eubassix Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Carlsbro Cobra Bass 112 Combo Size: H=26inch. W=18.5inch. D=12inch Weight: about 50lb (22kg) Power: 90w EQ: 5 push button - band pass filters + high mid & low plus "Deep" switch Speaker: 12inch (150w. Rated) Other: Tolex (not at all bad for age, with some nicks/repairs) + plastic/rubber trim. This amp was made quite a few years ago but remains in pretty good condition. Carlsbro sturdiness & reliability. The 12" speaker (replaced/upgraded) is loud, and the unit features 5 band pass filters, plus Hi Mid & Low EQ (rotary), which is more than adequate. Plus the "DEEP" switch, akin to a turbo-boost Bass. You can also use the D.I.-out, and plug into the P.A. The layout is very easy to understand, and is placed on the top of the cab', so there is no bending down to view or change any of the settings. The old, original cover and speaker were a bit tired, so were replaced with a an Ampeg(Eminence) 150w/8-ohm rated better-quality bass speaker and a smooth, black cloth cover. Something of a classic unit and also reasonably portable in terms of size and weight. Good for small venues and practice. Collection/meet-up (north-east) prefered but would be able to package/send if required. I've had this for quite some time and haven't used it for ages ... so really looking to get-rid. Will be willing to accept any reasonable offer (collection/meet-up preferred but not essential) Edited August 2, 2010 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 This was my first amp. Brings back memories!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Awww my first decent amp as well! Parents bought on the never never from McKays in Newcastle. Sounded great - but I'd had crap before so it would. If I remember it could hold its own with a drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewm Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had one of these too, in my school days. It was plenty loud enough for playing alongside choirs and orchestras in a big school hall at concerts. A basic amp, but a solid performer. Well worth £80.
