Sorry just seeing your post.. this is Hofner’s “artist” model which is made in German but has a thin poly finish instead of lacquer

I think they are probably using Weber speakers.. just a guess though

Exactly the type of cab I’m looking at pairing one of these heads with (Ampeg b25b 2x15 or SUNN or similar 2x15)

My thing with the AD200 is clean headroom room. I don’t mind some mild hint of overdrive and have heard AD200s tend to get nasty quick. Main reason the SUNN 200s is interesting is its ultra linear clean headroom for a 60 watt head

If I get another tube head (new production) it’s between the SUNN, Ampeg V4B, Orange AD200. I know the vintage SUNN units are legendary for their ultra linear clean headroom.

Wondering if anyone has had the chance to try the new SUNN 200S? It’s pricey for sure but cool someone is bringing this legendary design back. Is it a true faithful recreation of the original design?

Sorry to bring back a thread from the graveyard, but I just ordered a set of 40-100 Dunlop flats to try on my ‘23 German Hofner 500/1 (bought the medium scale version).. bass currently has the stock Pyramid Golds. Really looking forward to seeing if they fit and how they sound if they do!

Just ordered my second one from Fliptops.. to match this first one. 🙌🏼

Such a gorgeous combination!

Couldn’t agree more. Best bass cabinets ever produced.

A couple more shots. The Weber bass speaker has broken in nicely and it REALLY sounds good! I’ve played vintage 15” before (CTS, JBL E140s and Altec 421) and Weber really is making a great bass speaker with vintage flavor. Hasn’t farted out yet when turned up and can go from bright/aggressive...

Gorgeous!

Received this ‘61 B15 extension cab (double baffle) from Fliptops.net a couple weeks ago to mate with the Silvertone head and Hofner 500/1. Boy all I can say is I’m glad I’m back to playing a vintage spec’d cab loaded with a 15” speaker! (Weber bass series) The build quality is top notch and I...

Nice cab/setup!!

Voted 100watts. Currently using a Silvertone 100watt SS head with a single Ampeg B15 style cab (soon to be ordering another). It’s more about efficiency of the speaker cab and overall cone area.
