What am I playing through?

[Oldtimer]

I know this may seem odd, but what is this rig I'm playing through in this pic? No, this is not supplied backline. This was mine! The pic is from circa 76-79.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I can definitely confirm that this pic is from circa 76-79.

Not sure about the amp/cab, but that strap is very familiar. I had one like it in ‘73. Very comfortable and my precision stayed put.

Can't tell you about the cab but I do love your hair. I always wanted long hair like that but having very curly hair I always ended up with a blonde afro!

I designed and made the leather pieces. I still have it! The buckles on the horse girth are a bit hard on the basses finish if not careful.

Times have changed. I have no hair now!

The cab is an Acoustic, looks shaped like a 406, which is a hefty 215 cab. I'm not sure about the head but looks kinda like a Sunn?

Not an Acoustic. I owned, up to about 4 years ago, an Acoustic 406 but I didn't buy it until about 1981. Whatever it is, it was a 2x15 cab for sure.

I was going to like your post but I realized that in reality I needed an 'Unlike' for that!

I don't know what you're playing through, but that bass sure looks like my walnut 76 P.

Do you have a brother named James Hetfield?

 

[CBRXJ]

I'm not sure if you are asking because you cant remember or because we are supposed to guess....but i want to know what it is too because i think my brother got one from our uncle (around 79)

I think the porn-star mustache was the giveaway.

I forget the original question.

The head is not a Sunn, the slant top mount controls are a dead giveaway on that

No idea what the rig is but I dig the strap. Well done!

 

[Killing Floor]

Was that cab actually a 412? I had an Acoustic 4X12 cab that looks like your photo. That thing was a horse! It was loud and proud.

 

[Michedelic]

Heathkit? Standell? Sano?

 

[lowplaces]

The head looks like it says Bass Amplifier.

 

[crankypants]

I thought there would be a poll.

 

[Bugeyed Earl]

Can’t ID the amp, but wondering if that some sort of potato trade show? Played a few of those myself.
