UncleMeat Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) [b]Marshall IBS 1540 4x10 cabinets[/b] (that's Integrated Bass System, not painful stomach cramps brought on by abuse of wheat products). 400watts RMS 8 ohm 1/4" input I have two of these available for an awesome 4ohm 8x10. Both are a little tatty tolex wise, one more so than the other (see pics). I removed the Marshall badges cuz they look better without them, but will include so you can put them back on if you wish. Tolex aside, they are in perfect working order. The nicer looking one I have had for about ten years, and a few years ago found the other one after looking for one for ages. Don't see many of these IBS cabs about, although the amps pop up every now and then. Very loud. Very beefy. Hard as nails. Excellent rock tone. Lots of lows, and it can also tear your face off. Simple port in the middle, no tweeter. Big and heavy, but if you're into those new fangled class D Lego amps you probably aren't even looking at this post anyway, right? Not pretty, not clever - old school brutes. These are quite happy with solid state or valve amps. This is totally subjective of course, but I will go on record here and say that [u]in my experience[/u] two of these together with a good amp will wipe the floor with an Ampeg 8x10. Yes, yes, I know you're sniggering at the back. Did a 'metal' tour a while back and the other band had the Ampeg with a modern hybrid SVT. I had a redface SWR 350 into the Marshalls. Both the other bassist and myself ended up using our own amp into my tatty old beasts. We were both surprised - me pleasantly so. I don't know which model 8x10 it was, I know there are some different ones. Maybe he was just lazy! Like I said, my totally subjective opinion, so no offence to the Ampeg lovers out there. As far as I know the drivers are Celestion Sidewinders, which have a good rep from what I can discover. Either way the cabs are boss.

lozbass Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I borrowed one of these for a gig years ago - put my Trace Series 6 through it. I was absolutely astonished - one of the best cabs I've ever used. Unfortuntately, I couldn't find one to buy at the time. All the bass players in the audience were massively impressed - big, fat tone with a lot of bottom and mids and real definition.

UncleMeat Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks loz. They are my secret demons! No way would I be selling where it not for the lack of space since moving to London. These cabs are the bomb for any style of rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleMeat Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Cheers Kirk. Maybe people put off by the fact that they are old and scruffy and are Marshall. They are seriously good rock cabs. Whereabouts are you? I have a van and can potentially deliver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
