Mr. Foxen Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Did it have some advantage like better treble dispersion, or was it just how to fit speakers in a different sized box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California in the '70s, dude. Fender cabs were never shining examples of how to build bass cabs, more often than not being the opposite. This oddity represents their nadir.

Mr. Foxen Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'm guessing due to the small sealed enclosure, this will sound like a bassy guitar cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But otherwise OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It looks like you flip a few fasteners, pull a couple of sides & it turns into a 9x8 cab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The cross-firing and upwards firing woofers would improve dispersion but the downwards facing woofer is a v bad idea and the internal volume is hopelessly compromised. Could work ok as a guitar 3x10" though. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was produced with the trident head, so I assume it was called the trident as well. [attachment=21726:trace_el...triangle.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the sound bouncing off the floor would comprimise the rest or something. Or would it just be a waste of one speaker to leave it there as it has little to conribute? Anyway, bit invalid now as I got outbid. Still determined to get some sort of weird looking cab for my mids and highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
