I love the reference to 32 Bullit Sweepers. Obviously designed to sweep HF over your head.

Just as a matter of interest, Those super tweets on the top of the rig, were an idea that was given to me by my old friend Euan craig at Tasco. I had walked in one day and saw a box with these in them. Euan had told me it was an experiment of theirs just to look and see. So I went straight back to the Factory and made some. A box like that would still work today crossed over above 6k. I think I was paying around £6.00 each for the Motorola's.

Yes indeed, "32 Bullit Sweepers" or,in English,four boxes of 8 peizos. Wink

The half a dozen times i heard them,certainly very loud,if not very hifi....but back then,four boxes of four JBL 075/2402 would have been a fortune.

As you say Tony,crossed properly,they would still work today.


Be seeing you.

Seeing that last photo reminds me of the time we changed horns on the system. Steve thought he had the best with an S3 and the vitavox horn. I did explain the horns could make all the difference to the sound. Anyway we were able to do an A-B test, because I had an adaptor for the S3 which was a screw-on. Steve couldn't believe the difference, our 803 horn won the day, the vitavox had some serious dips in the response which disappeared when we changed horns. Quite a satisfying day really.

That would explain why Steve's Matamp/Vitavox horns changed to your big radials around 1982 Tony! Thanks for that.

On a similar note...when Steve first approached you in the late 70's,to replace his older Matamp-Orange system with something bigger/louder/better,was the ASS concert system already in existance?,as im guessing Steve would have been one of the first customers of these Tony?...i think it was around late '79 that i first heard his ASS system at his regular gig on Saturday nights at the Royalty in North london.

Hi Ian, The Concert system was already in existence, as was the Q system. They were the first major systems I had attempted. I had already done lots of different cabs for individuals, but never an attempt at a logical layout. Since then, of course, it's been hard for me to think of any singular cab without thinking about the complete set. With the Concert system, My most satisfying bit was the Low Mid cab. In the few systems that were about in the day, there wasn't anything that sat on top a bass bin that would be similar in concept and would match the throw of the Bass Cab. Both Dave Martin and myself were using the RCF L12P24, but I did my cab and he put his into the Philly Shave. The large 803 Horn was done much earlier than the system and was the result of Tasco asking me to come up with an alternative lightweight to the 2350. This was around 1976-7. Good Days.
