leschirons Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They can't have all been robbed of their speakers and then chucked on the bonfire surely? I get all nostalgic for stuff like this. First band in I was in we had a pair of VOX 4x10s I think, then later upgraded to a full 100watt Fender PA. head and columns (with 4 x 1/4 jack inputs) Wouldn't mind getting a pair just for the rehearsal studio for old time sake.

EssentialTension Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I remember having a pair of 4x12" Marshall columns just as in the pic. Also a pair of Elgen 4x12" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I had a pair of Orange 4x12s (Celestion Greenbacks)......& a couple of Orange 200 Matamps ( sob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 My son's band were given a pair of the Marshall ones about 15 years ago. Each one contained a pair of Celestion 25w 12" Greenbacks and a pair of 10"s. Sadly the speakers were worth more than the full cabinets.

3below Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) It is a mystery, as was BLs inability to build a gearbox that lasted. There must be a 'graveyard' like elephants or aircraft in USA. These columns are just awaiting rebirth as SMLA with NHD in marketing speak - SMall Line Array, Narrow Horizontal Dispersion. I would quite like to find a set and put some 'reasonable' (not premium) speakers in and see how they perform. Cabinets were usually quality Birch ply.

leschirons Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Being the youngest member of my first band (16) I was always relegated to the back of the Ford Thames 400E. Thus, the rear load area became my domain and the humble 4x10 or 4x12 column became my settee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy with a set of all original Marshall vertical 412s and he calls them his pension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
