Title: NCD
Post by: marauder on September 23, 2011, 11:40:12 AM

I've picked up an oversized MJW 2x12 from HoratioCaine for use with my Jet City, sounds great, transportable, very well built, like all of Martin's amps and cabs.

Swapped one of the V30s for a G12H-30, and its even better.

I can see a new front panel in red for the JC soon.

Nice, it's a big ol' cab isn't it?  :)

Who is this HoratioCaine chap?  I happened to see his stuff on eBay last night, he's selling an MJW amp and a Guitar-of-the-Week SG which I think may also have once belonged to Martin?

Easy to deal with. Recommended.

He has a thing for red amps and cabs!

Looks nice. Great vintage vibe I am getting from it.
Also no wonder it sounds better with g12h30, they rock.

I've never known anyone else to own a Crate Powerblock...

I got it from someone on the forum.  It gets used for testing pedal builds, and bad bass playing.  Works fine with the 55Hz G12H in the 1x12 cab.

very nice :)

and yeah the red faceplate for the jet city would be the thing to do, presumably (as long as they're roughly the same shade, but presumably it's worth the risk as they're pretty cheap iirc).

I wanted to get one of those, for no reason other than my fascination with tiny amps.  But just when I decided to get one they were discontinued.

That is an awesome looking cab!.

What are the dimensions out of interest?

I have huge GAS for a vertical/diagonal 2x12

It's about 75x75x30 cms.

Would that be 4x10 size?

to be honest i have no idea what a general 4x10 size is.

Do you have any clips of this cab?

I'd offer to sell you mine, but I've lent it to a mate until he can afford a new amp.
