I'm baffled by the presence of two copies of Dickie Bird's autobiography (one paperback, one hardback). Is one of them signed or something?

parker_muse Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Indeed, i got two for christmas, the hardback one is signed by dickie himself. My grandad played cricket for essex through the late 60's and into the 70's and has many connections in the cricketing world - he was a good friend of Shep's.

parker_muse Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Also, apart from the cricket/Jason Robinson autobiography and Lolita i've not read any of those books for years, i have another bookshelf with the adult stuff on it. Ooooooeeeeer missus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parker_muse Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 I may be selling the superfly and a cab soon and stick a Marshall 2x10 combo ontop of the 1x15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The top cab looks like its's from the old bi-amped enabled TNT150 that you could by as an plug in extra? I used to have one years ago and it really complemented the 15" Blackwidow equipped TNT150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range probably didn't last long and I bough mine new around 1993. It's was used with the old TNT50 that had a crossover control and 2 outputs for high & low. The low went back into into the combo cab via the power amp in and the high went into the top cab. I've had a quick look and can't find any images. Unfortunately I don't have a photos of me with my rig from those days, only fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker_muse Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Here is a picture. It has alpha eminence speakers rated at 8 ohms each - they're non-original i believe. I'm not sure the input jack is in the original place either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I might be joining a band sooner rather than later so unless I suddenly gain a windfall of £572 (or more!) then I won't be able to afford one in time.

The originial bi-amp top box was enclosed & had a 150w amp in it to drive the speakers. Could be a custom job on the original to make it an extension cab instead of the original powered cab.

gafbass02 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Awesome! I own that 2x10 now and it's had me baffled! That's exactly what it is, it's had the amp removed and a jack socket fitted. I figured it might come in handy to leave in a rehearsal room or similar. It would benefit from a tweeter but I'd have no idea how to do it! It would also benefit from a board to cover the back, but it's kinda fun. looks solo sweet on its end with my shuttle 9.0 on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
