Ampeg v4b 2x15 cab

Altec 421a's or EV EVM-15L's. Been a real long time since I heard one so I can't comment on the different tones. Resale value on old cabs isn't great, even when paired with their matching classic tube amps, but if it has either Altecs or EV's in it, it's definitely worth considering.

 

Is this cab At Manchester GC? Just be aware that the speakers in this cab are rated at 75 watts RMS so if the theory of the rating being thermal max then it is rated for less than a hundred watts. And it is Huge and heavy.

 

I just traded that cab in Monday. The cab is very solid and both speakers are working like they should. One of them was reconed when I got it because it was toast. Just have to be careful how much you feed it. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or PM.

 

What kind of speakers are loaded in it, Train?

 

Altec 421S. Supposedly rated at 75 watts RMS but who really knows what they can handle. I used it with my V4B for a practice amp at rehearsal space mostly. But it was a semi soft hitting drummer and a guitarist that did not play very loud so it never got pushed.

 

Altecs? In that case, I'd be driving over right now to pick it up if I lived closer

 

Those come up for sale pretty often in the Seattle area. They seem to go for $3-400 in decent shape.

 

I had been trying to sell it for 2 years off and on lots of tire kickers but finally had to move it and they offered me 200 so now it is theirs. It is a solid cab all the seams were cleaned and re-glued it was missing its load plates so those were replaced along with seals. Even tried selling the altecs no bites. No tolex just flat black paint but all voids were filled and sanded ready to be re-sanded and tolexed

 

I'm also from MA. People there love to haggle. That sounds like a very good deal at $200.

 

I was trying to sell it for 150 and no offers on here.

 

I don't often venture into the for sale area with good reason.

 

There is no good for sale area right now unless you are buying.

 

I would think that'd be a terrific recording rig, if nothing else

 

I just scored a V4B cabinet ... it is somewhat bastardized, but what the heck for $250.00 ... what the hell .... it has some newer stamped frame delta's in it and the person threw in a old Acoustic 150 amp .. so I have a little project for the winter .. gonna load a pair of 3015's in it , as I already have them, just sitting around

Once again this reminds me of a fellow trying to sell an original V-4B stack for $5500...

 

I picked up one for $150 bucks with Altecs. I bought it because someone had given me a 197x V4B head and I wanted the original cab. It sounds great, but it is a beast to move. The V4B cab is way bigger and heavier than an Ampeg 8x10 cab. One of these days I'll find a reason to break both my SVT VR with 810 and the V4B head and cab. The 2x15 folded horn sounds glorious.

 

Me too.
