A.S.S. 12” custom Bass Speaker Cabinet.

Loaded with Peavey 1201-8 12” Black Widow driver. The cabinet was handmade by cabinet manufacturer A.S.S. in their Southend factory in the late 1980s. They made the cabinets for the Who bassist John Entwistle as well as for Turbosound P.A.s and their own A.S.S. P.A. systems.

The driver was re-coned about 14 years ago and then hardly used since. The re-cone was by Wembley Loudspeakers (the best) and I assume a bass cone was used.

The cabinet is nearly cube shaped at 450x450x420mm. It is incredibly well built in heavy ply with black textured paint and is front ported (see the photos) with an extremely solid foam damped grille. There are some marks on the surface and it has runners on the underside rather than feet.

Sound wise it exhibits a nice forward lo mid and mid range and a smooth top end, so not a hi-fi cabinet but sounds great with a four string P-Bass.

The cabinet is chunky and weighs 25kg approximately.

You really don’t see many of these. Proper old-school solidity
