Short version, just scroll down to pics.
Brief backstory- July 13th I ordered this KRUNCH 4x12 cab, used from GC ($550, ~$630 w/tax and shipping) I think from New Orleans, and July 26th the wrong item was taken off the truck at my local Youngstown (Boardman OH) GC, and this baby went by-by for a while, ending up in Texas before being shipped back here.
I was gonna wait until I added the casters and side handles to post my NCD, but the urge to share overcame. (Seems someone added strap handles on the sides and one on the bottom, but I'll probably replace the side ones with the large new metal ones)
It's set up for tilt-and-roll, but I prefer to just roll it- I have no steps to deal with here, a trailer with a ramp, and with side handles and help I can just lift when needed at a venue. It's ~95lbs, so not bad for a 4x12.
First I took the grill off with the intentions of taking a speaker out and checking to see that they're correct, but I don't have the little square socket in my little case of what I thought would cover all of them, but they looked good, and didn't appear to have been messed with, so I figured I'd just go ahead and try it out.
So I put the bass through it, and I'm quite happy.
Yesterday for band rehearsal, just for the heck of it I broke out my little Peavey MiniMAX 600 that sits in the trailer as my backup, so since it was right there, I just moved it on top of this, and with the settings I was already using (may as well call it flat), little HPF there set at ~50hz, I instantly got the tone I want, and liked better than though 2x15 cab I was using. I LOVE THE VOICING OF THIS CAB!
I played with the EQ and it can get plenty deep while retaining clear, articulate notes, but flat, I know it's the tone I need for live.
And it does get LOUD- hitting it with 600-watts (assuming cab is 4-ohms), but only in this 16'x18' room with three open doorways. I've played all my cabs in here and live, and there's never been a notable discrepancy in tone.
Note that I never push any of my amps/cabs hard- I always bring more rig to the gig than necessary to reach the desired volume so nothing is every stressed.
Below I'll also post a video of one (well, actually two) of these in use (found by another TBer @MarkA in the initial thread where I was asking for any info on it)- they could be ordered in various colors and grills, but it's the same cab.
I planned to go to the hardware store and get the bolts/washers/nuts I need to install the side handles and casters, but the casters I have will raise it 5.5 inches, and I'm thinking that might look silly, so maybe I'll go get smaller ones.
During the time I was waiting I had three outdoor gigs where I could have taken it, but I happen to have one more next Tuesday... we'll see what happens.
The cab in action for the guy it was originally built for.
Mine- they're offered in choices of colors and grills. Edit: these pics look more blue than the actual cabs.
And I have two of these 5.5" stickers I might stick on it.
