Preposterous new cab day (vintage Fender content)

[ossyrocks]

I blame Martin (@The fasting showman) for this. He sent me a message yesterday about an old Fender Bassman cab which was for sale on Facebook about an hours drive from me.

 

I didn't know I wanted one of these cabs, and to be honest, I'm still not sure! But it was so cheap that it didn't make any sense not to go and buy it. So here it is. I am still in shock as to how big, heavy and awkward it is, the pics on Facebook didn't give a clue to scale, and I certainly needed help getting it in the back of my car from the house. Now it's home, I'm trying to figure out how to convince my wife that it's a good idea to keep it, when I don't have anywhere really to actually keep it!

 

The speaker is a reconed JBL D140F apparently, but I'll check that out in due course. Anyway, feel free to roast my stupidity at today's purchase. Though it does look quite nice with my Bassman 50 on it I must say.

Does look great. I had a similar setup back in the 80s.

Not helping my Bassman gas at all this post 🤣

It matches really well, very nice

Mmm. Fender Bassman which I can’t move or a Barefaced which I already have 😎.

I’m happy you’re pleased with it Rob. Good luck with Mrs.Ossy.

I've always been a bad influence!

Looks fine where it is...
