Birkir Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Hi! Stumbled upon this picture at home, taken in the 70s. Looks like a Hiwatt head and I'm thinking Fender cabs but the lower one is so wide? Any ideas? Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Looks like Fender cabs, but the bottom would have to be a 4x15 to be that large, and Fender never made one. Marshall did, but they didn't look like that. Quote

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 It doesn't have the trim that the Traynor did. https://reverb.com/item/6168701-traynor-yc-810-big-b-8x10-cabinet-1971-pickup-only It's also too wide to be an Ampeg V9. Quote
casapete Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Fender did do some pretty large ‘unusual’ cabs, like a 3x12 so maybe something like that? The width of the cab in the picture though seems pretty odd. Maybe could just be a home made / custom built job that someone used Fender grille cloth on? Quote
JottoSW1 Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Looks like the Bassman 4 X 12 we were discussing on another thread. Will measure it . Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Using the Ric bass as a guide that cab is around 50 inches high, and maybe 40 inches wide. The Bassman 100 4x12 was 40 inches high, 30 inches wide. Quote

Birkir Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 It seems to be bigger than the Marshall 4x15. Might as well be something homemade but I doubt it. I found the owner of the Rick, best if I ask him about this. Quote
BassmanPaul Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 The top cab is certainly blocking the amps's cooling vents! Quote
