Originally I think they had white domed drivers, with u shaped  magnets on the back. I had one of mine repaired by Wembley loudspekers but they couldnt replicate the white dome. 

Mine a few years ago before I sold them.

My favorite cabinet of all time. Been looking for one of these on and off for years. Bought one in the 70s with a 450 head. fabulous

Nice job to

I had a pedal with my 450 but it was a round metal one. I think it was a twin but the memory is a bit grey.

Sorry the bass is not for me but the photos of your area are fantastic.

I would put the TI's on your P Bass if you have one as they are a perfect match. I tried the TI's on my Jazz and didn't really like the result.

 

I felt exactly the same, love em on a p but not on a Jazz

I didnt get on with them on a stingray either.

Surely Graham Gouldman and some other blokes? 

Graham is the only original left and it works. Actually the original live drummer Paul Burgess is still with them.

Are there any good examples of bands that are several incarnations away from the initial line up and key members are missing and it works?

Thanks dude - I’ve reached out to them but haven’t heard anything back yet. If they do good work I’m not too concerned about their price being a little higher. Good to get a recommendation!

They recovered my fender amp and cab and made  new grill cloth frames for me a couple of years ago. Did a first class job and good service.

Zilla Cabs would do a great job

2.67 would be 1 8 ohm and 1 4 ohm in parallel

2x 4 ohm cabs would have an impedance of 2 ohm

I had a quote on a precison body a few years ago and it was £250 on a stripped body

And just what insult are you going to get that you haven't had before 

GREAT look for an overweight 71 year old (spoken as an overweight almost 60 year old

I did buy a Gibson some years ago but I never felt comfortable with it

I suppose I could always go on a  diet/  Naaaah

This looks great but I always think you should be wearing a pair of leather trousers with a foot on the monitor to play one.

Not a good look for an overweight 71 year old

Nice,

here's current "pub " rig

And very nice this is too. Dont turn your back or you might find it disappearing into my Volvo.

I see you live in Portsmouth. There used to be a music shop near Fratton bridge, and when i was a kid maybe 1963 they used to have a Fender tremolux piggyback, in cream and sparkly wheat style cloth.I used to walk there at least twice a week and drool. Your amp reminds me of those days.

Good luck with the sale. 

Thats beautifull. I love the look of fender amps from that era.

Over the years w seem to have gone full circle. When I first got interested in guitar in the early 60s, if you had a decent amp it was probably a 15 watt valve amp such as a Watkins dominator 17W. A Vox AC 30 seemed immensely  powerfull, but we followed the fashion. maybe got an AC 30 or went on to a 50w Marshall and a 4x12, [I had a bluesbraker 4x10] later upgrading to 100 and 200 watt amps which as others have said, were difficult to get to overdrive nicely.

In the pub and club gigs in my area now, many people seem to be using Fender Blues Juniors or similar, 17 watts and they are loud. My best mate uses a deluxe reverb 22 watts, and he can be uncomfortably loud. Last night I played with a guitarist using a fender princeton reverb, which is 12W, and the drummer complained he was too loud.

Go and see what  other bands are using in your area, who are playing the venues you play at, and similar styles. Are you micing up? if so you only need enough to hear yourself on stage. If you narrow down the possibilities, can you borrow or hire an amp for a gig.

Good luck

Compared to some of Gibson's recent and more loathsome efforts it's not actually that bad. Have a gander at these lovelies (pukes into his shoe):

These are Dire, not just 1 or 2 naff ones in a range, but absolutely horrible

Strange, loads of people on Gumtree pronounce it Squire

And write it as Fender in their adverts

Not confused at all, thanks! I can read...

Thanks for letting me know

Not getting confused with Epifani  bass cabs are you?

As you say, cheap for what it is. When I bought mine they were £1500 although I got a discount. I thought mine came with castors but maybe I fitted them.
