The_D Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Finally decided to get rid of my VBC412. Been trying (not very hard) for a little while now. Its the 400W@4ohm jobbie and is damn loud. Surprisingly the tolex is still in great nick but it has lost a castor along the way so I removed the rest. Will obviously include these in the sale or trade. Its just too big to hump to and from gigs so looking for something smaller to pair with my 2x10. Would take £150 or a trade for a 2x10 or possibly 1x15. Either would have to be rated at 4 ohms to match the rating from my Ashdown Superfly. It would be easier if you were at least from Scotland but could ship. Would prob cost more than a small African nation to do that though 'cause of the size. Can get some pictures for anyone interested on Sat night as its up in the pub we practice at.

mr pablo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If I had the cash mate I'd have it back from you, have a bump for a great sounding cab for a silly price IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_D Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Cheers mate. I'm fed up with it just sitting there doing nothing. I foned up guitarguitar about a trade in but they only offered £100. Really dont think its worth letting go at that. £150 is about as low as I am prepared to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I used to run 2 of these cabs in the Mk1 version of the Rig of Doom. They are awesome sounding things. Someone buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you reckon it would sound from my ampeg svp-pro? I'm looking for a sound that will cut through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt take any before cause there was no interest plus I got quite drunk last saturday when I was in the pub its kept in I will have a look through any gig shots to see if I have any from when I was using it. I cant say for sur ewhat it will sound like through an SVP as I have never had one. Its fairly boomy through my Ashdown but they are renowned for being quite woollie so its not much to go on. If Pablo chimes in again he used to use the very same cab through the Marshall Valve head and loved it. He only sold it (AFAIK) because he wasnt gigging at the time. Edited to add: With my old H¦H head unit. Will take some clearer ones on Tuesday. Edited November 6, 2008 by The_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pablo Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Aye thats right I only sold it due to the colapse of ma band at the time. It sounded great through my old marshal head and when I had a cheeky shot of it a month or so back with my current pre/power setup no 'boom' as such just plenty good low end.

fretmeister Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I ran mine with a SVP-BSP preamp and a Yammie poweramp. Sounded great - thick n sludgy and cutting - reacted well to the EQ. I only sold to downsize - my band had split. I'd have them again, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
