Are you sure the manual doesn't say 8 ohm minimum? That's what the Cube 100 manual on the Roland website says.

Does anyone have any experience with the G-K 115LB metal bass cabinet from the early '90s? It was the speaker cab counterpart to the 1200CEB combo, both of which had an Electro-Voice EVM15B speaker and four front ports, one in each corner of the cabinet, which was almost identical in size to the...

Has anyone had any experience with the Gator "ATA Molded Mil-Grade PE Case w/ TSA Latches for Bass Guitars" (GPE-BASS-TSA)(Invalid Link Removed If so, are they truly airline-worthy? I'm looking for an alternative to heavy, expensive, road cases (Anvil, Gator, etc.) for an occasional plane trip...

An Alamo Paragon bass combo was the first new amp I ever owned (prior to that I was renting a used 2-12" open back Airline combo). It cost $270 back in the early to mid-60s. It was closed back, ported, and had a 15" speaker. It looked like this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. I think it was...

I can't believe no one has nominated Jack Casady. He was the first one I thought of when I saw the subject of this thread. If you haven't heard them, you owe it to yourself to listen to some Jefferson Airplane LPs: Crown of Creation, After Bathing at Baxter's, Bless Its Pointed Little Head...

johnk 10 is correct. I bought a 200S new in 1968 and it came with a 4 ohm cabinet containing two D-140F 8 ohm speakers. I bought a 200S extension speaker a year later and it came with two D-140F-6 16 ohm speakers and was thus an 8 ohm cabinet. I had no idea until I opened them both up and saw...

Karl, your B-115M and Rovito's B-1150M use the same EV15L speaker. See: Link Removed and Link Removed. The latter also explains the rationale behind using the 16 lb. magnet structure on the 6" VMR speaker. While the cabinet brochures don't mention the 800w peak that Rovito refers to (they...

The 400RB is the first generation version although I don't know the exact year.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered before but my search skills are marginal and I haven’t located anything on point. I have had a Magnavox-era Ampeg SVT (300w) head since the late ‘70s and a Walter Woods MI-100-8 amp (100w @ 8 ohms; 150+w @ 4 ohms) since 1986. The SVT has usually...

lisk If you can locate a copy of the July 2000 issue of Bass Player magazine, there's an article in it about Jim Fielder, who was the bass player for Blood, Sweat & Tears among other things, and who always played his bass in a vertical position. In the article, he notes, "I'm basically an...

The American distributor of TecAmp equipment lists Austin Bass Traders as a dealer. See Invalid Link Removed

I have a lined fretless Earthwood that was made for me in 1983. From what I can tell from your photos, mine looks the same except for the fretlines and dots on the fingerboard and along the edge of the fingerboard, which has 16 fret positions. Like yours, mine strings from inside the body. It...

I played throughout high school and college from the late 60s through the mid 70s in bands with two guitars, keyboards, drums, horns, and vocals, with a 60 watt Sunn 200S amp and one or two matching cabinets, each containing 2-15" JBL D-140F speakers, and never felt underpowered. While I enjoyed...

I had a hardshell case made for my Ernie Ball Earthwood Bass years ago. It was made by Harptone and I ordered it through Mandolin Brothers. It was a custom case based on my tracings. I looks like an extra-jumbo old Martin/Gibson/Guild case. It wasn't inexpensive due to its size but not in the...

I had a lined-fretless Ernie Ball Earthwood Bass made for me back in 1986. Strung with LaBella tapewounds, it holds its own with an acoustic guitar and a second acoustic guitar or dobro or mandolin or banjo and a fiddle and vocals. However, its body is much larger than any other ABG I've seen...

1960s-vintage Framus

The "5-String Bass" first appeared in the 1965-66 catalog and listed at $319, at a time when a Precision was $223, a Jazz was $271, and a "Bass VI Guitar" was $320, excluding cases (all sunburst prices; blond and custom finishes higher).

I will scan my "manual" tomorrow (it's a one-page, two-sided document) and will try to post it here in PDF format because I don't see any address to email you directly.

LarryR, The two-page instructions that came with my 1986 MI 100-8 say under "Additional Instructions For Two Channel Model": "The 'mode' switch provides stereo capability with the addition of a slave amp and speaker. To achieve separation using different signals, set the 'mode' switch to...

I purchased a 200S back in 1967 and still have all of my associated Sunn literature from that time (as well as the amp). In my catalog, under the description of the "sonic I," after noting , "Like the larger Sonic II, Sonic I can be used with bass, guitar, or organ," it goes on to say, "A superb...

Early this morning, after having read comments regarding the S15L-D and seeing it and/or the S15LX-D on several retailers' websites, I found the price list some of you referred to on the Bag End website (dated February, 2005) and it, indeed, had a listing for those two speaker cabinets. For some...
