Yeah I get it. Something like the Guitar used by Keef on Gimme Shelter, as an example, would probably fetch a good price. Or John Lennon’s Rick - that type of example.





You had more than one ?!?!?
Dude... I can remember owning 7 of them... and I owned more than I can remember! They were the vehicular equivalent of the Bic lighter:thumbsup:

Hey got a quick scenario for yall to mull over, if it catches interest...
I have a pair of shelf-ported cabs, 2.25 cu ft int volume. My E140s came in them, but they're way small for those.
I'm thinking about a mod to make the baffles accomodate a nice pair of 12s, and use them instead of the E140s. Then I've got a nice little stack at 4 ohms that I can stand my 370 on-end next to, and get that nice sound I've been digging. Also my little TE AH250SMX will sit on top of them in a tidy fasion.
I dunno. This'd make me modular for many uses, very portable, the trick is getting the right 12s. Of course I'll be losing the E140s, but hey, I'm a fool, and I know I'm a fool. :cool:

Small and very flexible, which suits me as sometimes things get busy and varied. Losing the JBLs is a little disappointing, but trying to have everything might not work as well as just having my act functionally together.

Any thoughts?

So no JBLs at all?

If you can get 12’s that will work well with the cabs, it sounds like a good plan.
Unless you’re into using 15’s and it’s not a hassle to move big cabs around, I would sell them.

Agreed, get the right 12's and you'll be all set.
