keeno Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I get a nice pay bonus at the start of next month so will probably get a new portable amp and cab. I'd love a 2x12, but not sure I have the space and it would probably be unusable since my neighbours complain about a creaky floorboard. The winding staircase up to my flat is already a deathtrap so don't fancy lugging a 20+kg cab up and down it.Will be used for heavier music primarily but I am looking to branch out a bit so something with a tight low end would be good but also sound half decent with cleaner tones without the need to change the speaker. Budget is likely to be around £150. The one that is recommended on another forum I used is this -> http://www.dv247.com/guitars/mesa-boogie-1x12-thiele-guitar-speaker-cabinet--66289Way out of my price range though!The one that seems like a winner so far is http://www.jetcityamplification.com/2010/11/08/jca12xs/ due to the size and portability. I can also get one brand new for around £100 Any others in this price range that meet the criteria or are there any reasonably small/light 2x12 cabs around? Been recommended this as a good budget cab due to the v30's http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_g212_vintage.htm but 25kg is excessive.

Ross. Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 The Orange PPC112 is closed back (so should be good for tight bass response) and it comes with a Celestion V30. I haven't seen many other V30 loaded 112s below £200. That Harley Benton one has tempted me a few times now. Just can't help but be a tad suspect of the build quality at that price!http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/01016171/details.html?kbid=1582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I've got the above Orange 1x12 and it does indeed sound very good. Built like a tank too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built like a tank too.I really wanted the one that was advertised on here that you snapped up a few months back. Consequently I can't bring myself to buy one unless I find a similarly good deal.
