coliseum bass head not sure how old it is
« on: July 23, 2013, 07:49:39 pm »
hello all

i have a coliseum bass head and i have no idea how old it is, and i'm kind of curious

the front panel is all silver / gray with "coliseum bass" spelt out in red paint - there are no black stripes painted on the top or bottom of the front panel

i haven't seen all that many coliseum bass heads, but the ones i have have either been entirely black on the front panel or silver / gray with the black stripes along the top and bottom of the front panel

it's currently in storage, but i can get a photo of it fairly easily.

thanks for any info anyone can provide.

I have a Coliseum Bass like that. It dates from December 1970. The date is marked on the inside in grease pencil, and there is a "Tested By" sticker.

Here's a shot of the front panels. The older on is missing a knob.
