The Last Bass Outpost

I have a TNT 150,  about a 1991 model, with a Black Widow speaker. It works well with the "Hobbit", but my '67 EB-2 made the cabinet buzz. I always assumed that the little triangular port, on the bottom, left hand corner, wasn't big enough to handle the BIG BALLS of the Mudbucker. I also have a 215 Black Widow cabinet with a Mark VIII head, from about the same era. That cabinet always handled anything I pumped into it without buzzing. It has a much bigger port. 

When Ike hit two years it was beyond miserable - no power, blazing sun, 100% humidity and not a bit of wind

At least, here in Minnesota, we don't have to deal with huricanes. Beer helps you survive heat & humidity in a pinch!  

I have the LP-12 amp. It's the same principal as this, but was designed for the low impedance Les Pauls. The speaker cabinet is powered, you could gang many of them together. The speaker cabinet of the LP-12 had (4) 12's & (2) 12" Universal horns. It is a beast that I may never move again. The Preamp lights up similar to the 800-B preamp. Here is a link to one for sale on ebay.

Minnesota nice..........

Welcome home!! 

It seems like no matter what I bid on, one person, somewhere in the world wants it worse than I do. If it were many, it would be easier to take. Sorry you didn't get it, maybe the next one will be a CMT fretless.

Looking back at the ebay photos, it looks like the "E" string tuner is broken. I may have one from my '69 Les Paul Bass. The difference would be the logo on the grease cap on the back. If I recall correctly, my bass had (3) "G's" & (1) "S" for Shaller. I changed them to a full set of Shallers. The Triumph bass has "GIBSON" stamped on the grease cap. (Nothing anal retentive about me!) I also may have a couple" Control Plate Stiffeners" left. A .015 thick spring steel plate that mounts under the contol plate to help prevent futher crackage.
I also would be interested in how the name "Hobbit" came to be.  

A set of tuners showed up on eBay, with the proper stamp...........  http://cgi.ebay.com/1968-GIBSON-BASS-TUNERS-SG-EBO-/250668768176?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item3a5d05dbb0

Good luck Uwe! I've never seen a fretless RD in person, & this is the best looking color IMHO. Mine are in Fireburst, my second choice.
