I think Scott may already be on the way over.
;D
Daum ! That would be sooooooooooooooooo cool.
I needed a truss just to read the ad.
So far into it with email and phone call, going to try to make it work. Lets see just how understanding the missus can be.
4x15....should come with a cherry picker to move it around....

Jeez Scott! You're gonna need a 40ft. trailer just to move YOUR RIG to a show ;D
I actually already have the slope-fronted version of that cabinet. That is the Artist Series cabinet that went with their JCM800 model 2001, 400 watt tube bass head. Mine is missing the logo, but has the same grille, tolex and the addition of plexiglass handles, so that it would make the top of the stack. You wouldn't believe how many Marshall "experts" tell me I'm confused or mistaken about the cab that I've owned for over a decade and they've never even seen pictures of... :rolleyes:
It has four 8 ohm Gauss 15's, wired series/parallel for 8 ohms. Mine has been rewired to put all four drivers in parallel for a 2 ohm load. It's actually much lighter than you would imagine, about half what an SVT 8x10 weighs. It's also very thin and not a very good match to the drivers, though it is ported. The Gauss drivers would sound awesome in proper volume of air and you could sub in much cheaper general purpose 15's and not hurt its tone at all and lighten it by about 20-25 lbs. It's more of a collectors/conversation piece than a useful bass cab, though paired with a good deep 2x15, it will give you midrange snarl to die for, a well-known Gauss attribute.
That price is market value. I paid $250 for mine. The owner is mistaken about it being an early 70's cab; it came after 79, though most 'Marshallites' swear that the only 4x15 cabs Marshall made were early 70's.
Ah Good to know. I can't swing it, I've reached my limit for the moment.

PBG needs to complete the stack...
PBG is paying for a VERY expensive cancer kitty and dealing with a credit card company (who is being VERY helpful) to get some of the money back from the hospital where she was treated. $74 a DAY in "hospilization" fees for 30 days and my cat was returned to me covered in her own dried feces with numerous tangles in the cat carrier she was brought to the hospital in (which is a 7 hour drive from my house) complete with a 30 day-old unwashed towel that she urinated upon during the long trip there. I had called ahead 90 minutes before my wife and I arrived to pick her up on the day we had scheduled two weeks prior, in order to have a consult with her doctor (standard protocol for cancer kitties- this is #2 for us), whom I was told was on vacation. She was presented to us in the lobby in her fetid carrier among barking dogs and screaming children with her nurse simply reading her report highlights, and had I not insisted, several items personal to her that we had supplied to help comfort her in her month away from us would not have been produced either. I hate to go so far off-topic, but this has pissed me off to no end.
Our last experience with this hospital four years ago with a different cat but the same doctor was stellar, and until all this garbage we had no reason to expect this one to be otherwise. Her cancer care was first rate, but her general care was BEYOND negligent and seriously unhealthy for a feline (or ANY animal) with a compromised immune system, and the disrespect and dishonesty given to my wife and myself is entirely unexcuseable. I have already lodged a formal complaint with the hospital's operations manager, who lied to me directly twice, first promising me a personal apology from the members of her care team responsible, and secondly providing us with some sort of explanation as to why such a situation occurred to begin with. After I let the CC company rake them through the coals, I'm going to their local BBB and filing a formal complaint. I have previously recommended them to anyone needing serious vet care in this region (keep in mind- I live over 350 miles away from this place!) After this, I cannot recommend strongly enough AGAINST them.
That's terrible! >:( Really makes you wonder just what the hell is going on behind the scenes there. Poor kitty!
PBG, that sounds inexcusable. That doctor and hospital owe you a hell of a lot more than an explanation for their horrid care. I'm sure your kitty is glad to be home anyway but after being treated so poorly she must feel relieved as well.
I'm not the suing type but if that were my dog I'd want to spank them as hard as I could.

Upon meeting her nurse, I'm pretty sure it was a case of laziness. Jones' (the first one) nurse was exceptional and went far above and beyond any expectation of care. We weren't expecting
that level of commitment or concern with Buffy, but what we got would be unacceptable in an animal shelter. Part of the standard course at the hospital is that you are supposed to receive two separate updates via phone each business day, one concerning your pet's physical status and the other concerning charges accrued. We only got those for the first week. After that, there were financial updates every day or so, but even after my wife and I both called separately requesting a health status the second week, we were never given a single one until we picked her up. Since Buffy is finishing her chemotherapy locally (the same as Jones did) the hospital had to coordinate with my local vet and at least THEY got daily updates, but all they consisted of were brief one-sentence statements like, "Kitty not eating well," or "Kitty is hiding in her cage." Each sentence would be the entire update for a whole day.
Buffy has always been an extremely shy cat, but she is not hateful nor has her appetite ever faltered. Jones is very outgoing, friendly and vocal, so naturally her nurse was extremely attentive. The impression I got with Buffy was that aside from being removed from her cage for radiation or chemo, she was ignored completely. Her nurse struck me as someone who was very
comfortable in her job. I didn't pay for Buffy to be loved, but she should have been kept clean. I haven't made up my mind the manner I will use to dispute the charges yet. Her general care was charged as a separate, twice-daily itemized expense. Our local vet charges just under $13 a day for boarding and that includes a weekly cleaning as well as any additional hygenically required grooming. Since she was at least fed and housed I don't think I want to contest the 'hospitalization' charges totally, but after the treatment both my wife and myself have received after we inquired into the matter, I may just do that. We paid over $9300 for her and of that, over $2000 was for hospitalization alone. I know that there is an indvidual profit margin built into each expense, and I am happy with her cancer treatment, but it's to the point that I feel that there should be some further refund than just the simple care. I know it's not court and I'm not looking for punitive damage, but I also know that even without the hospitalization fees, they made a lot of money off of us.
Whether or not you decide to contest it, it's just not an acceptable way to treat any animal in their custody, much less a sick one.
Certainly there are professional organizations associated with veterinary medicine that you can report this to as well as state licensing boards. I would hit them from every angle - an animal can't speak for itself and neglect of an animal in this situation is vile and contemptable.

That's an excellent idea. A report to the vet med professional organization and the state will have two different but meaningful impacts.
the poor care is bad enough but I'm still chocking on my coffee over those prices.
i can relate to PBG's ordeal, but fortunately my results turned out much better.
three years ago, i took my 14 year old yorkie (Max) to a very reputable intensive/emergency care vet for a serious pancreatitus issue. many vets thought it was one of the worst cases that they'd ever seen, and due to his age and the severity of his ailment, they said it was probably not worth it to try and treat him. but since Maxwell was the most bitchen dog i'd ever met, i felt he deserved it, and prayed that if he showed signs of not wanting to live, he'd let me know. fortunately, the ICU was only 10 minutes from my house so i'd go in an check up on him twice a day. everytime i went in, he perked up and acted happy to see me. i wasn't very impressed with their care (@ $100/day) until i started complaning, and then got to know a few of the nurses there that understood my concerns about how they were treating him, and giving him meds and fluids on schedule. after that, his care was excellent. 3 weeks (and a $10K bill!) later i was able to bring him home for a complete recovery. he lived another 2 years of a happy and healthy life before he died of old age, but after that ordeal, his nickname was M10K.
good luck with your kitty. i hope it all turns out well for you. dealing with vets can be a bitch at times.
