BigAlonBass Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 No, unfortunately not, but I wish I lived closer to Bristol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohan Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I noticed this also, I assume it will go for quite cheap and someone will get a complete bargain as it's collection only and not many people have heard of 8x8s. Do ampeg still make them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The owner wouldn't sell it to me ) They're no good for a 5-string, because they haven't got the "bottom" to cope, but for medium-sized gigs (even without P.A. assistance) they're the business.
