[SOLD] TKS Engineering 1126 - Tweed
£450

This is the newer rear ported model in a very pretty tweed finish. Pure Swedish quality and attention to detail. Frankly it’s the loveliest and potentially the last cab I’ll ever own. This has lived in the comfort of my home for the full duration of my ownership - I bought it from BassGear a couple of years ago but haven’t had the opportunity or need to gig it. A serious shame as it’s a real one cab solution and deserves to be used as nature intended!

Inside is a 12” woofer with a 6” mid driver - no tweet but that mid driver goes up to 9.2k. You get sweet highs, great dispersion and clarity in the mids with none of the harshness associated with tweeters. Labelled as handling 450 watts @ 8ohms but will happily drink more watts than that, especially if you’re running fairly clean sounds. In short, it’s likely that your head will run out of steam long before this cab starts to sweat.

Includes the very nice padded TKS cover which fits like a glove.

Collection or meet up in/around London as I just won’t risk putting this in the hands of couriers.

 

Info from TKS:

Small and light, but with impressive lows and a clear mid range, the 1126 offers a tone few other cabinets do, and many bass players using the 1126 have finally found "their" tone. The great dispersion from the 6" speaker doesn't require tilting the cabinet to get clear mids up at ear level, and also spreads mid range clarity evenly across a stage, making more of the bass tone reach the audience and fellow musicians. Even though the 1126 has more mid range than most tweeterless cabinets, it can easily be altered through EQ to give a more "vintage" tone.

This looks like a fantastic cab Cameron - I love the concept of a 12" and 6" speaker and at 33lbs weight this is incredibly portable; I would have definitely wanted to A/B this against a VK 210 when we met up at Bass Gallery in Camden, if you'd had it up for sale then. I'm not the least bit sure which one would have won out; I suspect it would have been the toss of a coin!

Knowing you, this will have been really well looked after - it looks pretty 'mint' in the pics?

I think these are around £700 new, so it's on at a very fair price. Someone is going to get themselves a great cab. And I have no hesitation in recommending Cameron as a great person to deal with.
