Me too. I'm baffled by the presence of two copies of Dickie Bird's autobiography (one paperback, one hardback). Is one of them signed or something?

[parker_muse]

Indeed, i got two for christmas, the hardback one is signed by dickie himself. My grandad played cricket for essex through the late 60's and into the 70's and has many connections in the cricketing world - he was a good friend of Shep's.

[parker_muse]

Also, apart from the cricket/Jason Robinson autobiography and Lolita i've not read any of those books for years, i have another bookshelf with the adult stuff on it.

Ooooooeeeeer missus.

Good to know my cab's still in use! That's at least 3 of us basschatters who've owned it now

It's a really great cab alien! Good work!

Nice and cheap. I've really got to get me a cheap bass head...

Scour eBay and gumtree for a used Peavey. That'll probably do you nicely.

eBay is fine yeah but the trouble is that I don't want anything ridiculously heavy since I already shelled out a load of money on a MARKBASS speaker cabinet so there would be no point throwing away that advantage with a really heavy head!

[parker_muse]

I may be selling the superfly and a cab soon and stick a Marshall 2x10 combo ontop of the 1x15.

Well give EH a pm if you do: might just be what I need.

[parker_muse]

Will do!

The top cab looks like its's from the old bi-amped enabled TNT150 that you could by as an plug in extra? I used to have one years ago and it really complemented the 15" Blackwidow equipped TNT150.

[parker_muse]

It's the first time i've heard anything that it could be. I've tried to find it on the net with no result.

Save up for a used MB head to match?

Post a shot of it's rear end and I'll tell you.

From memory there should be a jack input and a volume control. The range probably didn't last long and I bough mine new around 1993.

It's was used with the old TNT50 that had a crossover control and 2 outputs for high & low. The low went back into into the combo cab via the power amp in and the high went into the top cab.

I've had a quick look and can't find any images. Unfortunately I don't have a photos of me with my rig from those days, only fond memories.

[parker_muse]

Here is a picture. It has alpha eminence speakers rated at 8 ohms each - they're non-original i believe. I'm not sure the input jack is in the original place either.

That would be the ideal thing. Unfortunately I might be joining a band sooner rather than later so unless I suddenly gain a windfall of £572 (or more!) then I won't be able to afford one in time.

If it is what I thought it was then there isn't much left. The originial bi-amp top box was enclosed & had a 150w amp in it to drive the speakers. Could be a custom job on the original to make it an extension cab instead of the original powered cab.

[parker_muse]

P.S this lot is all for sale now as i need a combo for transport purposes!

Sounds just like my rig.

Im speaking from experience when i say dont buy anything from the Marshall MB range except the MB30 combo.

[gafbass02]

Awesome! I own that 2x10 now and it's had me baffled! That's exactly what it is, it's had the amp removed and a jack socket fitted. I figured it might come in handy to leave in a rehearsal room or similar. It would benefit from a tweeter but I'd have no idea how to do it! It would also benefit from a board to cover the back, but it's kinda fun. looks solo sweet on its end with my shuttle 9.0 on top.
