deksawyer Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) These amazing little cabs will be for sale if I get the new cabs I'm looking at. 300w 8 ohm and 10kg each. Both are in pretty good shape, with a knob for the tweeter adjustment missing on one and a small bash on one of the metal corner protectors on the other. At 10kg these are stupidly light - everyone who's lifted them has almost put them through the ceiling because they braced themselves for a heavy lift! They sound great and are plenty loud enough - I've been using a Nemesis NA650 (which also is for sale). Never pushed hard as I always went through the PA a wee bit. The newer styled equivalents are priced at £649 each! I'm asking £500 for the pair plus shipping. cheers D. Edited October 8, 2008 by deksawyer
Bigwan Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 If I wasn't already GASing for a Status bass I'd have these in a shot. I have the 4x12 version and it's a total monster!
mr_russ Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I'm interested, have you got a shipping quote to mainland uk? R

Owen Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I played a 2x12 Tech cab at the bassbash and it was bonkers (in a good way).
d-basser Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 if my basses would bloody sell i'd consider them
thisnameistaken Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I'm umm-ing and aah-ing. I need a pair of 1x12s, but I don't know if it's these 1x12s. Umm...

deksawyer Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 If it makes any odds, I'm only selling these to get the newer look cabs, which are pretty much exactly the same spec as these! Call me Mr Vain if you want.... These have had approx. 6 gigs and maybe 20 rehearsals. I'm also getting a new replacement tweeter adjustment knob for the cab that currently doesn't have one. I'm a fool I know. D.
Raslee Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Where do you buy these cabs new from? A 4 ohm would be ideal for me! Do they handle low freq's well...i.e. Dub sounds??? Edited September 25, 2008 by Rasta

I frequently tune my 5 string down a step or drop the B down 2 steps and the 2 x 12 more than copes. I even went as far as tuning down a step and dropping the Bb down another step and it was still fine. I don't know about the 1 x 12 - it's a smaller enclosure, but the 2 x 12 has the drivers stacked vertically and has excellent porting.

However, for such small boxes the sounds they can produce are pretty amazing. As far as buying them new, any decent music shop can get hold of them if they have an account with Rosetti. The RRP is £649 each! D.

R[/quote] Russ, if you're interested in hearing how they sound, you're welcome to pop up and give my Tech 2 x 12 or mini 1 x 15 a bash to get an idea. Tech gear sounds amazing. I'm afraid I can't make it to the bash tomorrow - I have to give a short talk in London. Edited September 26, 2008 by bassbloke

Should go down quite well. I would have liked to pop along. Guildford is so much more convenient than Northampton and the Travel Inn probably smells nicer than a rehearsal studio.

deksawyer Posted September 26, 2008 Author Posted September 26, 2008 I've had PM's asking to split - so just to make it more public, if anyone wants just one cab, then please just reply here.... cheers D.
