TKS S112 (x2), compact and lightweight cabs + padded covers £285 each or £550 both *** SOLD *** £600

[mcnach]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I got two pairs, yes, two pairs, that's FOUR of these little beauties...[/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I thought that a pair of these ultra light and portable and beautiful sounding cabs couldn't possibly be loud enough, so about a week after I got my first pair I had the chance to buy another pair and went for it.[/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As it turns out, four speakers are a LOT of fun, but it really is not necessary as two of them do get a lot louder than their diminutive size suggests and work just fine for me (and 4 of them kind of defeats the purpose of having a portable rig [/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif])... so I'm letting the black pair go.[/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They are very good sounding cabs (in my opinion, which is why I keep one set). They can be used on their side or vertically, as they have feet on both side and bottom.[/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They do not have massive lows when compared to bigger cabs perhaps, although respond well to boosting them at the amp a bit. They have something going on in the low mids that gives them a presence I love. They have lots of definition and sound punchy and full, without getting boomy. I love their sound. I use a Stingray mostly, but also Precisions, and both work really well through a MarkBass LM3 or a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 and these cabs. I actually prefer the LM3.[/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They're extremely light and easy to carry anywhere. I use one of them alone for most rehearsals and as a stage monitor. For rehearsals, placed on the ground, with a band comprising three guitars, drums, trumpet and sax, it was plenty with the LM3 not being pushed hard at all. I used two of them for loud rehearsals (RATM covers band) in a very large room, and they behave beautifully. They'll easily work by themselves without further support in small bars (except in a Motorhead covers band, perhaps [/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. I've played many gigs using a MarkBass CMD121P combo with an extension speaker, and these will work probably as well, but sound better.[/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Anyway, here they are.[/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They are in excellent condition and come with very nicely padded TKS covers.[/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]These would cost you £414 each (£369 + £5 extra feet for vertical configuration + £40 cover), so £828 total.[/font]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll let them both go for £550.[/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Great cabs. I just don't need 4 of them.[/font]

Damn! If these had come up a month ago...

[FuNkShUi]

Brilliant cabs.
If someone is from the South and wants to try these out before buying, you'd be welcome to play through my two.

It's a tough market at the moment...

Great price! I'd have these if I wasn't already happy with my two cabs

It is!

I'm also happy with 2x S112 and 2x BB2. Either set fits nicely in my boot and sound great. I lean towards the S112 for sound, even if the BB2 is still pretty cool I marginally prefer the S112.

Hello I'm interested in the cabs, where are you based?

I'm in Edinburgh.

[mcnach]

weekend bump.

£550 for both, or £285 each (plus postage if required)
Could possibly deliver/meet half-way if reasonably close to Edinburgh... say within 90min drive from Edinburgh or so.

[mcnach]

these superb speakers are still here...

If I were closer to you (happens to me with EVERYTHING I like on the sale forums) I'd be interested in giving these a quick go now my Orange cabs have (almost) gone.

Then buy them! At this fantastic price, even if you don't like them you could sell them on for what you paid... That's what I would do. These cabs are small enough that you could even pop up to Edinburgh on the train and bring them back as hand luggage!

Just trying to be helpful

Thank you Conan Everything you said is, of course, true. But they're no longer for sale as a local bass player took them away last night.
