The $150 is fair but most guitarists use D-E or K 130s from JBL. It's just a better sound, in spite of the fact that the 4" voice coils are fragile as heck. The D-130 is really a 25 watt speaker.
Second point, they don't even really sound that good on bass the way folks play now. Everybody has gone to multiple arrays of 10" bass speakers.
Finally, split them up. Nobody wants the dented dust cover, and if a guy is going to run a 15" like in a Vibrolux he only wants one.
Those are the same baskets as the 416 and sorta early too. No LTV. Nice speakers. If you pull the bell cover off them do they say 422Z on the magnet structure?
Last of the World's Great Human Beings, well maybe one of the last? OK, just an ordinary slacker then.
I had a pair of 418's reconed to make them 416's. They sound great in my A7's.
Just a thought...
A number of minor errors...Originally Posted by airboss
The 418 isn't a bass guitar speaker, more of a lead speaker. Selling them for bass will mean a blown speaker and unhappy buyer...
They are NOT WOOFERS either. And not Hi-Fi.
No, most guitarists don't use the JBL 15, most guitarists use 12's. Or 10's. The 130 isn't especially popular for guitar either. The 130 does see limited guitar use. Very limited. Mostly Jazz or country.
The 418 is great for pedal steel BTW.
The frames would be later than LTV. The 418 can have either old or newer 16" frame.
EDIT: The date code is 1969, very definitely during LTV, correcting my error. Not especially early frames still, though. Actually toward the end of the old frame.
To the OP..That BIN is WAY high. A perfect pair probably wouldn't bring that.
Top dollar? Probably 125 on the good one, 90 or so on the other. And top dollar is hard to get right now.
As frames for reconing I wouldn't expect to get more than 150 for the pair. Probably better, as posted, to split them up.
Very few guitarists would want both.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
You'll get yourself disappointed comparing a 515 to a 418 money wise it's like apples and oranges two totally different speakers.Also try lowering your starting bid.eBay is strange sometimes you could list a pair of speakers with a "Buy it Now" of $500 nobody buys them,you relist them at $.99 starting bid and get a bunch of bidders and they sell for $750 I've seen that happen more times than you can count you just never know it is always best to start the bids low to get the action started so to speak. Good Luck with your auction.
