django49 Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Way back, several years earlier than that one, the local "dream rig" was a toss up between a Sunn or Fender (Dual Showman), either with a huge 2 x 15 (JBL) cabinet. Priced at $999 IIRC, it was a complete dream for a kid like me. (Though I did pick up a Showman head and 1 x 15 Showman "tone ring" cabinet at a decent price. Separately, later found a 2 x 15 Showman cab with two JBLs for a steal---$75. Was about like picking up a refrigerator for a skinny kid. I may be wrong, but think it might have been around 100 pounds). Sunn and the Kingsmen were local legends then. I reckon someone will buy this as more a collector's item than for heavy use.... A few years later, Marshall reset the table........As a friend said, as he drooled over one, "Three is the threshold of pain". I am amazed at how SMALL an amp I can get by with these days....And not throw my aging back out. The speaker cab I used playing out earlier today was closer to 20 lbs, rated at 250 watts and way more than adequate.
ib2010 Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 This reminds me of an equally practical Casino stack I once owned. And somehow survived.
BoogieMKIIA Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 There was some religious rock band that did an afternoon assembly at my high school. The guitarist had a half stack Model T - it was loud and it rocked. Would love to have one in a big room!
