Vintage 1960s Selmer 1x18 Amplifier Speaker Cabinet Custom Made - THE BACHELORS

*’THE BACHELORS’ CON CLUSKEY 1960s Selmer 1x18 Extension Cabinet*

It is with my greatest excitement I am posting this for sale. Recently I had a call from Con’s sons to say they were sorting through their fathers gear since he sadly passed away with COVID complications in April 2022. I went to meet them both and both were larger than life people and incredibly friendly and kind! I heard stories of their childhood with Con, amongst other stories. I walked away from that meet with a smile, and this Selmer too! Originally purchased by (or should I say given to) Con by Selmer themselves back when The Bachelors were up there with The Beatles. The Bachelors were a ‘staple of the 1960s pop scene with songs such as Diane and I Believe, in 1964 they were outsold in Britain only by The Beatles’ and they were the first Irish band to get a number 1!

It is an incredibly rare extension cabinet that was custom made for Con. Originally these cabinets housed 2x12 speakers, but this one was factory altered to house the original 1x18 speaker.  The extension cabinet has it's original cover and 18" Audiom 91 speaker inside. This amplifier is a piece of history, and a heck of an amplifier at that. Find another!
