howvard Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) [left]Unfortunately the band split and this thing is too big to store and not be used.[/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]Sounds great and works perfectly.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]Cosmetically its seen better days, for some reason when it arrived there where a couple of extra holes in the head shell. I ordered some replacement bolts from marshall to find that the holes did not line up with the nuts in the chassis.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]We dropped the chassis out of the shell and i drilled a couple of extra holes in the sides to bolt the head shell to the chassis. there are still two holes that don't line up underneath however i did not have time to drill these and the head now feels more secure anyway.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]There are a fair few rips and tears in the tolex which i have glued down, the previous owner also seems to have made a couple of repairs and tried to touch up with a black pen (though some of these can be seen).[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]IIRC the head dates back to 1998. There is a sticker on the chassis with a serial number which i saw when we drilled the extra bolt holes.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]I've attached some photos but they're pretty crappy ones off my iPhone.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/font][/size] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]I also have the VBC 4x12 400w 4ohm cab which matches the VBA Head. Its in a similar condition to the head, these have both been gigged quite regularly by myself and look as though they had been used a lot before i bought them.[/color][/font][/size][/left] [left][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#333333]New price for the pair is around £2k and used prices are usually around the £800 mark.[/color][/font][/size][/left] Edited September 24, 2012 by howvard
mattjones_81 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Would you sell the cab on it's own? If so how much would you want for it?
howvard Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 I actually have a second cab which has been mainly been sat in the rehearsal room, it comes with a marshall cover (its a bit dry and brittle) and some big locking casters fitted to it. Looking for £200 for that cab (what i paid for it). Let me know if your interested. Cheers Charles
mattjones_81 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Yes - I would be VERY interested in that second cab - just got to work out a way of getting down to the south west! You aren't planning a lovely day trip to Bath any time soon by any chance are you?
howvard Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 No sorry no day trips planned. I'm around most evenings and can take the cab to work with me for collections during the day. (null)
mattjones_81 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Ha - was a long shot! Could you pm me your work address so I can try and figure something out (may be able to ask a friend to collect?)
howvard Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 [quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1345760857' post='1781429'] Bargain! [/quote] Cheers! No Bass gigs means it's got to go
howvard Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Bump. Someone's gotta want this? Sounds amazing i'm just not playing bass anymore...

howvard Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 A few more pics, finally gave the cab a quick clean over and took a few photos today while it was sunny.
davidlovellbass Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I've been drooling over this for the past few weeks, sadly September is a really slow month gigwise
