this is gonna run me almost exactly a grand with shipping and all, what do you guys think...
Avatar Cabs...
2x12contemporary w/a celestion vintage 30 and a celestion G12H30
and
4x12contemporary w/2 hellatone 30s and 2 hellatone 60s in an X pattern
burgundy tolex with a wheat grill. its gonna be sexy!
the contemporary cabs look a lot more durable than the traditional ones, i dont really want the vintage cus of the slanted front, i dont need it cus im gonna have my 412 up on the 212 at ear level. the contemporary design seem to be designed almost like orange cabs. with projection and durability being the arguements against avatar, i think these were sort of their response to that.
so yea blue, tell me this is a good idea before brian triesto talk me out of it at practice. hahaha.

fine by me, man

alright, im here. EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN.
david, your speaker combos are a little 'meh.' I'd be worried with those choices you're going to get a whole lot of weird muddy mids.
the traditional cabs are their orange equivalents. lots of mass, nice low end. definetly what you're looking for.
i would try 2 hellatone 60s/2 celestion classic lead 80s in an x pattern in the 4x12. the CL80s are super underrated, very well balanced down the spectrum and perfect for modern high gain. the h60s will put in a little of that grindier midrange thatll pair wonderfully.
for the 2x12, i would see if they still have the hellatone 60Ls available (call and ask). theyre a hellatone 60 but more focused to the low/mids, perfect if you're going to use it on the floor.

my gflex for 300
[Feb 15,2008 4:45pm - brian_dc ""]
oh Cav, that gflex is mint. Seriously consider that. I know you want to match, but 300 for a gflex is a retarded deal
[Feb 15,2008 4:59pm - Blue ""]
yup, screw that avatar 2x12 and just get the g-flex. only 2x12 youll ever need.
[Feb 15,2008 5:01pm - brian_dc ""]
do it so I can compare it to the earcandy if it ever freakin comes in
[Feb 15,2008 5:03pm - Blue ""]
ooooooh so many cabs. if only i could sell my blue voodoo cab for 300. fucking theres uk v30s in there for christ sake.

I'm dangerously close to buying that Bad Cat...I just need to talk to ING about them cutting me a check out of a fucking retirement fund that was deferring income while I was a substitute teacher
if that check comes my way...I'll be A/B'ing ENGL and Bad Cat
*flexes penis*

damn. i think ive officially decided to stop buying expensive boutiquey stuff. cus i can just sell it and buy like 3 sleeper high gainers and a bass rig.
[Feb 15,2008 5:11pm - brian_dc ""]
I want it. And I think I can do it without selling my Recto. Which deep down I feel like I could use somewhere down the line.
[Feb 15,2008 5:20pm - Blue ""]
sell the frigging recto already. if youre going to hold on to a recto, make sure its a 2 channel.
[Feb 15,2008 5:23pm - brian_dc ""]
It's not...Part of me is too lazy to sell it. I will eventually, I'm just in no hurry.
[Feb 15,2008 5:24pm - Blue ""]
ALWAYS IN A HURRY FOR NEW GEAR
[Feb 15,2008 10:01pm - Joshtruction ""]
I kinda want blues cab too haha
[Feb 15,2008 10:05pm - Blue ""]
please, buy the whole cab for 300. then take the speakers out and sell them separetly and make your money back. then retolex the cab and and take the crate logo off. Buy some WGS CL80 clones on ebay (4 for 160) and and have the secret destroyer.
the cab is marine grade baltic birch for christ sake.
