FS: Accugroove Bill Dickens Signature 212 Bass Cabinet (4 ohm)

This is a completely awesome cabinet. The Bill Dickens signature cabinets utilize beefier speakers allowing more push than any cabinet I’ve heard before. I’ve owned both the El Whappo and Whappo Jr cabinets and the Dickens cabinet delivers more chest pounding low end with a smoother, more defined mid-range. I’ve also tried several different varieties of the Bergantino cabinets and this one delivers better.

You may ask, if this is such an awesome cabinet why am I selling? It's the typical story... my gig has changed. I was playing in an rock band where higher volume was needed. Now I'm playing upright in church. The Accugroove is simply overkill.

Cabinet is in excellent condition with some wear due to minimal gigging. Also included is the factory supplied slip cover that has kept this cabinet babied along the way.

These sell for $1840 at Musicansfriend.com. I’m asking $1200 or best offer – shipping not included. Not interested in trades. Original shipping carton can/will be used.

From the website:
The Bill Dickens 212 is like a standard Accugroove cab, but with customized speakers and circuitry built to handle the extreme levels of punishment dealt out by the Buddha. It brings together 2 - 12" woofers, an 8" midrange, and 2 high-frequency tweeters in one unique, 3-way bass cab. The Bill Dickens 212 has the same premium construction as other Accugroove cabs, with each driver housed in its own indi vidual enclosure specifically tuned for optimal response. Accugroove uses premium 3/4" void-free plywood with traditional dado and rabbet joints. It also has the same steel vibration-free grille; self-resetting protection circuit for midrange and high-frequency drivers; stackable locking corners; comfortable recessed handles; reliable 1,000W crossover circuit; and removable casters, but has only 2 Speakon jacks for higher power handling.

Just realized that the pics didn't upload.

Also, this cabinet has been used with an Accugroove cover since original purchase.

Bumpin' for this bumpin' cab. I got to try one of these at the Bay Area Bas GTG last Feb. Mark Wright brought a truckload of AccuGroove Goodness. The Bill Dickens model was outstanding.
