Hello all.
First posting, hope I don't do anything inappropriate.
I am hoping for some advice.
I have been playing bass professionally and more recently semi pro for about 45 years (can't really believe it myself). I have for most of this time used the same bass as I use now, a '74 fender jazz.
Over the years I have used a fair few different amplifiers, small combos to big rigs and everything in between.
For the last few years I have settled on an amplifier which I won't be changing, a 70's fender studio bass combo. You could google it, it is basically a 180/200w all valve(tube to my American friends)
with some fairly versatile eq. It came with a factory fitted electro voice EVM15B.
I love the sound etc., one huge drawback, HEAVY, one handle on top, what were they thinking?.
Anyway, given my imminent 60th birthday I thought it was about time I did my back a favour and split it into a separate head and cab.
I have fairly good woodworking skills (I used to work with my late uncle who was a boatbuilder) so construction is not an issue.
The obvious choice would be a TL606 cab, I just wondered if anyone might know of something better.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
