howdoesitgoagain Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ok, I have decided to sell this rather lovely [ but seriously distressed ] old cab.. and use the proceeds to buy a 15 inch driver for my Mesa that is farting severely It comes complete with 4 15 inch 50 watt Celetions that need recones. I was going to sort it out but really lack the time and space to justify this and so bought a 4x10 and will also use a 1x15 .. 50 quid , no offers, if it doesn't sell here I will put it on fleabay next free listing day whenever that is I would trade for a good working driver if that is good for anyone . 200-300 watts is plenty. Cheers, Steve. Location Malvern, Worcestershire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) I wanted one of these so much when I was younger. It was the picture of Gerry McAvoy on a Rory Gallagher album and seeing them live. Marshall will do a re-cover at an unbelievably cheap price. An immense cab. Shame my back is stuffed with a trapped nerve. Best wishes from another bass player (also into cycling) from that part of the world, Bromyard, in my youth, many,many years ago.

Some one suggested getting a couple of 300 watt 15 inch speakers and blanking the top holes [ maybe a port ], the thing is so battered further butchering is not that important, if it doesn't go this is what I might do with it and paint some psycho patterns on the grill for effect. I reckon it would cost about 120 quid to get a working beast of a cab if you go the 2 driver route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the existing speakers 16 ohms and wired in parallel, giving total load of 4 ohms?[/quote] height is 36 inches, depth 15 and width 35 . It was originally a bit deeper but the front edge has been removed [ to facilitate getting into a car, the same has happened to my little Mesa Boogie 15 cab! ] . see pic. Weight .... not heavy considering size, probably the same weight as my 4x10, it feels like nothing with no drivers in it, just a bit awkward to shift on your own. Not sure how it was wired, just had some 16 ohm green backs in it. Those Celestions in [the link] look like good value. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
