Peavey 112 Headliner Cab

[jesterbass]

But no Peavey discontinued them and all the PVH cabs that were so well designed and sounded great. And anyone that has them is keeping them because they know what they have.

Are you referring to the PVH cabs or the Headliner 112? Since you owned a couple of Headliner 112s, could you describe what they were like tonally? What did you like/dislike about them?

They were solid and they actually sounded good . They Had good Highs but not too zingy and good lows but no Mud unless you put it there. and the Mids were articulate and a bit forward but not too much it helped cut through.

I just snatched what was probably the last Headliner 112 in a German webshop or perhaps the last 112 in Germany or Europe, who knows. Let's see what this puppy has in store.

The Eden cab is a bust. No bottom end, very middy. The peavey is exactly opposite. It's almost like a sub. Together they kind of worked.

Although now I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my Carvin amp. That Eden cab can't be that lacking in low end. I'll have to do some investigating. (And no I didn't accidentally have the crossover function enabled.)

Ok, so this is a throwback. But once I saw this I realized I couldn't let it stand. The Eden EX112 cab is actually great. The problem I experienced was my amp. It's a great sounding cab, but I have never gigged it. I am selling it online for the same price I got it for. I just have too much stuff now that my studio closed and much of it is now in my apartment.

Anyone who's interested in this cab, Peavey is selling a few brand new ones on Ebay right now.

I've been gigging with this dual-Headliner 112 stack for awhile now, and it's a beast, especially for cheap 40-lb. cabs. These are the earlier 400-watt versions. Although I lust after GR Bass Aerotech carbon fiber cabs. Their 1x12 weighs 18 lbs.

I have two of them I use with a Traynor YBA 100. It suits my needs. Might put some EV's in the cabs someday if I get a deal on them.

I'm pretty sure a speaker upgrade would be worthwhile. I like this particular cabinet shape; it's big for the speaker size, but that gets you more low end, and the front port projects it. I have a long-vanished Ibanez Promethean 110 that is very similar, just scaled down around a 10" neo speaker. It weighs 20 lbs. I use it with my 5-string fretless, and it handles the low B perfectly at jazz volume. I think it owes more to the cabinet shape than the stock speaker. I thought about swapping some Neos into the Peaveys, but it would only subtract 4 or 5 pounds. That would help. But I keep thinking about those expensive 18 lb. cabs.

Just came across a Headliner 112 locally for $85, could use it as a rehearsal room beater. Would be driving it with a TC BH250. Any reasons not to get it?

P.S. my gigging 1-12 is Bergantino

Get it. They are great, and not just for the price. Over all a cool cab
