Michael Patrick Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I know we were discussing cabs and speakers, so I thought I'd post a pic of my new 2x12 cab! The cab was made by Trutone Custom, and the speakers are Scumback 65-watt H75s. http://www.juhnke.com/mike/Gear2007/Headandcab2.jpg Used it on a gig last night for the first time, and it sounded awesome! It'll only get better as I put more hours on the speakers. I had the cab custom made, with the width spec'd to match the width of the Marshall DSL 50, which is the head I'll probably use it with most.

Michael Patrick Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks! I could have gotten a cab a lot cheaper from Avatar, but I really wanted to go to the next level of quality. Not that Avatars aren't nice cabs, but this one uses a better quality of wood and is hand-built so it is a little more sturdy. And the speakers are just awesome, I can't say enough good about them. Again, not cheap ($170 each as I recall...) but well worth the money. I had made a nice piece of change flipping an amp that I bought locally and sold on fleaBay for more than twice what I paid for it, so it was like free money.... I said to myself, "Self, when is the next time you'll have money to have a piece of gear custom-made?" And I said, "Self, probably not for a long while..."

I just want to point out that the Truetone 212, unloaded, is only $275. The Avatar Vintage 212 unloaded is about the same price (I cant remember the exact price Dave gave me when I asked)...so I think it is only the choice of speakers that will make the big price differenceand possible perception of quality. I think cabinet quality wise...they are pretty much on the same level. The two Avatar Vintage cabs I got are built like tanks! The wood is not made of solid pine...but instead, a 13-ply void-less Baltic birch plywood...which I believe is chosen for its more uniform resonance properties. They have rabbett and dado interlocking glued side joints. Very solid! I also checked out the Truetone cabs before I bought my Avatar cabsand I didnt really see any major difference in cab construction quality or choice of cab materials. Speaker choices, of course, are another thing...and can be real personal. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

ThisSiteSucks Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Very nice and, IMO, not overly priced for a custom built cabinet that will last you years and years! I'm gassing for a Marshall 50 watter DSL with 2x12 cab, but dang it, I just can't part with my Fender Super Reverb (mostly cuz I wouldn't get much on a trade-in). Oh well, all good things. I'm want to add the Vibrolux speaker enclosure and make a Fender Stack! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
