Seriously. Â£229 for a 1x12" 1912 Marshall cabinet.

Has the world gone completely insane?
Occasionally I think about saving up and getting a replacement for my butched Lead 12 1x10" combo which I'm using as a cab at home and the moment, but at this price? Fuck. Right. Off.

Fuck that noise- the 1936 goes for like 50 quid more, and it's twice the size with another Celestion in it!

DO HARLEY BENTON?

Â£46 from Thomman is painfully affordable.

Indeed.

I think that's the way I'll end up going if it gets on my tits enough.

what did you do with the guts of your lead combo? turn them in to a pedal preamp unit?

They're sat at my folks place, but I'm going to restore it at some point, needs some scratchy pots replacing and a speaker out added to the chassis. When I get the replacement cab I'll fix it up and return it to it's case.

Fuck me that's more than an Orange 1x12 - something not quite right here...

hahahah what.
i thought my ppc112 was expensive.

if i ever need a 2x12 i'll go harley benton, mister hurb seems to be satisfied with his.

I did something bad. I went on a bit of a Thomann binge.

On the credit card are:

Harley Benton G112 1x12" for practise and maybe even rehearsals

Korg Pitchblack (for bass pedalboard)

Warwick Pedalboard (this is the bass pedalboard)

My bass pedalboard will consist of the Pitchblack, a Saltbooster tweaked for Bass and this Dual OCD/Box Of Rock Bass Pedal I am building. It's going to be a tight squeeze.

I wonder if there are any cheap SolidState 100W bass heads that are portable I could pick up for that Cab for when Pancakes starts gigging?

Woah, that thing is gonna be mental/rocking.
Also that fuzz war you made for me sounds wicked on bass

Cool, I imagine it would, it's pretty fullon and broad ranging.

behringer?

scratch that, the one i was thinking of is 180w.

sits about the Â£125 mark with shipping from thomann or dolphin though, not disastrously expensive.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 3:39 pm

That's along the lines I was thinking of, I'll get one when we start gigging.

They used to some some sweet Ampeg ripoffs but I think they've been sued and had to pull them, haha.. crazy behringer.

Keep an eye on your local paper, gumtree and ebay, and pick up a piss cheap, over-engineered and NickS approved H/H head for Â£30 odd.

I am also immensely proud of your Thomann binge. In a smaller way, I almost did a similar thing with an op-amp big muff at 1AM the other night. I woke the next morning in a cold sweat...

Lol @ quick purchases. Would be interested to hear how that cab sounds versus a 1936.

I'd imagine there's a glut of HH (and similar) bass heads all around music shops, garages and Friday Ad across the country. I likes my ancient HH head, even though the Graphic EQ makes farty noises when it's engaged.

I'd be wary of using it as a bass cab though- I've used guitar rigs as bass setups with no probs, but bass amp + guitar speaker could be very messy, them thangs don't like sub 100hz toneeez.

Yeah, it's probably just a pipe dream and pedalboard -> DI -> PA is more likely for the time being.

Post by **Doog** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 8:27 pm

I'd totally pick up a cheapy Behringer ampsim pedal at least- distorted bass into PA sounds like AAAAAAAASS, DI box or not.
