sifi2112 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Hi all, Something a bit different here .. Got this cab I built using 16 x BOSE 901 series II 4 " speakers that I no longer had room to store & thought they might sound good for guitar, unfortunately they only sound 'ok' with electric guitar but actually do sound quite good with bass ! I know the speakers can handle lots of power as I used to drive them with an 800w hifi amp but although I have played this reasonably loud I haven't really been able to crank this cab to gigging volume so not quite sure how they will perform. Cab is made from void free 18mm ply (cept baffle board 12mm ply) & metal hardware inluding tilt back casters. Marshall cream tolex but finish here & there could be better, metal grille is the only real disappointment but I used what I had rather than buying a bespoke one (found a couple of companies do make these grilles if interested). Cab dimensions are 105 x 39 x 33 (h x w x d in cm) & +/- 33kg .. cab is 'sealed' as that's how the BOSE speakers were. Wired 8 Ohm Baffle board is only screwed in place so it could be changed into a 4x8 or 2-3way type cab (I was thinking about 4 Eminence Alpha 8 or FaitalPRO 8PR200 but they're expensive) I'm looking for trades & as I'm still after a guitar cab that would be my main trade (pref 1x12 with a decent speaker) but open to all trade offers as I just don't have the room for this. Prefer anyone interested to come & check out .. I'm in Bingley 07508211932 cheers Simon Edited July 15, 2012 by sifi2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Thanks but I've just ordered a Celestion (for home practice only as I don't intend gigging guitar) however I am looking at various distortion pedals .. the Blackstar ones look nice but haven't tried any out as yet .. want tight non fizzy metal rhythm tones for riffing, gonna play thru 15w (2w) valve amp, so possible pedal trades .... but open to anything really coz if I don't like I could possibly sell on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhay77 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That really does look great[i].[/i] Intrigued to hear that with a bass through it.I like stuff thats a little different,pity I have nothing to trade. Does it have the Bose active eq built in it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 No active eq's been sold ... cranked it a 'little' with GK700 at weekend but daren't go any louder as I was at home .. even seemed to handle low B ok. I'm not in a band at the moment so no chance to really hear it but my mate checked it out & gonna borrow for at rehearsal soon so will see how it performs ... would probably trade for Blackstar HT-DUAL btw ...
