Partway through my ownership of my 406 I was given a company car, and no matter how I tried, I couldnt get the 406 in. To my undying shame I had it cut in half, and used it for several years untill I got a bigger car and got it re glued together, As mine had also had a wembley recone and 406 narrows were not that common, I just wondered if it was my old one.

Does it show any signs of it being sawn in half at one stage?

Originally I think they had white domed drivers, with u shaped magnets on the back. I had one of mine repaired by Wembley loudspekers but they couldnt replicate the white dome.

Mine a few years ago before I sold them.

My favorite cabinet of all time. Been looking for one of these on and off for years. Bought one in the 70s with a 450 head. fabulous Nice job to

I had a pedal with my 450 but it was a round metal one. I think it was a twin but the memory is a bit grey.

I felt exactly the same, love em on a p but not on a Jazz I didnt get on with them on a stingray either.

Graham is the only original left and it works. Actually the original live drummer Paul Burgess is still with them.

10cc

They recovered my fender amp and cab and made new grill cloth frames for me a couple of years ago. Did a first class job and good service.

Zilla Cabs would do a great job http://www.zillacabs.com/

I had a quote on a precison body a few years ago and it was £250 on a stripped body

And very nice this is too. Dont turn your back or you might find it disappearing into my Volvo.

Over the years w seem to have gone full circle. When I first got interested in guitar in the early 60s, if you had a decent amp it was probably a 15 watt valve amp such as a Watkins dominator 17W. A Vox AC 30 seemed immensely powerfull, but we followed the fashion. maybe got an AC 30 or went on to a 50w Marshall and a 4x12, [I had a bluesbraker 4x10] later upgrading to 100 and 200 watt amps which as others have said, were difficult to get to overdrive nicely. In the pub and club gigs in my area now, many people seem to be using Fender Blues Juniors or similar, 17 watts and they are loud. My best mate uses a deluxe reverb 22 watts, and he can be uncomfortably loud. Last night I played with a guitarist using a fender princeton reverb, which is 12W, and the drummer complained he was too loud. Go and see what other bands are using in your area, who are playing the venues you play at, and similar styles. Are you micing up? if so you only need enough to hear yourself on stage. If you narrow down the possibilities, can you borrow or hire an amp for a gig. Good luck

And write it as Fender in their adverts

Thanks for letting me know
