EA - VL 208

VL's do, in the circles of people who still use and love them. like me I have a pair of VL110's.

208's seem to be the most desired of the VL line as well. But I dont know what that translates to, re: high prices. Do you have one you're thinking of selling?

 

I have an old VL210, love it when I'm playing through it, hate it when I have to lift it into my hatchback

 

thats why I like the 110's. theyre heavy, but small. So theyre pretty manageable, even though they feel like they must be filled with lead when you pick one up, for a 110 that is. If it were a 210 I'd have a hard time justifying keeping it, solely based on the weight. I've gotten spoiled with neo goodness!

 

I've a friend who's a doghouse player. I've given him my VL-208. Loved that thing, but 'twas getting too heavy.

I hope he puts it to good use (but he's older than I am, but of stronger back, so we'll see).

 

Up until about 3 years ago stacked Vl 208s were my go-to speaker setup, then I made the switch to what most would consider low-tech 1x15 and 2x15 cabs paired with low watt old heads Sunn and Acoustic. Still I have fond memories of the 208s.

I have two VL-208’s and will buy as many as I can find. Best bass guitar cabinet ever made, in my opinion. (I also own a CVL-110, two VL-110’s and a VL-210.)

Prices (when you can find them) are about half or less of what you pay for new present-day cabinets with comparable performance. Weight is also quite a bit greater, but that’s what dollies are for.

 

the vl208 was an inspiration for my newest 8" speakers

 

I have great respect for these cabinets. They are also an incredible Double Bass cabinet. VL 208’s are pretty heavy by todays standards, but if you have a dolly and a van the sound they reproduce is worth it.

Their are likley only about 50 of them out there. They went out of production in less than two years.
