Casters for GK Neo 212-II

[glenb73]

Anyone know what specific casters would fit for a GK Neo 212-II cabinet? I see a generic casters set sold by Ernie Ball but not sure if that would fit. I sent out an email to GK a few days asking this question but heard nothing back from them and figured maybe someone here would know.

Thanks $30 plus shipping is pretty steep, I wish they would have given you the specs on these casters I could probably get them at Home Depot for like $3 a wheel. That's probably what I'll do , just go to a hardware store and if they don't fit, return them.

Glen, did you end up finding some generic casters at Home Despot, etc. which fit into the factory slots on your Neo 212-II? Or did you end up going with the Ernie Ball set? I've got the same cab and I'm looking for a set that will pop into the existing holes without any modifications.

GK casters are $30 and out of stock on their website, and I've heard complaints that they're not high quality.

Thanks

I got mine at Menard's (like a lowes or Home Depot) for a 2 or 3 bucks a piece (cant remember exactly). They are just generic ones and they fit perfect and stay in fine. The diameter is 2". The factory sticker on them says 2" stem, load rating 80 lbs, item no. 4030255 . The UPC barcode no. is 0 74523 0032 2. I love the GK neo 212II by the way.

I bought a new GK cab cheap , it came with those casters. I flipped the cab for like 100$ profit and used the casters on my main gig cab , as of today 1 of the 4 is busted from gigging lightly over a year. I wouldnt pay for them.

Thanks very much for the details Matt, I found it on their website...

Armed with that info, I imagine I can find something similar at Lowes. I appreciate the help.

Oh, sweet. I have a Menards right by my house; "ship to store, free."

I ended up getting these... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/ernie-ball-pop-out-amp-caster-set?tandt_rdir=1

... they were $20 at Guitar Center. The pop-out casters DIDN'T fit into the existing receptacles on my Neo cabinet, however the receptacles that came with the set DID fit in the holes in the bottom of the cab no problem, and the holes for the wood screws lined up exactly with the old ones. It took less than 10 minutes to swap them out, needing only a screwdriver to do the job (no drilling required), and I'm happy with the purchase.

So, if you don't mind swapping out the receptacles on your cab, this Ernie Ball caster set is a direct replacement for the GK hardware. They seem solidly made, and thus far I'd recommend them.

Bumping an older thread here! The links in the entries above (mostly) no longer work. Anyone have any tips on readily-available (Lowes, HD, Menards, etc.) casters that fit into the GK Neo cabs? Thanks!

Here’s what I used
