Avatar Owner's Club - part 3

[JC BASS 91]

Proud owner! I've had my B210 and B115 since around 2003. Run them off my Peavey FireBass 700 head.

I also have a "blemished" B410 that I paid less than the cost of the speakers in it. The "blemish" is in the second pic.

Love these cabinets and they've never let me down!

Going into my 17th year of using two Avatar B210 Neo cabinets in gigging/semi-touring bands.

I've driven these cabs with Mesa M-6 Carbines, Mesa Subway 800+, and presently with a GK MB Fusion 800, they've sounded great with each head.

They have proven to be great cabinets.

Picked up a used SB126 about a month ago. I'm really loving this cab. Powering it with this old Italian tube PA amp which was converted into an instrument amp. Sounds phenomenal!

I have an Avatar B212 that I bought used, blonde Rolex, 4 Ohm.

I can't seem to find specs on it anywhere, except a Chicago Music ad for one that mentioned it's 300 watts - but I used to own a 4 Ohm B112 that I seem to recall was 250 watts.

These are non-Neo speakers.

Can anyone shed some light on how many watts this is?

I can speculate what they should be, but I suggest your asking the owner of Avatar himself.

Go to avatarspeakers.com, send Dave a e-mail asking about the watts and wherefores of the 12" drivers that are loaded in your B212 cabinet.

(But since you bought it used, the drivers may not be the original Eminence USA drivers that were speced to be used in that enclosure.)

The Sb126 is really a remarkable cab. I purchased mine around 6 months ago to replace an Aguilar sl212 that I didn't bond with. The Avatar is better for me across the board. Drive and fuzz sound awesome through it and it has a lot of punch.

Someday I plan to grab a second cab but I haven't had too much reason to do that just yet because it is surprisingly loud.
