Local pickup only. in suburbs northwest of Boston. Excellent, not quite mint, condition in original case with the case candy, hang tag, etc. No feel-able scratches, dents, or imperfections. It has some faintly visible wear that I have not been able to capture in photos. Only known issues are...

My understanding is yes. Hartke still has the user manual online at http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/legacy_docs/ACF1903.pdf Has a good chart of power vs speaker impedance.

Here is a rabbit-hole for you. I worked on a perhaps related problem some eight years ago. I was looking for a real good "thump" from a P-bass and wanted to get rid of the higher harmonics. The target was fundamental plus second harmonic, if possible. Filtering the highs from the E string would...

The original speakers were gone when I got the cabinet.

Amp is in good working condition. Has a blend-able tube/solid state preamp. Is 350 watts into 4 Ohms per side and can be set to Bi-Amp or mono. You need two cabs to get the full 700 watts as it is not bridgeable. This is the MOFSET version regarded as the better sounding configuration. Before I...

Cabinet is in good used condition. Has casters but no front cover. Has two Eminence 15 inch NEO speakers, model GNX-15500. As a result, the cabinet is much lighter than one would expect by looking at it. These were bought new by me and have very little playing time on them. These are similar to...

In a different direction, you might get an additional PF500 (!). You can use both your current 4 ohm 4x10s with 500w to each. I do not have first hand knowledge of the PF500, but from the manual it seems you should be able to take the FX send out from one and feed it into the return on the...

I fairly recently acquired a '92 Chaparral 5-string bass. Iridescent sparkle finish, set neck. It has factory (as far as I can tell) Bartolini pickups. Wired as Volume, Tone, Tone with three way switch. Does anyone recognize this preamp? Does anyone happen to know if it is Hamer, or Bartolini...

So in the late seventies, early eighties, my job would have me flying back and forth from Boston to Wash DC. I would try to hit Zavarella's music [Great Shop!] near National Airport for basses and guitars. Bringing back one I would have to check it as luggage. On one flight the guy sitting in...

Well, just about everything I bought before 2000 was less than $700. But if you are looking for recent purchases under $700, Jackson USA Winger/Futura Prototype (the actual one pictured in 1990-91 catalog)

I have two of the XB900/920s. They play great but the neck/truss rod seems to need adjustment a little bit more often than my Fender P's but no real problems. In this case it would seem like a matter of trust with the seller since you cannot try it out first. Make sure he has confirmed the truss...

I may be missing something in what you are looking for, but isn't this item from GC real close? Invalid Link Removed. They have the Olympic white in the pulldown. (right - looking for fiver - never mind)

Going back to your original post, you said you have to schlepp your gear on foot a long ways. Bigger will most always be better musically, but my daughter had my GK MB115 as an option (a lot more than your budget), but size-wise, even at 33 lbs, not readily campus-portable for her. (She is a...

My daughter went through the same experience. We settled on a used Line 6 Lowdown 110, which has a 10 inch speaker, 75 watts. At about 25 pounds a folding luggage cart was necessary for her. Used prices are around $120-140. Guitar Center often has them, and they'll ship to you. (and better...
