    Somewhat older Bassman 215 cab info and possible replacement speakers help.

    I picked up this cab from a shop owner who bought it to go with a fender custom shop Rumble 300. The cab was brought home, then mothballed because it was too big. The cab is/was almost near mint (NOS). ( the CS rumbles were made around the mid to late '90s as was this cab I believe. Can't find...

    Used 215 cab options on a budget.

    I'd really like to venture into the 215 cab arena and primarily I'm on a $500 max budget. I have been using tens ( 210,410,810) for the the whole time I've been playing ( 27 years) until last year when I scored an BA115 Ampeg combo super cheap. I love the 15" speaker and want to put 215's under...

    Burl as a body wood question

    Hi guys, question for the pros. I saw a thread where an oak burl was used for a body. It had issues with a "dead zone" as it was described. Could it be related to the grain pattern in the burl? Can the grain become a "tone killer" in spots as its all over and not like a typical straight...

    Eden E300t NOS

    Hi all, I recently picked up a NOS E300t head and matching E series 410 cab. I've been lusting after the all valve sound/tone for some time and at the deal for the head and cab it was just too good to pass up( I basically bought the 410 Eden cab at a huge discount and the head was a freebie). I...

    Silly Ampeg BA 115 question

    Recently, I picked up a 100w BA 115 combo for next to nothing ( less than a Jackson after I sold my peavey maxx 112).

    Will there be new "law suit" basses?

    I had this crazy thought after reading the thread about the Feds raiding Gibson. If Gibson gets the wood back that was seized by the Feds, they can use it to coin their own limited edition "law suit" series! Haha that would be such a spin on all those "law suit" guitars that come up for sale...

    G&L replacement necks

    Will a Fender style neck drop into a G&L? Or do you have to replace with OEM neck? The bass, a very early SB1 was de fretted long before my friend bought the bass 20 years ago.
