Can anyone help me identify this Ampeg cab?

[Landry]

I have been looking for a while for a nice Ampeg cabinet. This is posted near to me and the seller doesn't have much info. Says it's 4x12 but doesn't know what speakers it's loaded with, when it was made, etc... Has anyone seen one like this before? I've done a lot of googling and haven't identified it. Any help is appreciated!

It could be a V4-412 but it looks a little too long/tall (though that could be a trick of the camera), and those were guitar cabinets rather than bass cabinets.

If it’s a 4x12 then I would think a V2 4x12. The V4 4x12 was square, the V2 cab was a tall rectangle, similar design to the B25 cab in terms of having the little front “ports” around the baffle.

Electronic states has a run down on these cabs which has some interior shots and some efforts around redesigning/improving the cab. Either way still a guitar cab.

This is good to know! I'm not looking for a guitar cab or a huge conversation project so I probably won't pursue this any further. Thanks folks!

thanks - my first thought was the V2 but I saw a few for sale that looked like they had the sort of… cut-corner bottoms or trapezoidal shape the 8x10s have. Either way, Ampeg has only made 4x12s for guitar AFAIK so it’s of no use to OP. Fun to learn about though!
