JPJ Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 So long story short, I first tried a Vanderkley 2x12 cab a few years ago over at Overwater in Carlisle. I was impressed by how âsmoothâ the cab sounded and itâs been on my âitch to scratchâ list ever since. As some of you might know, I have assembled all the components to build a Basschat 2x12 but Iâm so time poor at the moment that those components have been moved up to the loft âfor future useâ. So, when this came up for sale relatively close to me, I jumped on it. No chance to fire it up in anger yet, but I canât wait to hear my Ashdown Geezer head through this đ 11 Quote
M@23 Posted December 20, 2023 Posted December 20, 2023 I had one of these years back. It just sounded HUGE and it ate everything you could throw at it. I used a 900w and then an 800w amp and it didnât break a sweat, just got louder and louder. I always want to try a pair of them! I had a Glockenklang Blue Sky which gave a huge warm clean sound, that did 2.67ohms. Would have been silly but fun! Quote
msb Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Great cabs , impossible to find over here though. Quote
JPJ Posted January 7, 2024 Author Posted January 7, 2024 First chance to gig the Vanderkley today. Because some idiot (thatâll be me then) forgot to pack the reel of XLRâs we were back line only out front. The room was a moderate sized social club lounge sitting around 150 folk. The Vanderkley filled the room beautifully and the Ashdown Geezer was hardly ticking over đ 5 Quote

Youâve described perfectly the sound these cabs make. One piece of advice, experiment with the tweeter setting. I did my usual âdonât like tweeters, control all the way offâ and I was missing a trick. Itâs really possible to dial in the Vanderkley tweeter without it ever getting dominant or âspittyâ. Quote
