ben_eat_pie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) SOLD to a fellow basschatter - escholl. Cheers Eric, forgot to offer you a cup of tea... sorry! Thanks for coming to pick it up, and for being able to find my house. Great chap, will deal with him again in the future I'm sure. Hi there, I have recently aquired a pair of the above listed. They were in ok condition, but had aweful styling, so i took up the challenge to get them looking a bit sexier! I used the classic ampeg style of cab, black with cloth type grille and stainless steel corners. Due to the weight of the cabs i made some sensible ajustments including a set of castors mounted on rear ready for 'tip rolling' just lean the cab over and it rolls smoothly. Original spec is the same: (X2) 1 X 18, 8 ohm, 200W H + H audio/acoustics driver both jack and speakon attachments And a matching 250 watt head. Have used one of the cabs for gigging just to see how it was, and moves an amazing amount of low end air. Very smooth sounding cab, and pretty darn loud; would best suite a 4X10 cab to get the best of both worlds, but the two together would pack a great punch. Pictures should come soon - if you're really interested you can come have a look (south norfolk), or pester me for some photo's! I'm looking to swap this whole rig for a Hartke 4.5XL (with the tweeter) so if you know anyone! ;-) Thanks for looking, Ben Edited October 25, 2008 by ben_eat_pie
cheddatom Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 What impedence are these cabs? Can we see some pics? Guide price?
ben_eat_pie Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 erm pics will be coming, was just seeing how much interest i was getting - would ideally like a trade offer, but cash is on an 'offer' basis! cheers ben
bassicinstinct Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I suspect you're unlikely to get any positive response without a guide price or pics at the very least. Just a thought.

steve-soar Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Hi Ben give us some pics and a price, so we can see if it is worth the trade you want. I tried a HH 250w combo a long time ago and it was amazing, (Kev Hopper of the band "Stump" use to use one-if you haven't heared this band, please check them out, what a bass player). Anyway, I also use to own a HH 2x15" cab and that wasn't bad either, so, if all is well, it could be a great retro rig for £170, (price of 4.5 secondhand).
ben_eat_pie Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 just a quick warning (bump) - this rig will sell to the lowest reasonable offer - no auction style thing, please get in contact via PM with any offer! not available til september so you can save your pennies/sell your rig! cheers ben
escholl Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 i made you an offer on the head a week ago via PM and you completely ignored me. no worries, but i'm still very interested so please get back to me.
bass_ferret Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Not being funny - but if you ignore potential buyers there wont be any. I am surprised there is still one TBH.
ben_eat_pie Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 if you lived my life mate you'd have an idea.... i might not be as fortunate as you.
escholl Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 is [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250277663639"]this[/url] similar to the head you're selling?
ben_eat_pie Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 it certainly is mate - thanks for the link, was about to do that but you beet me to it! watched it sell for 42.50! bargain, i really just want to swap though, money has very little value to me - i never have much and i prefer to do a favour for a favour if you know what i mean! anyway, cheers escholl! ben

ben_eat_pie Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 well the only problem is getting rid of the matching 2 1/18 cabs! it makes sense getting rid of the rig in one, you'll be first on my list of offers though if i end up burning the rest of the rig!
escholl Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 well, i'll tell you what. give me a bit to think about it, maybe i'll take those cabs off you if you can get some pics up.
escholl Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 had some time to think and: i'll def take the whole rig. you mentioned that they're at your uni, where is that? i'm not sure if i'll be able to get them if they're too far away
ben_eat_pie Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 good man, that's what i like to hear! will try and sort you something out ben
ben_eat_pie Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 i am in south norfolk if that's any good to you? cheers, ben
