Is this a Bag End 212?

[synterx]

For sale locally, $150. Doesn't look like a "real" cab, but a home made one. Any thoughts?

It doesn't look like a Bag End to me. Any pics of the back? Close ups?

[elgecko]

If it is, it's been modified. Those ARE the same speaker clamps on my S-15 though.

Are there two holes on the back of the cab for ports.. Looks like an old 212 that i had years ago.

Can't tell, only have this one photo to go on. You got to love the ghetto-grills. Is there supposed to be one solid grill over the whole front?

It could be, but I doubt it. Tough to say from the pic. Every BE cab I've seen from the "black spray paint" era had slotted corners, where this one does not. This one looks legit, though vastly overpriced:

yea, that could be ancient bag end cab, probably for PA use

Local GC has it as a bass cab...that's what caught my eye. I'll pass.

Funny thing is, Bag End is about 45 minutes up the road from my house, and I've never bothered to try one.

I had the same grills on my original BE cabs... and the original were all wood colored or painted black

the only bagend 2x12 I have ever seen was designed for infra sub use.

I was thinking they were early BE cabs. Someone was selling some of the early natural wood ones local to me recently and they looked very similar.

[svtb15]

I had a 212 a 215 and a 1218 BE just like them many years ago. early to mid 1980s...

Bottom line, them are some UGLY cabs.

Ugly, cheap, indestructible and they sound awesome. Works for me!
