Opinion needed on this cab, please.

[Lance Bunyon]

I stopped reading at 95 lbs. I'm 145 lbs. Turning 57 in 2 weeks.
In my 20s I regularly gigged with 100 lb + cabs.
Those days are over.

Well, my heaviest cab to date is 78lbs...

but from where my gear lives (that isn't already in the trailer) and the trailer ramp, there are zero steps,

and at the gig I have lots of help with everything (I'm also the PA guy).

so in my case it's not so bad.

That said, I don't blame you a bit, big/heavy just isn't needed anymore.

I drive like an old man...

turn signal was probably on the whole trip.

That’s not how you spell crunch. For that, I’m out.

That's not the korrect spelling?

I saw a local bakery "Kake Kraft Korner", ummm, no thanks.

We had Kaye’s Kake Kitchen “We’re flaming good” as a child. No joke.

Here is a Youtube video of Greg Chaisson playing through the 2x12:


Here is another of him playing through what looks like a couple of the 4x12s mentioned here:


Dude can get around the neck (not that that, in itself, makes the cabs any better or worse). Looks like an SVT used with the cabs in each case.

They certainly look like solid options for a SVT user visually.

I have a 412 cab that I'm guessing weighs close to the 200lb mark (with cover) It was built 50+ years ago using an anvil type case with heavy CTS speakers (50 watts each) so only a 200 watt cab (used it with a 90 watt Peavey head) At least It has good strong wheels underneath, but only had to move it three or four times in over forty years.

So under a 100 pounds is pretty light for a 412. Even better that you have help when at a gig.

Here's some pics of it

I had a roommate in the Army whose initials were the three K’s. His two siblings had the three K’s. He claimed his parents weren’t racist, but come on.

Awesome that you found and posted these...

Makes me feel better.

Hope you dig the cab - report here, when you've had some time with it.

When I was a kid, my dad told me that Roman soldiers would train with sword and shield heavier than they'd use in battle, so that on the day of battle their arms (weapons and limbs) world feel light and they would not tire.

Why your rig recalled that story to me, I don't know, but I feel like it needs a comic book origin story involving a volcano and The Immigrant Song.

Whatever you do, don't let it fall into the wrong hands.
