GarethFlatlands Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi peeps, new here and thought this would be the place to get rid of some of the stuff I've had lying around for a while and give it a new home! A while ago I had a friend build me a 4 by 10 bass cab which I finished myself. Long story short, by the time I finished it I'd switched from bass to guitar and now have 4 of these speakers sat at home doing nothing. Once finished, I played through the cab for maybe an hour so they're not broken in yet. They're 10 inch, 200 watt celestions, (BL10-200's), 8 ohms each in good condition apart from the surrounds on the front which are a little tatty. There's also some solder on the connectors which seemed a little obvious but worth mentioning. There is also some discoloration on the back cover of one but I reckon this will come off with some wire wool which I will do before posting. If it doesn't, I will send a pic and we can work something out. Pics can be provided if anyone wants. They're going for £38-50 per speaker or £133.50 for 4 on fleabay, I think £100 for all 4 seems fair. I'd rather send them all out at once but will split them into 2 sets of 2 at £50 each if requested. Postage will vary, one speaker (they weigh approx 3 kilos each) is around £8.97 and 4 come to £22.97 first class recorded. I'm based in Sheffield so can deliver or meet locally within reason. Any questions or priceoffers/trades, please ask and thanks for looking! Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think these are what Ashdown used before they went to the Blue ones, or possibly BL10-150, were better regarded than the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on other ways to get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverwolf Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Autosol is good for polishing most bare metal parts, readily available from Halfords and some supermarkets (tho probably cheaper from online retailers). Might be worth checking out whether this would be suitable for your speaker, though I'd suggest testing it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
