Marshall VBC 4X12 Bass Cab

Bought from fellow BCer 4 months ago but now downsizing:
Delivery may be possible but courier would be very expensive but collection from NE or York also welcome.
• These are currently £510 new and that is the cheapest you will find a new one in the UK (GAK etc have just dropped the prices down from £550).
• This cabinet is rated 400W at 4 ohms, this means that it will take the majority of heads in use today, and that you will not need (nor would you want) another cab to get anymore oomph from your amp. - If you are unsure of what works with your head or how this will suit it then don't hesitate to ask, I don't mind explaining!
• It has four 12" speaker cones, this is bigger than your average 4x10 (for better bass), but isn't restricted to the muddy booming of a 1x15. This results in a serious wall of sound. This thing is LOUD. You'll never struggle for volume in a gig, but still produces beautiful sounds at low levels for practicing. I think it sounds great and IMO it works really well with a Mesa Boogie head, and obviously a Marshall VBA so it's a versatile beast.
• It's 49kg, that puts it on the heavier side, but it is perfectly easy to carry between two people with the comfortable handles which are firmly embedded in the side of the thing.
• The previous owner fitted his own set of castors to the bottom. These things are sturdy and as robust as anything.
• There is some minor Tolex damage to the edges (not caused by me). I superglued the material back flush (in two very small locations), I reckon some black nail varnish over the crack where the small tears were would render it damn near invisible. Great condition besides that!
• The web site says "it features two separate sealed chambers which help to prevent unwanted cabinet resonance while adding to the structural integrity of the unit. It is also lined with sound absorbent wadding to further help dampen internal resonance."

You know you want it !

A bargain at £250

I had one of these, and the sound from them is immense. Fairly sure I put a review on here about it. I don`t think I ever needed any of my amps on more than 3 when hooked up to my VBC 412, playing in a punk band with 2 guitarists. Cracking cabs, and a great price.
