Musicman20 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I have to say...for the first time ever I feel like we all have got really lucky....sure GG have made money somewhere on this gear...and someone may have lost out, but this stuff actually is BRAND SPANKING NEW. I came home today to find the M212 in a very well padded tecamp box. Its even got the original box, a manual on how the speakers 'work', and the cab had corner protectors and a bag over it. Sure its been taken out to be checked, but wow is this perfect. Ampeg really have been beaten by the Germans in terms of quality of 'old school' design; the fake leather is VERY nice, the corners fit flush, the back panel is clear, the handles work well, the front grille looks awesome, and the two poles next to the grille look great. I haven't tested it as yet, just took it out and inspected it thinking itd be scuffed etc. Thank god its 4 ohms, and yes, its the lightest cab in this size ive ever experienced. I got it up the stairs on my own! Its also solid as hell.

You have alot of other gear that is similar to the cab you got, which you could've added to the combo for an even bigger rig if needed, and still be lightweight Edit: Sorry, you only have the Aguilar 212 and that isn't really lightweight. Fair play to you then my friend! Edited October 29, 2009 by Lew-Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would have struggled to ever get a 2x10 Cab in 8ohms at such a low price again If that Puma 500 head came out I would have bought it straight away. Yep...its my first light cab and its pretty small considering what I was expecting. I love cabs! Next step next year is finding another nice lightweight amp....maybe a Puma 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it on here before, where someones taken a saw to a combo with very pleasing results, and as they weren't too bothered about re-sale value, they created a functional combo, stand alone cab and stand alone head out of the one unit. Just gotta be brave and have some know-how really, as is with many things in life. Unfortunately, I haven't much of either Edited October 29, 2009 by Lew-Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, then it shouldn't be TOO difficult to convert it. I'd think you'd need a new top plate and possibly a new back plate. I guess I'll whip the back off when the new gear feeling has warn off and I feel confident enough to tear it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Is it just me that's relieved that everything useful has now gone. The temptation to grab a bargain that I don't need and can't afford was significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
