LAB Series 1x15 cab original driver?

MPU · #1 07-08-2010, 09:49 AM

I just got a look of a LAB Series 1x15 bass cab. I took all the measurements needed but the driver has no markings on it. It was the original one for sure. Does anybony know which driver was used? I'm making one or two of those cabs to match my LAB Series L2 head.

I had one of those waaaaayyyyyyyyy back in the '70s, unfortunately I do not know what was in it.

I do know that I liked the tone from it.

Oh my, back to the tail end of the hazy days of the late 60's early 70's, but a good guess, without searching, would be either Eminence or C.T.S.

And I'd put more scheckles on a wrong than a correct guess, as those days are pretty foggy. I even did a small Wisconsin tour for a local Gibson dealer, with a Norlin Rep on keyboards, hawking those amps for a couple of weeks. Had a Gibson RD Artist and the Big LAB head with a cab stack for a rig. I did enjoy the sound in the context of an all LAB equipped band but my personal gigging rig, at the time, was an Acoustic 360 with two cabs and a Marshall 100 watt head head into an angled 4x12 being fed by a Rickenbacker 4005 and a Ric-O-Sound splitter so I never bought one despite the demo pricing we were offered at the end of the whirlwind state tour. Funny though as I remember having to learn the specs, etc., so I could spew forth to anyone remotely interested, but alas those memories are in a damaged sector today.

Cheers,

Do you still have your 4005? I still have my 1967 Jetglo 4005WB that I bought in 1973.

I no longer have the 70' Fireglo, 71' Mapleglo, or 71' Jetglo 4005's, nor any of the 60's & 70's 4001's either. Sold or traded every single one long ago including a 4001 C64S to Paul Boyer.

Did keep a Montezuma Brown COY 4003 that is strung with flats though.

Amps are long gone or dead as well, only the OR 120 Graphic and Reflector cab from Orange remain from the early days.

And now, back to the LAB.........
