1-2x12 cabs

[Nolly]

The black tolex orange cabs are the best looking cabs i've ever seen!

Can't explain how good it sounds either!

[JDC]

I've not got much experience of different cabs but based off other people's opinions for a 2x12 cab for metal I'd say something well made, closed back, with vintage 30 speakers, I'd suggest orange, engl, or bogner, (I only have experience of the engl)

i have to say seeing that black orange cab - it does looks suprisingly sexy. hmmm its orange or engl i suspect at this point. very hard to decide

[Nolly]

I can't recommend the Orange enough. It has a very full and tight sound, which should work nicely with the bright Laney.

[Dave_the_rave]

is it easy enough to get a black orange?

[Nolly]

Well, any Orange dealer can order them at no extra charge, but you may have to wait a bit for them to actually make it. Mine took a little over a month to arrive.

 I'd seriously have a look at Matamp cabs. About the same price as an Orange cab. Very, very nicely made, and you can choose your tolex AND speakers.
  Martin at Martamp (http://www.martamp.com/) may be able to get you exactly the same cab, but slightly cheaper. It's worth a chat to him - he works at Matamp too by the way.
  I have a Martamp (but made by Jeff at Matamp) rear-ported 2x12 (very similar to the THD cab). It's a very nicely made cab, and sounds great.
  The beauty of a rear-ported design is that you can get the "thunk" of a closed- back cab, but in aslightly smaller, more portable package.

whats wrong with it bob? :P

You suspicious sod; :) There's nothing wrong with it except for the G12T-75. It's just gathering dust and taking up valuable space.

[Dave_the_rave]

ooo ok - well can you wait until around the 20th for me to pick it up?

Sure, no problem. Get in touch when you're ready.

I'm thinking about getting a second 2x12 myself so I can use one cab if I'm short of space in the car or both if I'm not.

Has anyone tried the flat-pack cab from here...

Thanks for the link. I had no idea they existed. Anyone know where they are in the UK ?   Those flatpack kits look very interesting, espec the 1x12 - nicely oversized. Great price too !
