Here;s mine;

[b][u][size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Original Beatles 60’s Vox Bass Rig[/font][/color][/size][/u][/b]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]This is the amp that Paul McCartney used with the Beatles for recording Norwegian Wood, Eleanor Rigby, Day Tripper and Lady Madonna, and there may well be others, although these are well documented. Prior to me purchasing this rig, it had one owner from new, and is all original. A fine example of a super rare, matched rig.[/font][/color][/size]

[b][u][size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Amp Head[/font][/color][/size][/u][/b]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana][b]VOX SUPER FOUNDATION BASS[/b]. Serial Number 2680, which I believe, from research (I’m no expert, so please check for yourself), that this dates from 1967-1968, although they are not always entirely accurate, from what I’ve read.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Twin channel, [b]200Watt [/b]Solid State Head. The ‘Big One’.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Effects and distortion knobs, footswitch, plus controls and inputs for each channel. [/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]The cloth is all intact, and in excellent condition, the corner protectors are all original, with VOX decals. The top grilles are also original with VOX decals. Handle again is original, with VOX decal. All parts are original. ‘VOX’ badge, and ‘Super Foundation Bass’ badge are intact and original.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Rear, metal, serial number plate label intact.[/font][/color][/size]

[b][u][size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Speaker Cabinet[/font][/color][/size][/u][/b]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana][b]VOX SUPER TWIN FOUNDATION BASS[/b], Serial number 327[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]2x15” Vertical stacked speakers, the cloth is all intact, with some scuffs expected with this age, and in very good condition, no rips or holes, the corner protectors are all original, with VOX decals. All parts are original. Vertical ‘VOX’ badge, and ‘Super Twin Foundation Bass’ badge are intact and original. Rear, metal, serial number plate label intact.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Cab comes with original trolley casters on rear, and metal holding stands to front. The top comes with the original chrome tubular handlebars, used to push/pull the unit around (despite its size, this addition is an extremely simple design, and makes the unit easy to transport around. These chrome tubular bars also act as the support cradle for the amp head, which locates itself on top. These original chrome stands are extremely sought after in their own right.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]Overall, this is a fantastic, all original, rarely seen, and importantly, a [i]perfectly matched[/i] vintage sixties Vox bass rig, cosmetically it shows it's age with the expected wear and tear but nothing major wrong as the pictures show. [/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#000000][font=Verdana]I’ll be selling this over the coming weeks, so if you may be interested, PM me.[/font][/color][/size]

[font=Verdana][size=3][color=#000000]This isn’t just a shameless plug for an upcoming sale, but I haven’t seen any vintage VOX porn on here, and it [i]is[/i] a rig to get aroused over!![/color][/size][/font]

Truly lovely looking vintage loveliness there Rick.

I'm sure you won't have any problem selling that on.

There is obviously not the same love for vintage amps/cabs as there is for instruments, seeing that your post has been here for well over twelve hours and I'm the first to post.

No idea, not a fan myself ( ), took that from one of the Vox site's when i was doing some research, they seem to know their stuff. Maybe they were referring to the tracks recorded during that session, when this rig was used, which would make sense. Not my bag at all, you're talking to the wrong guy if you're talking Beatles.

I sold a SuperFoundation 2x15" a couple of years ago. It was in pretty good condition. The thick thread stuff that goes round the top and sides was coming away a wee bit but otherwise it was it was in great condition. It had even been hired out to the Bootleg Beatles as a stage prop for a TV experience.

did I mention that it had no drivers? well it didn't. I think it was a slightly later 1973ish model.


I sold that empty cab for £360 so the mind boggles at what you could get for yours.

Which amp did Macca use for " With A Little Help From My Friends"? Sounds like his Rickenbacker.

Hi there,

I'm also the proud owner of a 1966 Vox Foundation Cab. Solely made with Macca in mind, for their upcoming '66 tour, where he stated he wanted something smaller and lighter, but as punchy as the Super Foundation. So from this I would guess what you've got is actually an early 1966 Vox cab.
I may be mistaken, but obviously they never toured after 1966, so I'd be suprised if its 67.

Surprised if that were true, because this is larger and heavier than a foundation cab, being the super twin foundation, its the biggest bass cab they did in this series, as a 2x15.
Also, if it was a '66, it would be a JMI badged model, they are'nt, they are Vox Sound Ltd, which would suggest late '67-early '68, after applying serial numbers etc.

Anyway, someone else is now the proud owner, i sold it last week, and miss it already, just don't have the space, and the sound wasn't great, as with most solid state vox amps!
