1st gig on the ol' HB-1. used it with Heritage Colonial set up something like Plexi Superbass and small (1x10 + horn tweeter) Harbor Beach cab. great lows & other tones, never got it past 1/4 on volumes.

 

this rig takes up about as much floor space as a small combo & is barely higher than my kneecap (and i'm barely 5'6")

 

"hey, where's the bass amp?"

"hey, where's all that bass coming from?"

"hey, can we all turn down a little?"

ok, too much coffee, but this'll give you an idea

 

finish on the bass is only so-so, so i perked it up w/a decal of the Great Seal of the State of Iowa :thumbsup:

 

that's a Briton II rig behind (2x12 cab). Heritage head cabs are 24" wide

Nice setup, looks very portable :thumbsup:

 

yeahman. the Harbor Beach cab, another fine product of Michigan, is the first of its kind sold commercially. i originally chose it for living room use with all instruments (it supposedly with take "hundreds" of watts rms - i'm still waiting on the specs, but i "helped" test a couple prototypes using a '64 Showman head :this_thread_is_useless_without_ - fully cranked :D ). not recommended for those who dig speaker distortion. two of these would make a heckuva P.A. rig and they're considering ways to make them pole-mountable for that purpose. it weighs less than the head, i'd guess 20-25lbs.

 

anyway, i got the furniture treatment & a pick of grilles from a catalog put out by a handicapped lady in Arizona. looks like an old Crosley radio grille. woodwork done by C.B. Perkins, our local Heritage dealer.

 

so, that's an HB w/an HB

So .... you used the Heritage bass .... into a Colonial head (guitar amp) .... into a super duper speaker cab ... and that was your bass rig. Is that it? Cool beans!
