I just came across a bass cabinet in the classifieds that's really got my G.A.S. in high gear. It's a 2 x 15" Altec Lansing bass box loaded with 2-421A's. I just emailed the guy and offered my new Portaflex cabinet in trade. I don't know if it'll fly, and if it does, I'd probably need to a pair of 1 x 15" boxes to replace the 2 x 15 cabinet, but I couldn't let this go by without at least trying.

Don't know if you need it, but that's not what GAS is about--right?

I wish I had just a bit more dough coming from my pedal deal and I'd be bringing that Altec box home with me this afternoon. I'm not a fan of low-balling, but I'm tempted to ask the seller nicely if he'd be open to a lower cash offer today.
(Edited to add:) I have cash from my pedal sale in hand, so I just emailed the seller and asked politely if he's open to a lower cash offer today.

Well, 24 hours has gone by with no response from the seller. I guess he's not interested in negotiating. I can't help wondering about somebody who's advertising an item on Used in three different regions, has had about three hundred reads on his ads but still won't budge after almost three months. Maybe he doesn't really need to sell and can let it go as long as it takes.
Maybe better for me....I'd have had to shop for a pair of 1x15" enclosures to separate the drivers because that 2x15" box is way too heavy for me to lift in and out of my car. I might take a run up to Nanaimo where there's a pawnshop on the basement floor of the Long & Mcquade that specializes in musical gear to see what they've got. I'm guessing they'd be approachable on trading my absolutely mint Ampeg 2x10" Portaflex cabinet with a new 125.00 Coveramp cover for a single 1x15" enclosure. Or, I could just try to be content with the small drivers. I sure miss the deep bottom end of a 15" speaker though.
