FYI

hi, just got off the phone with Larry @ this place:

So that's where Larry got to! He did a a Blackface Super Reverb that I found back in the late 90s. His work is top notch - and FWIW his prices haven't changed since then! (at least not on the Super)

nice thought Rick, i have been leaning towards a bassman also and have been looking for some on the Bay.

here is what i came up with:

1) it is a mojo cab with dove tail joints

2) is 25$ less expensive than from mojo

and

3) it replicates the fender bassman 212 cab

i also found a guy that sells the fender 15" tone ring kit...i will post more news about that when i get it.

Does that mean I shouldn't have sold my 60's Bassman 2x15 cab (no speakers) for $125? 

Oh well, that was last summer....

For a brand new cabinet that is a dead on Fender clone (without a Fender nameplate), that sounds like a decent deal. Your only other real alternative is to keep sniffing around for a good used one and honestly, I think I'd rather do the new. Buying used you're likely to see a lot guys who think they have some priceless vintage piece , and I really don't understand that point of view for a speaker cabinet . The head is a different story

I agree. I figured a 40-year-old cab with no functional speakers was just a 40-year-old cab.  I was OK with getting more than $100 for it.

right on!!

too much glue, old wood (think not a solid hunk or small numbers of large hunks like in bass guitar making) to fall apart and the ever present PURESTS who drive up the price of vintage pieces, or the scammers who try to sell junk on the bay.
