New Vintage 4x12 Cab Day
« on: June 30, 2015, 11:18:21 PM »
Hey guys.

I sold my last 4x12 cab, an Orange cab from the 70s, as I just couldn't be bother with moving it around anymore and since then I've been perfectly happy with my Zilla Fatboy 2x12 cab with V30/G12H75 Creamback combo since.

A few months ago I joined a new band and they have their own practice room where we're able to keep gear, but I've had to keep taking my 2x12 there and back again as I also use it in my other band, which has started getting a bit tiresome if I'm honest!

So when a mate of mine offered up the cab below for £100 I thought I might as well, even if it doesn't sound that great it'll save me having to carry my cab around all the time



I believe the cab itself is 70s, and inside it were 4 Celestion Blackback G12H30s from 1976. Sounded really good with the Splawn  :grin:

Anyone have experience with these speakers?

Cheers.

Craig

I'd really like a vintage 4x12, but I have no idea where I'd put it(!!)

Yours looks like a sweet buy.

I'd like an old 320w JCM800 Marshall cab with G12-80s in

Sweet :D

Never tried the speakers but I'm guessing they're pretty good, and I'm guessing they suit the splawn nicely :grin:

Cheers guys.

I've used it for the last 2 band practices and the speakers in it really suit the Splawn. It's a very loud cab too!
