Just a quick question before an auction ends  Does anyone know the rough dimensions of this Mid Bass flare? and whether it takes a 12" or 15" Fane?:

Magic Ian, thanks. Probably not for me then - somebody is selling a couple of pairs for £100 a pair, saw the ASS sticker and lost control - again!

Originally, they were built to go on top of 4560's of which we did bucket loads. It is a 12" cab and originally would have had an RCF mid speaker installed. These were built from '78 onwards. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

Mmm, 2 x 4560 a side, with one of these on top, then a big radial horn.
All with modern drivers and maybe the 4560's modded for 18's.
Would make a nice band rig. ------------- It just is. |

Later we developed a technique where the badge would swivel and adjust automatically. We were way ahead of I-Phone. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

PA was fun back then....you could get those 4560's to sound really nice with the correct choice of driver,and a bit of eq....Gauss 4580 chrome-dome springs to mind,Celestion powercel 250 was another,or the JBL k140 or k145. ------------- Be seeing you. |

| You want to hear some 4560s with PD1550s inside Ian-----I stood back in amazement and it takes a lot to impress me nowadays. |

The 4560 was such a workhorse speaker for so many PA companies. Most of the ones we made went to Germany. Every six weeks a lorry would leave. They were sold into a buying group called the gig group. organized by my old mate Mick Webb. Holland had quite a few as well. Tasco always had a good display. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

Tony - you SO need to get back into manufacuring!, I'll bet you've thought about it and there's clearly a select market right in front of you.......
Go on, you know you want to.....

You have to think of future generations, get some young loons and train them up in crafting wooden sheets into things of beauty. ------------- music is the message |

Doesn't really amaze me to read that. The dutch market for used speakers is completely saturated with 4560's! Not to say i have 4 of them myself, loaded with the (i.m.o.) RCF succesor of the JBL K140. Guess which driver i'm speaking of. ------------- Best regards, Teun. |

A guy called Rene had a Company called Atlanta acoustics. A lot went to him. In those days many guys just drove their trucks over and loaded up. The good 'ol days. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |
