Info on Bag End bass cab, please?!!

Hi all,

Just bought a used Bag End cab to go with my Markbass Little Mark 250 Blackline.
It's Bag End S12E-C that has 2 speakon jacks and also 2 banana jacks (no 1/4" jack).

I was told by the store that this 8 ohm cab was rated at 200W and should go perfectly with Markbass 250 head (150W at 8 ohm), and the cab sounded good.

BUT there is no wattage info written on the cab (it says 8 ohm, but NO wattage info), and I cannot find ANY info on this particular Bag End model anywhere on the web.
Again, it's S12E-C.

I will really appreciate if you have any info on this S12E-C model that you can share such as spec, especially wattage, production period, etc.
A thousand thanks.
 
I believe that is more of a sub woofer for sound reinforcement. As long as it sounds good it will work. Should be 200 watts but don't worry too much. If it sounds good, you are good. Bag End speakers can take more than they are rated for.

Specs for the current version.

Thanks for all your replies and info.
So it's not actually a bass cab but a subwoofer?
This S12E-C came to the shop where I bought it as a trade-in with a Markbass III head, so it seemed the previous owner had used it as a bass cab with Markbass head.
That's why I and also the shop assumed it was a bass cab and I thought it would be good to use with my Markbass Blackline 250.

But even if it is actually a subwoofer, if using it as a bass cab won't cause any problem, then I guess it's all good because my head though it sounds pretty darn good. :)

Thanks again guys.
Edit: WR is right. This S12E-C has a black carpet exterior.
