sad indeed, a sign of the "more to do with profet" times, regarding your selmer, years ago i was in a organ based groove band, sugarman 3, jtq, rubin wilson, johnny guitar watson type stuff, the key player had then a selmer leslie till he could get a hammond one, when he did, he gave the selmer to me as the cab by then was just Fu@k&d, so i chopped that to bits to get the same 2 chan selmer valve amp out and the goodmans 15" speaker, i housed the amp in something i built like a fender bassman 135 surround, and the speaker in a matching cab, i then used that for years in a blues groove band, as it had just the right sound, untill i turned it up and the back of the speaker cab would rattle ! (too shallow bad design on my part) but it did a great job for that sound. nice amp that Selmer Treble'n Bass, it was better than my musicman 75 valve bass head i had at the time i thought.

"cd_david The tolex, grill cloth and corners are just the same as fender early 70s. I’ve recovered and regrilled quite a few. I usually get it from SolSound in Watford. Thanks" Thanks for that dave, i will look into that. https://www.solsound.com/ HUMMING Earth Hum ? if you are getting any humming as mine was, first of take out all the sockets and pots and scratch behind to give everything a good grounding, that should be first port of call to cure it, sorted mine out anyway ...see last pic. and some amp pics ya might find helpfull.

reposted from another thred.... sorry if anything below has already been said above. -------------------------------------------------- Here is mine, a 136 1x15 combo 50 year old in september, cool as hell and quite rare in the uk i thought till i seen some on here , you dont see many though about. iv been doing this up for a while now, amp is working fine, i have taken the back covering off as it has shrank a fair bit so have to get that back on, anyone know where to get the tolex cloth ? i have a new set of 4 wheels to go on 2 of them lockable as the old ones were f%&k%d.. and some new corners, it has the very hard to get original speaker in it, a White Altec 421-8H, H meaning it has the upgraded copper coil fitted which also works great i have seen these these going for nearly as much as what the combos worth by its self ! ! ( or was this the original speaker ? ) , the amp is a great design, for example, to change the power transistors these are just screwed to the side and can be pulled out by just unscrewing to two screws, no soldering at all, made for quick changing in the field, its shown here with the speaker out, but will put it back in and get a better pic. Well here is a manual for the 136 with aservice manual as well , very handy as the same amp design went into a few of the range. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1039548/Acoustic-136.html and some upgrade info, says basicly that 2n3055 trannys can be used ? https://music-electronics-forum.com/forum/amplification/guitar-amps/maintenance-troubleshooting-repair/20109-acoustic-136-bass-amp-possesed

what do you do if it goes out of tune ? also there are no strap buttons, and i like strap buttons. great rug though 🙂 id take one for the mancave/studio.

it is indeed, and i can not play a single note for the whole song, but it will be as funky as rain man in psychedelic bell bottoms.... errr ....which is not that funky at all really.....yea...soooo..... eeerr, al get me coat.

that looks like the jobbie for the job, but 9k ? theres not that much money in the whole world at the mo is there ? 🙂 i was thinking something around 2.5k just to satisfy my mingebagness 🙂 there are a few caddys up here for sale for around that, we will see, i dont think you can use these old ones in London now can you ? without getting the charges ?

iv just got rid of my VW T4 van after 15 years, as it needed far too much work and was sick of patching it up, so im looking for something else at mo like a little caddy or something like, in the mean time im squeezing what i can in to a VW golf, its amazing what you can get in that little tardis iv found. 2 x HK actor Bins 2x HK actor tops 1 x SWR red head 1 x bass 1 big box of leads 1 x box of bits, mics, tools, spares, pa junk. 3 x microphone stands 1 x bass bits bag 1 x mackie desk in a flight case. All in a golf 🙂 just stay right outtaa my way if you see me comming toward you with a "no brakes" look on my face 🙂

ped, i think you should add to your decapitated collection and fill the 2 vacant positions, can i suggest 2 very worthy candidates that should go very well with the two you already have. 1, Boris Johnson. 2, Rishi Sunak. if your up for that, al get the wilkinson's freshly stropped and al have a parcel to you by the end of the week 🙂

agreed.... my message to Janek... if you want a wal go and order one like everyone else. and if your getting one just because your chan gets 1m, what happens if it does not ? " im not getting one now because of you lot" ? you cant want one that bad anyway, ( edited... prob abit abrupt) get ya own cash out and get in the que if you want one. simple. sorry...... did that sound like words? just thinking out loud.

well, james brown said "its what you dont play that counts" great ! im off to the pub then 🙂 with your pickup i could stay in there all day and get paid 😍

i knew a girl once that had.... ahhhh .....thats another story 🙂 or a spare "F" key ? ooops here we go again, ... any minute now !

christ, almost as bad as left handed strings 🙂

im not saying do this, but with the info you have submitted and the shop can check on line the the clame is gen, if it was my bass i would walk into the shop, show id leave my name and address with proof and take the bass and walk out, if they try and stop you tell them to ring the police but your not leaving with out the bass, at worst the police would have to take the bass or at least an incedent report will have to be made then at least they wont be able to sell the bass, but i would walk out the shop with it and ask them to call the police if wanted at least its in your possesion then, thats only what i would do, i would not be able to stop myself doing just that being so anoyed !, im not sure of the repercussions of that but i would just not care. loads more bad advice on request 🙂

I was watching it in the pub, but got distracted by a far more rewarding conversation about old man johns collection of pre war mangles, Now ! ! you all think im joking dont you, but nope that really was his conversation, and it was better than watching this, nothing to do with the people on it, all did a fair job, but on the whole it was just all so F%@*&Ng twee, no attitude at all, nothing new, just ... twee twaddle. 😞
