NEW, 2005, HANDCRAFTED 2X12 CABINET MADE WITH CARE! THIS WILL WORK WELL FOR INDUSTRIAL, METAL, HARD ROCK, OR WHATEVER Y0U WANT TO THROW AT IT...THESE GUYS BUILD A GREAT CAB. I WISH THAT IT CAME WITH AN EXTRA PANEL TO CLOSE THE BACK FOR LARGER VENUES, THOUGH. THIS DOESN'T HURT IT'S PERFORMANCE, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE OPTION. IT COMES EQUIPPED WITH (2) V12-80'S CELESTIONS, AND THEY'RE VERY RESPONSIVE AT LOW AND HIGH VOLUMES...BOTH CLEAN AND DIRTY. WELL, AS CLEAN AS I CAN GET MY FRIENDS MESA BOOGIE TO SOUND THROUGH IT, AS IT SOUNDS WARM AND THICK THROUGH THIS CAB...I CAN'T WAIT TILL MY MARSHALL COMES IN TO TRY THIS!!!!! IT HAS AN INSET METAL HANDLE ON THE TOP, RUBBER FEET, NICE DARK GREY GRILLE CLOTH, AND GIBSON TOLEX PROTECTING THE OUTSIDE...BEAUTIFUL. THE OTHER BONUS IS THE SIZE. AT 28 5/8"W BY 9 1/2"D BY 16"H, THIS THING SOUNDS HUGE, YET WON'T STRAIN YOUR BACK LIFTING IN AND OUT OF YOUR CAR/TRUCK/VAN.

I'M CURRENTLY REBUILDING MY GEAR, SO I HAVE ONLY 1 GUITAR...A HAMER SUNBURST QUILTTOP W/2 EMG 58'S...OLD SCHOOL BEASTIES WITH AN OLD SCHOOL HEAD AND A KILLER CAB TO MATCH...FINALLY...I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THE RIGHT SOUND. MY MUSICAL STYLES RANGE FROM HEAVIER, DARKER INDUSTRIAL AND METAL TO TRIP-HOPAND THIS CAB PULLS OFF ALL OF THIS... THE MESA IS THE ONLY HEAD I'VE TRIED THIS WITH, BUT IT SOUNDS FULL ON CLEAN AND HUGE WITH DISTORTION. ONLY TRIED AT HOME AND AT PRACTICE SPACE, SO I CAN'T GIVE A LIVE REVIEW...SORRY

THESE GUYS ARE RESPONSIVE, FRIENDLY AND THEY BUILD A TOUGH PRODUCT THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME...SO..I HAVEN'T HAD TO HAVE SERVICE DONE AS OF YET, BUT THEY ARE HELPFUL AND GET IN TOUCH RATHER QUICKLY WHEN TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH. I LIKE THAT.

I'M COMING BACK TO THE GAME AFTER A HIATUS...MY BASS RIG IS FINISHED, HOWEVER MY GUITAR RIG IS BEING BUILT, STEP-BY-STEP...I RECENTLY PURCHASED A HEAD I KNOW AND LOVE FROM A FEW YEARS AGO...A MARSHALL ARTIST 30. I'M ALSO USING AN EFFECTS UNIT...AN OLD BOSS GX-700 AND THAT'S ALL. PLEASE DON'T EVER LET ANYONE STEAL MY CAB...I WOULD BUY AGAIN. IN FACT, I WILL BE BUYING A SECOND ONE NEXT MONTH TO RUN 4X12'S. AGAIN, I ONLY WISH IT HAD A SET OF CUSTOM BACK PLATES SO I COULD SEE HOW IT SOUNDS IN A MORE OPEN, STAGE-LIKE ENVIRONMENT OR FOR OUTDOORS. DON'T LET ME SELL YOU, GIVE ONE A SHOT FOR YOURSELF. EVERYTHING IS PERSONAL TASTE AND OPINION, AND I KNOW NOTHING IS PERFECT, BUT THIS THING IS NOTHING BUT POSITIVES TO ME.
