Cheap 15" bass combo score
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2022 12:38 am
Finally a halfway decent score from ShopGoodwill.
Paid less than half of what the cheapest ones seem to be going for at Guitar Center. It was dirty, the grille needs new velcro to replace the 3M plastic hook and loop type connectors that were too stiff to press together standing on them on a concrete floor with work boots on.
The grille cloth support is cracked, but I will eventually remove the cloth and use some wood glue to repair it since I don't have a piece of MDF large enough and it would be stupid expensive to buy something that size to cut most of it away.
It works flawlessly so now I need to sell my cheap 1x12 Peavey bass amp that got kicked out of the office.
It is very basic, but the 15" has a lot more oomph than the 1x15 Ampeg I used to have. I think the big closed back cab with the front firing port probably is the reason.
It is a tank and almost as old as I am, yet is working a lot better
