*** SOLD***

Thanks for looking :)

Hi Folks

Up for sale is my [b]Schroeder 21012 [/b]bass cab, bought on here almost a year ago from JPJ. I'm looking for [b]£240[/b] (plus p&p) or near offer for it.

To be honest, it's a lot less than I paid for it last year, but I realise that the market is very slow at the moment and that larger cabs are not so 'fashionable' any more, so it's priced hopefully to sell quickly.

[b]Reason for selling:[/b]
Although it's a great sounding cab (more about that below), I'm selling it simply because I now have too many cabs, having recently acquired both a 2x15 set-up and a very portable 2x12 set-up... And, with an SWR Triad as well (which I have no plans to sell), I now have three very different cab set-ups for gigs to choose from, and I'm only gigging once or twice a month as it is! And I'm mainly using cabs with 15s in them as much as possible, when venue space and my energy levels allow..

So, it's time for me to be sensible, make some space and hopefully, claw back a few £s...

[b]Photos:[/b]
Here's some photos which have my trusty Blade B15 in to give you a sense of scale (Blade not for sale of course):

[b]Technical spec, sound, etc:[/b]
Power handling: 1100w at 8 ohm

I'm going to quote JPJ who I bought this from last year, as his thread described the cab very eloquently indeed.. So with thanks to Kev in advance (see here for more info: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/219051-schroeder-21012-for-sale-sold-pending/page__p__2240092__hl__schroeder%2021012__fromsearch__1#entry2240092"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2240092[/url]):

[i]"If you've never heard one of these, you won't believe the 'room filling' sound you get from such a small box. The cab is 600mm x 600mm x 405mm deep (23.5" x 23.5" x 16"). I don't have an accurate weight for this but the old bathroom scales say its around 30kg."[/i]

I think Kev really has a point; this cab really does fill the room and offers fantastic clarity - especially as you use travel further up the fretboard and use notes higher up the register. As if to endorse that point, the only time I've ever had a comment about my bass sound (other than from a fellow bass player) at a gig during the last 4 or 5 years was when using this cab at a pub gig at the end of last year!

Weight-wise, it's nearer to 70 lbs to be honest, and the casters add extra weight too, but they make it so easy to move around, it's worth it!

[b]Full disclosure:[/b]
There is a bit of history to this cab, so in the interests of full disclosure, I'm going to again quote from Kev's thread last year:

[i]"Before going any further, a few things you need to know about this cab. I obtained this cabinet empty after a fellow basschatter received an exchange 'box' from Schroeder due to there being a small 'crack' in the bottom of the baffle. I have left this untouched and re-speakered (if that is a word) the cab with genuine Eminence Delta speakers (2 x Delta 10, 350w, 8 ohm, and 1 x Delta 12, 400w, 16 ohm) to give a combined 1100w at 8 ohm. The cab has the original Schroeder crossover and tweeter fitted and this has an attenuator on the back panel. This has been my 'small rig' cab for the last 3 years and has been gigged regularly, although it is in very good condition save for a few scratches to the plastic corner pieces. It is currently fitted with castors but can be supplied with the original rubber feet if you prefer. This is one of the original American series cabs that has the 12" driver mounted on the angled baffle."[/i]

Since I acquired the cab last year and especially after it made it's 300+ miles journey to me via DX Couriers, I was very keen to check the cab over and did notice some buzzing... So, in order to address that issue, I was very fortunate to be able to enlist the help of [b]chimike[/b] (who's a bit of an engineering whizz to be honest) and with Mike's help the cab was fully checked over to ensure that all the drivers were functioning as they should, and that all joints, baffles etc, were checked and filled with resin to ensure that there were no problems, rattles, or buzzing with this cab.

And I'm happy to say, since that work's been done, everything's working perfectly, and there's no buzzing.. So all is as it should be!

[b]Postage, collection etc:[/b]
First off, I'm more than happy to package the cab up securely and ship it out, which would probably cost between £20 and £25, depending on where it's got to be shipped to.

Second, anyone who's interested is very welcome to come and test the cab out and collect in person if they like it... Tea & biscuits available of course. :)

And lastly, this cab will be at the West Sussex Mini-Bash on Sunday, should anyone local want to come and try it out..

[b]Trades:[/b]
I'd rather sell to be honest, but a lightweight, inexpensive head to use with my new 2x12 cabs could be of interest??

Right, it's late and that's all I can think of to say about this cab for now, but if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or ask here..

Thanks for looking :)

Nik

Think this may well have been mine at some point. If all other buyers fall through bear me in mind Nik, wouldn`t mind this one at all.

I don't think so Lozz, I know the original owner who bought it new from Jorg and I was the second owner before I sold it on to Nik. It is one hell of a cab though, and if I had the space and money, I'd be joining the queue to own it again.
