my original Crocbeast has been found!!

    Brought by my dad in ~1976 at a school auction in Knebworth for £5 earth pounds and allegedly donated by Henry Cobbold of Knebworth Festival fame, and moreover, left behind after their stint at Kfest with a bunch of other stinky poo by none other than The Pink Floyd in 1975... The Amp was rediscovered buried in a mates loft this year..

    How it got there, why it was there, no one can remember.  It is at the menders right now, as my mate rightly said when I went all teary eyed, "nope; you will just plug it in and kill yourself, I am going to get it checked out 1st"

    Now I am looking for a suitable cab to plop under her as the massive chipboard 1x18 blobjob my dad made me having been long turned to weetabix... will post pics when I have my grubby mitts on her again.

    Truly awful “bass player” who does not want to join your band

    Cant spell for toffee

    Over used Second or maybe thirdhand super old school bass playing bass player with a lazy laissez-faire major lack of commitment attitude. might even turn up with a guitar just to annoy.

    Depending on the epically stinky financial situation may or may not have own gear. may or may not have own car.

    absolutely arrogant posturing self-important bass burke who solos ALL the time. can’t read the dots and plays straight from the cockparts only.

    might consider doing something truly bad if maybe you are a hip-hop surf punk P Funk outfit other than that… thanks 😎
