Me too - what is that bass in your avatar MarkusBass...?

Yes -- these are pretty custom cabs, but the Scout enthusiast will like them, I hope. The color combo is tasteful and should appeal. We'll see. I'm thinking asking $1000 for the pair. $1500 with amp. Thats the cost of a new 12 combo, alone.

Sounds like a great deal for the Walkabout 15 full stack in custom finish...good luck with the sale.

Thanks! I wonder If I could sell my 2 Walkabout scout cabs and headcase, or my my 2 Walkabout scout cabs and walkabout for that much. Love to have those!!

If I didn't just buy a pair of 15's I'd be all over those!

As for what they are worth, I dunno. The last few Scout & Radiator cabs that i saw were just the plain black ones, and I think they were listed somewhere around $400, with the price going down to make a sale. I don't think they were in 9/10 condition either.

You've sort of customized yourself into a corner with those, IMO.
The last few 15's I've seen flip went in the $350 range.

FWIW, I sold my Scout 15 combo cab (with a small cig burn on the top edge--not by me) for $400 last summer. That's as high as I've seen them go, though.

Those cabs are beauteous! They should certainly fetch more.

But wouldn't one cab be louder than the other?

The power to each driver would be the same so the limiting factor would be based on cabinet design. One cab would be louder only because it has twice the cone area and power handling however because all the drivers are getting the same power, they should balance out when linked together and perform very well.

Uh, not sure that is true. If you have one 4 ohm driver and one 8 ohm driver, are you saying they will each take the same wattage from the head? I thought that the 8 ohm driver would take 1/3 the wattage, thereby being less volume that the other cabinet. They are both the same driver size, etc.

The 4 ohm 212 cab is most likely made with two 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel. When you connect another 8 ohm 112 can in parallel you have effectively wired 3 8 ohm drivers all in parallel. Distributing the power evenly to each independent speaker evenly.
