Sign in to disble this ad
Hey just put two Bag End cabs on hold today. They're both 4x12 straight cabs. Here's the thing...I have no idea if they are Guitar or Bass cabs (either does the store). I tried calling Bag End haven't heard anything back. Did Bag End make a 4x12 bass cab? Here is a pic.
Both 8 ohms.

How deep is the cab ?
Just on looks alone, I would say that the cabinet size is way too small for bass

Their web site has the same models under the guitar category as well as the bass category. They might be intended for both. I would look for ports as a clue.

Thanks for the insight. What should I look for with the ports? |

I use and old late 70's peavey 4x12 that is sealed and it's a bass cab. It's my favorite cab I have ever owned. Try em out they might be cool.

|  | Non-Registered, Un-Licensed Imposter Member | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Eugene, Oregon | | | There were 8 or so of these (Deep Red IIRC) on Ebay several years back listed as bass cabs. I have a 2x12 Deep Red that works great for either bass or guitar. They are also stonking heavy, around 145 pounds or so. My 2x12 is 70+.
I'd LOVE to hear one. If it's anything like I would imagine 2 2x12s together would be then they are monsters.
When are you supposed to receive them? |

The pic of the speaker is taken through the port directly behind it. Each speaker has one about three or so inches in diameter. Most certainly a bass and guitar cab.
email mrknowitall@bagend.com with the serial numbers. Dan Saraceno is his name and he's always answered my inquiries in a day or so, and is very thorough and a pleasure to chat with. |
