Must admit this is the first time I'd heard TBS, as a band i was in a couple of years ago kept on being compaired to them so i never did check them out. Not what i expected them to sound like. More mainstream that i thought they'd be, but not a panch on someone like rival schools.

Strange that as the american ones or the one i had didnt. The japs normally get it spot on.

i would say thats a 63 re issue, the 62 had stacked knobs.

The offset speakers make it look like a Barefaced Vintage.[/quote] Cab is home made using dimensions from a late 80's peavey 215d bw cab , which also had offset speakers. Made from 12mm wbp ply so a lot lighter than the 2 1x15 peavey cabs ive been using which were 18mm chipboard.

Is it quite a rare model?[/quote] I thnk its a guitar head, but have also seen it refured to as a guitar/bass head. Unbelievably loud, also has the advantage over the normal bass head of that era in that you can use both channels at once if wanted.

Ive had mainly stuff peavey for the last 18 years other than a brief spell with a 135 fender bassman (great tone, but didnt like the distortion at volumes past 6) svt pro 3 (sold to finance other things) always rock solid re pairable and cheap on ebay, the last 2 ive had a late 70's mark 3 and late 70's musician guitar head both got for less than 80 quid. And because of that not trendy !!!!!!

Put this together over the last couple of days using 12mm wbp ply and 20x20mm bracing. Not going to cover it until ive used it in a band rehearsal on monday. Had a few rattles yesterday from it but have since braced the inside back. Dimensions are roughly the same as a late 80'2 early 90's 2x15 peavey 215d bw cab. weight wise i'd say it was around 55-60lbs. A lot lighter than th 79lb 1x15's ive been using.

Thinking of making myself a 2x15 cab, currently using 2 1x15 peavey cabs fitted with black widows. But the cabs are heavy and im sure to big, the cabs are 19" deep which im sure is a good 3" deeper than the older peavey cabs.
