BassmanPaul

That is a true fact!!

In 1968 I bought a brand spanking new Fender Bassman with it's twin 12 cabinet. It looked beautiful set up on stage. It sounded horrible. I suffered through the two gigs that weekend and returned it as soon as I could. The store, Dawson's in Runcorn Cheshire, had sold my Epiphone Constellation trade in but I left the Fender there anyway. I put together a rig from a Marshall bent front 4x12 and a Leak TL50 Plus valve power amp I bought for five quid. I built a little single 12AX7 preamp for it and used it very successfully. Those KT88s sounded great! LOL

I would agree that 50W could be made to work through a set of JBLs That said who used JBLs back then?

A 50W amp was not enough to play a gig with in 1968 let alone nowadays unless all you want is distortion.. The power for my amp comes from a 2000W Class D stereo power amp. The tube pre-amp I designed for it sounds Wonderfull!

What about the Fender Rumble range. They have a good reputation over here in the Americas. I played through a Rumble 350 2x10 and was pleasantly surprised in how well it handled my fretless six string. It's the first Fender bass amp I actually liked.

Speaker cables??

In all honesty I feel that a player will not be able to tell the difference between this cable and a length of lamp cable with 1/4" Phone plugs on each end!

As long as it doesn't lead to a padded cell!

300W into a single 10 with bass? I can foresee a blown driver in your future!!

Retrofit a SpeakOn to the cabinet. I changed all of my speaker cables to SpeakOns years ago.

It's not from Trace Elliot it's a Peavey product.

LOL

I've not run them for any length of time so I can't comment on the heat issue.

That would lead to a Harrow-ing time!

Thank you sir.

In my mind a 12 and an 18 would be a horrible muddy thing.

Try here. Available in several colours. I bought blue, red and green to use as Christmas decorations on a BlueSpruce in the back yard. Runs off a 12V DC plug transformer. Edit: Also available in different lengths to suit your application. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333902707843?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=542963411279&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

I love the dry humour from the Antipodes! LOL

I've got a fridge full of the stuff but I don't drink anymore! Messes up my blood sugar readings. <sigh>

I prefer Keith's IPA.

The top cab is certainly blocking the amps's cooling vents!

At least they weren't called the 'Dilbert' range of equipment!

Amen to that!!

That said we are more than a bit subdued with the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves on the sites of old 'Residential' schools. That's dreadful all around.

Oooo! Now you're treading on dangerous ground especially with July the first coming up!! ;D
