FS: Low Down Sound 2x12+2x6 Cab, 500W

[Charley Umbria]

***SOLD***

$400.00 + shipping/packing. --See special offer below!--

This is a custom Low Down Sound 2x12" + 2x6" bass speaker cabinet rated 500 watts @ 4ohms. The cabinet is loaded with two Eminence Deltalite II 12's and two Alpha 6" mid drivers. Dimensions are 26"W x 24"T x 16"D and weight is around 65 lbs. with the removable casters. The back panel features both Speakon and 1/4" connections. The cab has a very tough spray on bedliner finish. It's in very good gigged condition, w/2 brand new 6" drivers and one freshly re-coned 12". The cab comes with a metal perforated grill and a Fender-style cloth grill. I've never tried putting the cloth grill on the cab, so I can't vouch for its fit. There are also some marks on the cloth grill where a previous owner used silicone sealant around the speaker cutouts (visible in pix).

The cab has a full, but controlled sound: Plenty of low end, and lots of presence on top from the Alpha sixes. Chef described this cab as "vintage plus a little more top end". To me, the best word is "clean". I like this cab a lot, but it's just not "my sound." I'm actually selling this cabinet because I want something that will color my tone a little more.

If you don't want to pay for shipping, I can meet you in the Nashville area for pickup. Cash or PayPal only.

Here's Chef's original description of the cab.

Here's a Fry-Day morning bump, with a special offer:

$25.00 off the listed price if you can name the three degrees of separation between renowned engineer John Fry and Tal Wilkenfeld.

I'll try two degrees -- Stevie Ray Vaughan used the studio; he toured with Jeff Beck; she's Beck's bassist.
Ever play an upright through this cabinet?
Give me a guesstimate on shipping to 48165. I could do residential or business if it's different.
If it doesn't sell on ebay, I may be your man...
Thanks!

[Charley Umbria]

Good guess, jumpcat. I hadn't made the SRV connection. You're right about Jeff Beck, but I had two more direct links in mind before him...

UPS estimates $49.00 commercial and $51.00 residential for standard ground. Packing is on me.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to answer your question about the upright. Unfortunately, I haven't tried an upright through the cab, as I don't own one...and that's probably a good thing!

Tuesday morning, too-busy-working-yesterday-to-look-through-the-TB Classifieds-for-an-awesome-early-Christmas-present bump.

$25.00 discount still available!

[Reticle]

Are the 1st 2 degrees Booker T. & the MG's ---> Steve Cropper?

[Charley Umbria]

Ah, a good direct one that I hadn't considered: John Fry engineered on Booker T's McLemore Avenue and MG Steve Cropper produced Beck's The Jeff Beck Group in 1972.

If you're in the market for a great deal on a cabinet, I'd say that qualifies as a $25.00 answer (although I'm still hoping someone will guess mine)!

Hint: It does involve another famous guitarist...

[Pushrod]

Do you still have this cabinet? If so, how much shipped to 62644?

[Charley Umbria]

Yup, she's still available. PM sent with shipping info.

'Twas the week before Christmas bump.

[Charley Umbria]

...and she's sold!

[Charley Umbria]

On the off chance that anybody is still playing along at home, here's my answer to the three degrees of separation between renowned engineer John Fry and Tal Wilkenfeld:

John Fry:
-->

...worked at Ardent studios with Terry Manning (right):
-->

...who engineered Led Zeppelin III, and was a friend of Jimmy Page:
-->

...who was in The Yardbirds with Jeff Back:
-->

...who once and for all settled the "Chick vs. Chick With Bass" question by hiring Tal Wilkenfeld.


So there you have it!
