possible trade a guy wants to do . . . good deal?

[justinhedrick]

i need a 2x12. i have a guy who wants to trade me my beat to shit (but still good sounding) kustom 2x15 and my peavey bandit practice amp for an original late 60s small kustom 2x12 (the spekers are horizontal, instead of vertical).

I can't decide whether this is a good deal or not . . .

Shit, I don't know, but I'm drooling over that 2x15 kustom.

I had a Kustom 4x12 and the Jensens never clickeded with to me – noticeably thin and glassy.

BUT, Kustoms look so godamned cool...you could always swap out the speaks (or not, if you're digging em).

if they got like a silver dust cover with a hole their cts and are a little better. atleast to me, never heard a cab with a blown cts for real. them things keep on kickin'

Keep the Peavey Bandit, makes the deal a little fairer. I dunno. I think you're trading a middling speaker cab for another middling speaker cab. Toss up?

:idk:

The tuck & roll looks cheezey and cool but it adds weight. Not too bad on a head but on a cab, blech   And easy to ding, every time you move it. And old speakers aren't always good.

Plus, for a bass cab (2x15) the padding probably deadens the box, so okay You don't want resonance for a bass cab. But don't you want some resonance for a guitar cab? (the 2x12)

I would sell your clunkers and buy something nicer, like a used Avatar or whatever's on Craigs List.
