It's a 1x12 speaker cab, what do you expect it to come with? It's got a Line 6 custom Celestion speaker in it. I dont know, its built solid. It's an open back. 8 ohm. Black tolex, wicker grille. Nothing too special.

This is what surprised me. I've heard people say that these Celestion speakers made for Line 6 suck and are only supposed to be used with Line 6 amps. When i bought this (got a steal from Dave's Guitar Shoppe, highly recommended store here in Wisconsin) I was expecting to have to replace it with a Vintage 30, but i dont really see the need. This speaker sounds great with my Mesa Boogie Mark IV head. There is a little bit of farting out with low frequencies when cranked up, so I use the 30 watt setting on the head. Other than that though, this thing compares favorably with the 75t's in my 4x12 at the practice space. Perhaps it does have a flat response, but it doesnt appear to be a negative thing. I see no problems with it.

It looks really sturdy. The only problems I've ever had with Line 6 (owned a Flextone III combo 2 years ago) is their floorboard cables are wimpy with the USB port type connector. But the cabinet itself looks sturdy as hell. I'm not taking it touring so I'm pretty sure it should last forever and be perfect for home practicing and whatnot.

Never dealt with Line 6 so I wouldnt know.
Overall Rating

I've been playing seriously for a couple years, off and on for about 7. My amp as I said is a Mesa Mark IV short head, my guitar is an MJ Mirage Standard (shout out to everyone at MJ, check those guys out, incredible guitars), and I play shows with Avatar cabinets.
I think if you can get a steal like I got on it I'd go for it. I actually dont know the going rate on these bad boys, so maybe i didnt get as good of a deal as I thought, but either way, this is a solid cab and it sounds great with my amp. Its possible it has a flat response and responds really differently to different amps, so maybe my amp and guitar are having a good influence on the little guy. But I have no problems with it.
