Just traded my 1994 Musicman Stingray for Colins Ampeg B500DR Programmable Bass Head and Phil Jones Briefcase. Top class bloke to deal with, real easy transaction, we met half way for the trade, no messin around, bang on time. I would recommend using Colin to anyone, just see the previous positive reports!!!

Thanks for the quick response guys, the cab has a mixture of series & parallel wiring, so i think (fingers crossed) that the missing speakers are the reason for no sound. That's a great trick with the 9v battery, I'll check it out at the weekend. Hopefully the existing 4 speakers are ok, so I'll only have to order the 4 new ones... Thanks again Drew

Hi, I just picked up a discontinued American Ampeg SVT 806HE bass cabinet (rated at 4 Ohms), unfortunately 4 of the 8 original 8 Ohm speakers (SLM Electronics) are blown and missing. I've tracked down some replacement Eminence Speakers (Alpha). All of the existing cabling is intact within the cab, complete with the positve/ negative lugs to connect to the speakers. However, I decided to connect my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 to the cab tonight to check to see if the remaining 4 original speakers are working, but got no sound out of the cab at all, is this because of the open circuitry from the missing speakers? I plan to order the replacement speakers this week.... Any help is appreciated. Cheers Drew

Hi, I play an Azola Lightning Bug, it's a fantastic sounding EUB ( I also play UB, and can honestly say the sound of the Azola EUB is very, very close to the real deal), On a plus note (pardon the pun!) Steve & Jill Azola are absolutely brill to deal with!!!
