Fender Bassman 100 & LDS neo 2x12 / 2x6

Eric Cioe · #1 07-03-2007, 12:00 AM

I'm just not playing big enough anything to justify having these things around anymore. I'm going to miss this stuff, but they are just collecting dust here.

The Bassman 100 is in good shape for its age. The only tolex wear is on the corners that aren't covered by metal corners. The preamp tubes have been changed to JAN GE 5751s, and I have a Mullard 12AT7 in the driver position. The power amp tubes are Ruby 6L6s. The power cable is not original, but the replacement job seems to be pretty professional. I'll even throw in the cable to "jump" the channels together, which can be seen in the pictures. Weighs about 35-40 pounds.

The LDS cab was built in March of 2006, and has never been gigged. It has the spray-finish, which is a 10% upcharge at LDS. It has two Eminence neo 12s (Deltalite IIs) and two 6.5s, which I think are Eminence. It's ported, but tuned a bit higher than most cabs, so that it sits halfway between a ported cab and a sealed cab. The only problem here is that the set of casters does not match. Seriously, it is in perfect shape. Dimensions are 26" wide (2" wider than standard cabinets, to match the head) by 16" deep by about 24" tall. Weight is around 50, maybe 55 pounds.

EDIT: The cabinet is 4 ohms, handles 500 watts.

The two together:

I'd like to see $450 shipped for the Bassman 100 head and $550 for the LDS cabinet, or $925 for both if I met you someplace. I don't want to ship the cabinet, but I'd be willing to drive halfway to Chicago or Detroit to meet you.

If you decide shipping is an option for the cab, it'd go real good with my MM HD150...
If meeting in St Louis for lunch sounds fun, lemme know?

Heck, I dunno, maybe you could meet up with KJung, and he could meet me in St Louis?

Lastly...Dude! I never thought you'd part with that!!!!!!

Diaper Geni: If you really wanted it, I could meet you at the Michigan/Ohio border.

The problem with shipping this cabinet is that it's hard to find a decent box that can fit it, especially because of the extra 2" of width.

Wow, I've admired this rig for a while, I'm sorry you have to sell it! Wish I could swing it, I'm sure it'd go great with my '57 RI.

Hey, thanks!

Do I want it? Yes!

Do I need it? Wellllll.....Sort of.

Can I buy it? The Wife says: NO!!

So I'm out. Next in line??

Eric Cioe · #8 07-06-2007, 07:12 PM

Anyone? Make me an offer.

I'm guess I'm willing to ship the cabinet. I will charge actual shipping, but I'll pay for the box. I remember last year looking for a box that could fit a smaller cabinet, and having a bear of a time finding that. Any takers?

Also, the head has been reduced to $400.

Talk to me, folks.

The cabinet is sold pending funds from the inestimable Chef.

For boxes, check U-Haul. I've found their 27" TV box to be a magic box that fits most bass cabs under 6x10. It's thick cardboard too, and under $10.

Thanks for the tip! I never thought of U-Haul before.

Eric,
I have amps coming out of my @$#^&%$#.
Otherwise your Fender looks tantalizing....and it's a helluva sexy rig.

**Chef** · #15 07-09-2007, 03:39 AM

Word!
Thanks for the box-tip BassBrock!

Eric, no need to estimate: I weigh in at 215...

PM sent for the Fender

Eric Cioe · #17 07-09-2007, 06:54 PM

The Fender is on hold for Larry.

Thanks, guys, for making this less trouble than I thought it would be. Looks like at least a few people have as good taste in amplification as I do.

Standalone · #18 07-09-2007, 07:31 PM

wow-- I've looked at this thread a few times and just noticed the detail of the cut outs on the grille frame in the pic where it has been removed-- maybe that's nothing, but the workmanship impresses me. LDS is something else. Good buy, Chef.

Larry, picture this on top of the cab:

but sure, I'll keep it in mind...
