Hutton Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I found this rather nice 2x12 combo lurking in a corner underneath the stage in my church hall. Goodness knows how long it's been there. Nobody seems to know anything about how it got there. So, I have no problem in putting into action that old saying: 'Finders keepers....' It's a product of the Maine Electronics Company of England. It calls itself the Miane 12/60 Bass. I am therefore assuming it is 60 watts.The photos are really self-explanatory. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the footswitch with it. I'm wondering if another typr of footswitch would work with it? The three sockets on the back are: External speaker. Internal Speaker? and Booster?. I've plugged in a precision and it is mighty powerful. As you would expect the controls are a bit crackly which already are begiinning to sound better the more they are used. I have to admit that I like the sound I'm getting from this thing, It's very growly, not best suited perhaps for the Blues. However, that is only after noodling about a bit this afternoon. As time goes on I'll mess around with it to see what sounds I can get. I was wondering if anybody has any experience of these combos. It would be great to hear from you.

geoffbyrne Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I had one of those - the only think I remember about it was its collosal weight..... G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 It is very heavy. However, it is fitted with wheels which makes moving it around a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Would of thought a 2x12 would be more than 60w? Seems pretty over the top for a not-too-loud amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Unless these are 60 of the good old watts and capable of bringing ashame to any modern 200W amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Check the impedence of the speakers & how they are wired together. I had a Maine head rated at 60W @16 Ohms and the matching Maine cab had two 12" Fanes wired in series (triangle style).. The amp would do 120W @ 8 Ohms, but I never found out if it would go to 4 Ohms. Ideally, use 2 x 16 Ohms in parallel. G.
