Put me out of my misery

Someone please buy this. I would, but it's a US-only auction.

That's actually my bass. I tried posting here last night, but forgot about maintenance. I need to sell quick, because I'm buying a Mesa head, and need the money. Didn't really want to sell it, but I never play it. I am the second owner. Original bridge pup was dead when I got it, was replaced with one I bought from a fellow forumite. I changed the tuners and input jacks,(purchased from Pick O Ricks), because it was wired for mono and the stereo plug was gone. The reason I did no overseas, is because I never shipped anything out of the US, and I'm not sure how much of a pain it would be.

I saw that this morning too. I am a total sucker for Azureglo, hoping for a financial upturn in the next 2 weeks (end of the fiscal year, you know) and cursed the timing of it all.
Chris, it is not a big deal to ship out of the country. I was stressed about it too, but it was just a little paperwork and making sure it was insured to the max. Shipping was expensive!

Aaarrrggghhh.....I love Azureglo. I got outbid on a 75 a coupla years ago.

New house + pregnant wife + chris' seven other basses = no 1980 Azureglo for me now.

DAMN!

I'm probably the only wacko that doesn't like Azureglo. That's a nice bass, but the color never really appealed to me.

Good luck on your sale, Chris, I'm sure someone will be all over it.

Like I said. I did't really want to sell it, but my hunger for a new amp over shot my wallet. I'll miss lookin at it, but I never played her. I prefer my '76 Azureglo. I hope she goes to a good home.

Chris, what's that a B-25B Ampeg cab?

kojakcurtis · Post by **kojakcurtis** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 6:19 pm

This one. Not sure if it's a V2 or a V4. It's about 42" tall and has 4 Altec Lansing 417 dia-cone's, EIA code dated 1969. From what I understand, these speakers were the top of the line upgrade back then, so I assume it's a '69. The one of the back of the bass is one of my new 4x12HE cabs I bought last year, I made a new grill cover with blue/silver cloth to match my old V4B. Now I want a Mesa head.

It's a 4x12. I thought I posted that.

Looks like a V2 cab - cool!

Do you know the watt rating for each speaker, or the cab? I can't find it anywhere. I know the speakers are 8 Ohm each.

I think it must be a V4 guitar cab then although supposedly some people used them for bass. Although looking at it again it looks too tall for a V4 but haven't seen one in person for years, those were great sounding guitar rigs, V4's. I liked them as good if not better than Marshalls.

Bob, it's a V-2. It's a ported 4x12, but that's all I really know about them. Nick Oliveri from Kyuss/Mondo Generator/Queens of the Stone Age used two of them with an old SVT.
