Hi Colin, Will PM you. Mike

Not really qualified to answer that, haven't used a 4 x 10 for Donkeys years. My guess is, would largely depend on the quality of the drivers fitted to the cabs . Best drum sound we got playing outdoors was when we used a pair of Acoustic 301 replica's ( think Jaco ) to boost the PA sound. Those Cerwin Vega 18" speakers are just something else !

South Coast, West Sussex, Apologies, that info seems to have got lost when I posted the pics !

I did read somewhere that Jaco used one of these, later in his career ( or did I dream that, I do have vivid dreams when it's hot !) Maybe someone could confirm .

Best Way I could describe it, on the last outdoor gig I did with it is "Good, full, old school sound, with extra zing ", I was using it with my Aguilar DB750, no shirker in it's own right, you understand.

Collection possible from either of the upcoming Basschat events in Taunton or South London

Anyone know why my thumbnail does show on listing header. What am I doing wrong ?

anyone know why my pic isn't shown on the title listing ?

My very nice, well kept, , red , Phil Jones briefcase now for sale . Has a recently fitted internal battery, charging lead, mains lead and manual. all housed in the Special Wheeled, trolley type case the Phil Jones supplied for these amps. Can also be run from a car battery, although I've never needed to do that. At practice volumes, with acoustic guitarists, it's lasted me all evening, but not if you push the volume ( these weren't intended for loud rock bands ). I did take pics, and when I can find them, I'll add to the listing. £360, collected from West Sussex.

Don't know where those FBT pics came from, now't to do with me !

Selling my Takamine Acoustic bass as, for acoustic work, I prefer my old 60's Rivoli . Bass almost as new condition, fitted new set of black nylon covered bass strings. Good quality, solidly built, fitted case has signs of use ( more like , storage, I'd say ). Looks like the previous owner never played it, just kept under the bed, maybe. £295, collected from West Sussex,

So now, Some late 60's, early 70's Ampeg 2 x 15 cabs. First is my V6 cab. Ampeg built these cabs to go with their new, at the time , V6 transistor amp. Fortunately, they'd learnt from their mistake with the previous V4 bass cab ( it was a monster ) and they seemed to have looked at the Sunn 2 x 15, better designed cab for inspiration. However, despite building a lighter, neater bass cab, they then went and covered it in RAT FUR ! Needless to say, was not pretty after all this time, so I removed it, and had the cab sprayed with black 2 pack truck liner. Looks really smart now, and the cats leave it alone. I gigged it with 2 baselites , but I'll put the two cast H&H speakers back in it that I bought it with, still not too heavy. 8 ohm. Not best used in pub gigs, but if you ever have outdoor gigs, this is the (inexpensive ) way to go.( now has a new owner ) Next, I have my two 2 x 15, B25 cabs , built to match the B15's bigger brother, the B25. These are quite wide, but shallow, cabs, as was the fashion then, prob late 60's. I think both still have the original CTS speakers, but I'll need to check. OK, first one I checked has a pair of the HH cast speakers, same as the V6 cab above, but 16 ohm. Other cab has original speakers, is 8 ohm. both are black, still original, tolex, in fair condition for their age. One has speakers fitted from front, other one requires removal of rear panel. Original grills are quite presentable. Gonna try them with my B15 , see how they sound. Will get pics tomoz, took me all day to dig them out ! Asking £199 each for a piece of Ampeg History. V6 cab pics.

Thanks, Yes, Spyder 550 !

Nice, unrestored, original Framus Star bass, twin pickup model. Has had neck reset by Luthier, so good to go. Overall condition is very nice, especially considering its age. Pickups, electrics fine. Will get it out tonight, post some pics. £450 located in west sussex. Not willing to post, but the Basschat interdelivery system may be able to help, depending on where you are .

Have now found more white trim, to help finish off the front.
