Vintage Fender Dual Showman Cab

[Trev]

This is fundamentally a dual purpose guitar or bass cabinet as it a sealed 2x15, wide, tall and shallow, which is great for narrow stages.

The drivers are in good condition as is the grille although the tolex has seen better days.

There are a couple of these on ebay at the mo although they're barely recognisable.

Mine has the original JBLs visible thru the original silver cloth grille (although to be fair this thing is about 40 years old, the cloth looks more beige thgan silver!) and the fender badge is intact but I'm not sure if its the original one but the badge doesnt affect the sound lol....... it sounds fantastic for bass or guitar as the JBLs have a very clean warm sound at low to medium levels and grunt nicely when pushed.

Needless to say it is very heavy but if you want that authentic vintage look and sound its par for the course I'm afraid.

If you know any guitarist or bass players with an old "piggyback" fender or music man head, this is the cab that will do it justice.

I believe the guy I bought this cab from played keyboards in The Band Of Joy with Robert Plant, not sure if he used this very cab but JPJ later had 2 of em for his keyboard backline in led zeppelin so if I dont get chance to put some pics up, you'll get some idea of what it looks like from watching old zep footage.

Or just google it. Fender Dual Showman Cabinet innit.

I would love to have had the matching amp, and I nearly did........ but thats another story.,,,,,,,

Offers over £200 for this, mainly because its an all original vintage piece of kit.


You'll need a family hatchback at least to collect it but I may deliver locally . Halifax/Leeds UK.


PM me if you or your guitarist likes a bit of middle-aged stuff.

Cheers.
