I still wake up in cold sweats over than one. |
What?
Did the amp fall on it?
If it was just a blown ribbon, they're very easily repaired and for not much money... on the left coast I'd send it to AEA, on the east coast to ENAK [I avoid that Sank idiot like he causes cancer!!]
I've used 74's on full on SVT's [a friend even has an SVT with a custom cabinet that sports 1x 15" and 4x 10" drivers... I've mic'd both with ribbons] without a struggle... I can't imagine a Bassman being all that taxing.
Cold sweat over a blown ribbon? I can't imagine that... hell, I've run up bar tabs during a airport layovers that ran higher than the price of re-ribboning an RCA mic.
[Pssst... between you and me... you can blame the assistant all you want... but at the end of the day it's still
your job to be aware of
everything that occurs during a session... including, but not limited to: breakage]
