Hello surf nerds. Mel Phantom Surfers here. I have a super loud excellent cond showman setup. All orig, w Japanese JBL copies. I have never seen them before, but they sound great. I can also put in the original JBL D 140s that came with the set.
THis set is all original. I purchased to from the daughter of the bass player of The Jolly Green Giants, hence the D-140Fs.
I would prefer to sell in So Cal, for obvious reasons, but I am happy to ship[. I would be especially happy to ship to a foreign country, as my experience shows that there are VERY few Showmans overseas.For those that do not know, most back lines overseas usually feature a marshall and a MV Silverfaced Twin. Ughh. So , if you are overseas, Ill work w you to ship this rather large box af aural goodness.
As for the amp, it is all orig, w Vintage cig burns, scuffs, but in very good condition for a 46 YO working amp. It has that tightness that can only come from the AB763 and 2-15s. With the JBLS, it is truly remarkable.
Why am I selling? I sold an absolute ton of stuff in the last 6 months, and I like it. I had five Showmans, I sold a KILLER 66 Blackface w JBLs to a friend locally ( who, BTW was in a teen surf band in 1963, and still has his 63 Jazzmaster he bought new.) I just do not need this, and as I got used to selling instruments recently, I would like to put this back out so it can be played and used as it was meant.
1300 w Jap speakers, 1750 w original cone JBL D140Fs. Simageounds great either way
