Bassman Cab in Pawn Shop

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi All. There is an old Bassman cab that has been sitting in a local shop for months for $150.00. Looks to be either a 2x12 or 2x15 as the speakers are set up diagonally. I have no idea if it works, grey face. Thoughts?

If your pawn works like most of them here in SoCal - then he paid about $50.00-60.00 for it and that gives you a lot of wiggle room.

I'd offer a C-note and see if it flies. He has to be in business next week so you've got to let him have some profit.

Oh - tell him to also pay the sales tax too. He prolly will.

I saw a pawn buy a half-stack Crate Hagar Voodoo for $50.00 for the cab and the amp - so you know they aren't gonna want to sit on any more amps/basses/guitars than they have to.

I usually grab a chair and sit down in view of the guy running the place and start a conversation. It works for me. Just don't blink.

Actually some Pawn Shop around here sit on stuff forever. There is a real nice Godin active 4 string that is one of the nicest basses I have ever played down the street that has been there for a year at $400.00. If it were a 5 I would have grabbed it, but they won't come off that price.

How do those cabs sound? Any idea?
