SWR Big Ben F/S

I've got a Big Ben single 18" cab I have to let go of. I like this cab a lot, but a Peavey 1810 just dropped into my lap for free, so I can't justify keeping both.

This is a nice 18 - very efficient and surprisingly full range. The driver must be incredibly fast. But it bangs out some pants-flapping low end when you want it. Not too difficult to handle - 73 lb - not an ultra heavyweight, but you'll appreciate the well-placed handles. Casters might be a nice addition, but I haven't felt the need.

I'm the second owner, but the cab's in very nice shape. Very well cared for, non-smoking environment, corners and carpet show minimal wear, grill is in nice shape (reflection off the chrome makes it very hard to photograph). Not sure of the year, but it only has 1/4" input jack, so probably not on the newer side.

Specs:
400w power handling (pretty effiecient - you don't need to overpower it to get plenty of air moving)
8 ohms
23”W x 30.5”H x 18.5”D, 73 lbs.

I'd like to get $350, plus shipping but would consider offers. PM me. I'm in Milwaukee if you want to save on shipping.

Great cab and wish I never sold mine.

It's killing me to let this one go. I had a Bag End S18B-D for a while and I like this one better. Tempted to hang on to it, but the wife is getting all practical on me...

Pre-weekend bump. Played the cab at an at-home rehearsal last night stacked with a 212 on top - with a 210 or 212, this thing could kick a hole in your stomach.
