  • EAW 153 3-way PA cabinets - $800/pair

    These EAW Model 153 3-way PA cabinets are used, function great, and are in pretty good cosmetic condition.

    Amazing hi-fi sound suitable for PA, keyboards, or bass.


  • Marshall-style bass stack - $1000

    Steve built this Marshall-style bass stack for his Cream tribute band a few years ago (Heavy Cream).
    It is covered in Marshall Green Levant, with vintage-type basket-weave grilles and Marshall logos on the cabinets.

    Top cabinet -
    * 4 x 12" modern Celestion bass speakers
    * 8 ohm

    Bottom cabinet -
    * 1 x 18" EV
    * 8 ohm

    The cabinets were built in our workshop to replicate early Marshalls, but they are slightly smaller (27" x 27") for easier transport.

    The head cabinet was made to house any modern 2-space bass head (head not included), with extra space for stowing cords and miscellaneous.
