New Cab Day

Awesome. Looks similar to a MusicMan 115RH Mine sounds best with Ashdown ABM500.

 

I LOVE old school!

 

Great score!

 

That cab looks like an old made in Irvine, Ca. Randall bass cab. I worked there back in the day for 6 months and remember that aluminum extrusion used on the grille . Randall's version of that cab could be upgraded with a JBL speaker. Very big sounding cab.

 

"I’m now wondering if it might need a recone: there’s a slight high frequency buzz above the deep articulate bass."

yA, but does it still buzz above the shallow, muddy bass? Can you still hear it when that boomy port is flapping your pants? I bet it just needs some EQ or perhaps some strategically placed Crazy glue.

 

I have never seen one of those. It does look like it is almost, if not exactly the same design as the old Music Man 115RH cabs ... only with a set of decent handles and a good EV speaker. Nice score!

 

I agree with the MusicMan similarity. I owned one on the early 80’s.
It will be very punchy in one low mid spectrum.

Fortunately I can use much lighter cabinets these days.

 

I've seen several Spectra amps/cabs through the years- but never had the Dea Markley tag on them.

 

apparently, the heads didn't get the Dean Markley Tags either

 

Here is a link that might explain the Dean Markley tags or lack of.
