Hi I'm going to be getting a VJ next week and although I would rather get the head and cab than the combo, but are there any decent cheap cabs that would work well with it.
Alternatively for money reasons I could just get the combo for now and then later on down the line get a decent cab can use the VJ combo as just a head - but isn't there limits to this because it only has a 6ohm output? Are tehre any decent cabs that work with 6ohm outputs?
-
VJ combo has a 4ohms out. For the head check the Framus FR212CB (300€) or even the Harley Benton G212 Vintage (200€) on thomann.de (http://www.thomann.de). those 2 use Celestion V30.
-
You could get a matching VJ extension cab. I've seen them on the internet for $130.-. Musicians friend, I think.
I still haven't seen them Europe, though.
-
The VJ head has 4,8 and 16 ohm outputs (and 4ohm valve can drive 8 ohm without damage)
Have you consider the Vox V212BN 2x12 cab for £150 - it has Wharfedale copies of G12H's designed by Mr Grindrod himself.
-
I'm currently selling my 16ohm Marshall 2x12 if you're interested. It's smaller than a full 2x12 and would be great with a VJ:

-
how much you selling for?
If I get the combo and then save up a bit what options of cabs do i have with the 4ohm output? Sorry I just don't quite understand this whole 4 ohm business and I think it's daft that the VJ combo is the same price as the VJ head.
-

£150...
-
bit to rich im afraid, my budgets 165, take out 85 for the head - i suppose ill just get the combo for now.
So what cabs can work with a 4ohm output? for the future!
-
btw, anyone know if its possible to get Avatar cabs in Europe? I hear good things...
-
just to add my two cents, I don't really like the sound of the VJ with v30's... or at least my laney tt 4x12 with v30's... worth bearing in mind, i guess.
if you can find that epi cab anywhere, it might be worth a try... it certainly suits it in looks, seems to be a decent price, and on paper sounds good. would be worth a try to see if it's any good, at least.
-
oops double post
-
can i just get this question answered please cos I'm a bit confused....
If i get the combo and have just the 4ohm output .... does that mean I can't use it with most cabs? Do i need to use a special kind of cab with it? Are there any cabs that would work with it???
-
You can use any cab with a 4ohm input. There's loads of choice out there depending on budget, speaker preference etc.
-
yeah. obviously you have more choice with the head, though. but yeah, i doubt you'd be stuck. i went head because I already had a 16 ohm cab (plus it looked cooler). :lol:
-
thats great guys thanks for clearing that up
-
if you want a smaller marshall cab, look for a 1965 a or b. its a 4x10. i got mine off of ebay for a whopping $150 us dollars. thats what, like 80 pounds (or whatever the hell you crazy britains use)?

Pretty much, but the fact the matter is the way things go $150 = £150.

I know a couple of folks who have bought from these guys, ok you will have to find your own speakers, but you won't end up with a load of cr@ppy chipboard that some 'Name' mfgrs would sell you

Got to have it. I'm starting saving today. Guess I won't be going to the bar for a couple of weeks.
