GreeneKing Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) My old rig, an EA iAmp 800 (the model with the built in Sabine tuner) 4 EQ parametric in good and fully functional condition and two CXL 112 cabs (one is an EV and one a 'II' but they are both 8 ohm and have a tweeter and pair magnificently). The cabs are in very good condition too and include Roqsolid covers. The head is currently in a Gator hard case as per the photo. This rig functions superbly as is. The cabs actual impedance is less than 8 ohms, an EA anomaly that means that some heads can overheat or cut out (Markbass). The head goes down to 2 ohms so suits the cabs perfectly. This is one very articulately sounding rig for the bargain price of £600 collected. I can meet up or deliver a reasonable distance. I even have a spare concentric tweeter if I can lay a finger on it.

GreeneKing Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks Alex I'm glad you appreciate it I don't want a long drawn out sale I'd just like to see it go to a good home.

niceguyhomer Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Hi Pedro, I have one of these cabs, love it and wouldn't mind another. Hope you're well mate
GreeneKing Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 All's well here Alan. How are things down South? I've gone and bought one of Dave P's EAD cabs, hopefully give it a proper test this week. Using it with a Markbass F1 head. Peter
Owen Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Is there a good reason not to buy this?

If I had not just spent almost twice this much on a 1x12" + Micro head rig I would be all over this like a bad rash. Gutted beyond.................. I used to gig one of these 12" cabs and they are just great.
Merton Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I guess you're wanting to sell as a whole rather than split, Peter? Something rather alluring about those cabs....
molan Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Seems like a crazy price for something as nice as this! If you were nearer to me I'd definitely go for it. Used to run an EA combo 350 with one of these 1x12 as an extension cab. Sounded great and always confused the hell out of drummers who couldn't work out how so much bass came from such a compact rig, they were always looking for a hidden sub somewhere

I reckon that the impedance of the two 112's is nearer 2 ohms than 4 and the amp thrives on this. Peter

I met up with Peter at Perry Towers one afternoon where this rig went through it's paces and it is sweet. To me EA Cabs really bring the iAmp to life. good luck with the sale Peter.
franzbassist Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I am coming around to the opinion that the CXL112 is my favourite gigging cab - the perfect balance of size, power and tone. I love these cabs. I'd take them if my Ashdown Mini Neos would sell.
geoffbassist Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I use 2 12" wizzy cabs and that they are so portable and sound great. This is a great rig!
