Billy Apple Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) [u][b]FOR SALE[/b][/u] One 4ohm 400watt Matamp 212 custom built cab in black basket weave tolex with white piping and salt n' pepper grille cloth. Loaded with Celestion BL12-200-X drivers. [u][b]SPECS[/b][/u] 4ohm 400watt and loaded with these bad-boys.. [url="http://celestion.com/product/39/bl12200x/"]http://celestion.com...ct/39/bl12200x/[/url] 73cm high, 55cm wide, 37cm deep 29Kg The cab is not ported, but not technically sealed/infinite baffle due to the removable rear panel. Jack connection, but Matamp can send Speakon if required. [u][b]PICS[/b][/u] [u][b]SPIEL[/b][/u] I had two of these cabs custom built for me along with my GT200. I have to be honest and say at the time I was suffering from a 'I want a proper valve amp with two cab rig' mid-life crisis. So I eventually had the head and cabs delivered which stood 5'10" in my living room! Whilst full-filling my boyhood fantasies (well, one anyway) I have never utilised the rig with both cabs, and one of them is as good as unused, and has stayed un-touched in my lock-up. Absolutely great sounding, but I only need one, so I'm letting one go, and you will get the unused cab. (TBH both cabs are immaculate). Essentially you will be getting a brand new cab. It is beautifully crafted by Jeff Lewis at Matamp, very old school in style and sound with the Ferrite Celestion drivers. The drivers are not standard for the 212 and were custom fitted for an up-charge. As was the grille cloth which is a cotton two strand weave not horrible skinny nylon (like you'd get on a costlier Hiwatt cab). Cheers!

Billy Apple Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've been on the phone to Matamp. They are going to send me a new rear jack plate with Speakon connections. So you can have either speakon or jack input to the cab.. Whichever you prefer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
