Getting a Henry 8x8 today!

[Rockbobmel]

I have been looking at these for a long time. I have never had a chance to hear one (except when Tull played) live. I am not going to be able to test it, but I trust the seller. I have read a lot here and this cab sounds like it would fit the bill for my new band that does covers from Sheryl Crow to Led Zepp. The band is going to have a more moderate volume than my hard rock projects. I have an Eden 410xlt, but it is too low to the ground and my Mesa P1000 that I can't cart anymore with a Merc Sable. It is 4 ohms and I should be able to push it with either my V-4, GK 2000RB, or GK 800RB and get decent volume and definition. I play 5 strings, Dingwall, Spector, MMSray, and a Dean 12st, Fender Jazz4.

I really have no business buying more stuff, but the price is right at $400.


It has Chrome square grille and Speakons. I don't know how old it is.

Its a newer 8x8. Either version is good. Good score, especially the price. I would love to hear it with the 2000rb.

If I do run it with that amp, I may run just one side. 1000w is a lot! GK, 1000W!

Hmm...tru dat! Youll have to buy another Henry!

Played one once at a rehearsal studio. I remember liking it a lot. very tight/punchy.

I saw that one on the WMA craigslist and was considering it, but I just dropped $400 on one of those blowout Peavey VB-2 heads. I bet those two would sound swell together.

Henry w/ V-4 would be a great mini-SVT stack!

I figured it would go quick. I got no business spending the dough, but I'll sell off some other stuff and I got a few clams stashed for this kinda thing. I might dump my 2000S.

Roughing up the suspect

I really want to find a Henry in person to play through. Reading everyone's descriptions makes me want one, even when the opinion is bashing the unit.
