Re: Replacement options for 15" custom ported cab?

One other thing about weight,,,,

Remember I use an old Kustom K200 tuck and roll with 2=C2=A0JBL 15s in it=
=C2=A0when I Play out. That SOB weighs a hundred pounds and=C2=A0we don't h=
ave any roadies in=C2=A0either band. Now THAT would be a place for the NEOs=
.=C2=A0

If only I wasn't so friggin hard headed!=20

Gang, You won't believe this one either,,,,=C2=A0For practice I use a 1980s=
 Radio Shack, =C2=A0Realistic 15" PA cabinet that weighs only about 30 poun=
ds. It even has a compression horn in it.=C2=A0I was using my Powerblock to=
 drive it but I have also used=C2=A0an old PA head=C2=A0that weighs as much=
 as the speaker!=C2=A0 Anyway it is perfect for practice with both the oldi=
es =C2=A0Rock-N-Roll and wven the Surf band I am playing with right now. It=
 amazes everybody, especially me!=20

Can't waite to get the Power Block Back, though. =C2=A0
