Especially if it can handle my MK5 with low B. drjenney Intermediate Member Username: drjenney Post Number: 138 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 2:47 pm:    Robin, I've got an El Whappo Jr. I'd sell, but I am in Central Florida. If you're still in CA, I'd think shipping costs would be prohibitive. amelnick Junior Username: amelnick Post Number: 39 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 6:20 pm:    how much for the jr? I am in west palm. drjenney Intermediate Member Username: drjenney Post Number: 139 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 6:43 am:    Alan, $1000 if you are willing to pick it up here in Winter Haven. It's in excellent shape. I've just been using it as an onstage drum/bass monitor in church. Check your e-mail. Otherwise, you can contact me at drjenney[AT]earthlink.net.

Great sounding cab with low hours on it !!!!!! also have many other cabs I would be willing to part with including some rare Ampeg isovents which are discontinued due to low sales volume BUT arguably the best sounding ampeg cabs for the low B ever made!!!! Cheers, Stephen robinc Intermediate Member Username: robinc Post Number: 172 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 12:09 pm:    Hey Stephen, the 15 of the Sr. does sound great to me, and my low B likes it too! Will send email shortly. Tim- My inclination is to look into the Sr. first. Please don't hesitate to arrange another sale in the mean time. If your Jr is still available later we can go from there. drjenney Intermediate Member Username: drjenney Post Number: 140 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 1:45 pm:    Robin, No problem. I actually have another club member here in FL thinking about it. For what it's worth, I would have bought the Sr., but decided I liked the punch of the Jr. better. It handles the low B just fine. I anticipated adding an Whappo Grande (18" !) to the system down the road if I ever decided to string my Essence 6 F#-B-E-A-D-G. Can you say "Voice of God"?!? sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1572 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 4:01 pm:    That low F# would be 23.125 HZ ! What string gauge would you use ? cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 866 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2011 - 6:41 pm:    Actually, I believe the Whappo Grande is 21". Peter drjenney Intermediate Member Username: drjenney Post Number: 141 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, January 29, 2011 - 7:52 am:    Yes, sorry, my mistake, the Whappo Grand is 21". Accugroove's specs say its range is 22-400 Hz (http://www.accugroove.com/). Conklin offers F# strings at both .150 and .167 (http://www.conklinguitars.com/bass_strings.html). I'm not sure how tight the string tension would be on my Essence. Anyone here tried them and know?

Both the El Whappo and the El Whaoop, Jr are fantastic cabs that match perfectly with the full-range sound of an Alembic. robinc Intermediate Member Username: robinc Post Number: 174 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 11:29 am:    I suppose the logical question is why did you guys prefer the Jr over the El Whappo? zemog59 Junior Username: zemog59 Post Number: 45 Registered: 7-2010 Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 7:48 am:    @ Robin, Did you ever receive the pics of the El Whappo ? Haven't heard from you since I sent them & was just curious if you were still interested in the cab or if I should post the pics here on the forum? robinc Intermediate Member Username: robinc Post Number: 175 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 2:54 pm:    Never got the pictures... But I have decided to go a different route, so feel free to post as you see fit. Good luck with the sale. zemog59 Member Username: zemog59 Post Number: 53 Registered: 7-2010 Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 1:18 pm:    I Still have that Cab with cover!!!! Interested?
