Alright, i got given this a few months ago from our drummer who got it from his grandad. I think it is from the 70's, and i pretty much need it gone now as its quite large and i dont use it.

Its got inputs for 4 instruments, a bass, treble, and master volume. I assume its 50 watts from the name.

from what i know of it, it was designed to provide the low end for a PA system, using 2x12's to do so, although ive been told that due to the size of the cab, it wasn't much low end. Also, one of the drivers is broken, so it would need replacing.

So here are some pictures.

The whole thing

The cab (a bit worn, has castors)


Inside the head


Im not saying it would be an awesome bass amp, but it could be used by a clever individual to make a retro looking guitar amp.

Its mainly just a waste of space in my room, so lets says a loose [b]£20[/b] or best offer, and it would need to be collected, or have the delivery arrangements taken care of.

The amp is early 1980's. Future Amplification Ltd, from Leeds.

That's some good info. There's almost nothing on the internet about them.

Absolute bargain - I think they were built by Futuristic Aids Ltd in Leeds (indeed, they were - take a look at this link: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fal-amplifiers-1979-magazine-advert-/110607473856"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fal-amplifiers-1979-magazine-advert-/110607473856[/url])

I swapped my Marshall Bass 50 and got a couple of Fals in the mid '70s - not pretty but did the job - this takes me back. No real need for one but a great bit of nostalgia
