2x12 Speaker cab - lightweight, compact design - made of pine with birch ply baffle board. Heavy duty tolex impeccably applied. Very well constructed. Comes with large rubber feet for the bottom. Jeff will also accomodate you and install 4 more feet on the vertical side so you can use the cab as either horizontal or vertical cab.

Excellent cab quality. The cab came unloaded so I had the choice of placing whatever speakers I wanted into the cab. I have 2 of these cabs and one uses 2x12 of Eminence Red, White and Blues speakers. The other has a mix of Celestion G12H30 Anniversary and Celestion G12H Heritage speakers. Both cabs sound excellent. Even though the cab is made of lightweight pine and is a compact design the sound is anything but lightweight. These cabs have a nice resonance and big sound to them. I have played with many 2x12 cabs that were larger and heavier and they just don't sound as good as Jeff's cabs. It's amazing how well they sound with nearly any speakers you want to install into them.

Jeff's cabs are very well made. Even after heavy duty gigging, the tolex remains in excellent condition, no 'peeling' or loosening and there are no rattles or any noises that can happen with poorly constructed cabs. These cabs easily hold up to gig conditions and all sorts of transport and travel.

Jeff is there for you. Either by phone or email. He will also build custom cabs, if it can be thought of, he can probably build it for you. His work is first class all the way.
Overall Rating

There are many 'boutique' speaker cab builders out there charging outrageous prices for their cabs. Jeff does not charge outrageous prices and his cabs are not only every bit as good as far more expensive cabs, they are much better. They hold up to day to day use and night after night gigging. They sound good without any problems. Nothing comes loose or wears out or anything. Jeff's cabs are the best in the business. They truly are an amazing value. You'll be using his cabs for a lifetime of playing through them.
