Title: weird GK cab super cheap on craigslist

Anyone know anything about that amp? I'm thinking I might buy it if it's even halfway decent cause it's got enough wattage to handle my butcher for now and once I get more cabs it would be nice to have a 15 incher in the stack.

Plus I know a lot of people on here and other places tell me only good things about GK.

I mean I have enough money to buy both. You don't think that this would sit well in a wall of amps?

might come in handy when some bass player loser walks up and wants to be the bass player he might incorporate it. I don't have alot of experience with playing guitar through 15's, so I really don't know. Im sure a butcher and that thing would be rude. I would make sure it works obviously, and turn it way up as well.

15's are def the shit for guitar. That cab looks pretty badass.

Nice porting, not a bad intro to the wonderful world of 15"s

Yeah I was stoked for that cab messaged him and dude had already sold it but the add is still there even the day after he told me that. I'm tired of people leaving there adds up days after they've sold it.

maybe he decided to keep it, I almost traded  my 1x15" cabs, so glad I kept them now.

Dude fuck yeah its going for a good price I'm buying it tomorrow. Shit is gonna be epic. Anyone have any knowledge about the ohms and wattage of this cabinet? I've never heard of it before.
Title: Re: weird GK cab super cheap on craigslist
Post by: Hemisaurus on December 29, 2011, 01:05:26 PM
I think they are 4 ohm, but you're almost guaranteed not to find one with original drivers, so that could be anywhere, but figure at least 200W possibly nearer 600W (25W a driver or 75W a driver)

One on the right looks very like my main 15.

They are actually both the same cab design, one is carpet covered and has plastic corners, the other is just painted, one has an Eminence woofer and one has something generic. I use the painted one for drum monitors, drum machines, punk bass etc. The grey one has been my main cab for a while, that and the 100W Stealth and I'm back to getting spectators requesting I turn down as I'm drowning out the drums, so it's loud enough for Gzus to hear, for a change.

There wasn't a price in the listing. hashbrowns may have contacted the seller and got one though.

Mine has a plain slot port so different designs but looks like the person made mine used the same grey carpet and plastic corners. Mine has an Eminence Kappa pro in there if I remember right. Seriously great low end out of it.

If anybody could get dimensions of such a '70 Traynor 8*10 cab, it'd be greatly appreciated!  ;D

Buggered if I know, we've gone through 3 maybe 4 guitarists in the last twelve months, depending on how you count it, I really don't want to do a two piece live, maybe we will, maybe we'll just record some more, I don't know. I was talking to my old Drone Camel buddy and he wanted to do it, but he's in STL and busy as shit, so I don't see that as viable either.

Unless you get a great deal, $100 or so, I'd pass.  I've had two, one with stock speakers and another with eminence bp102s and neither was really impressive. Pretty shallow at 12" deep and it has no internal dividers.
