WTB: 412/212 cab Hiwatt/Sound City/Carlsbro/Orange/WEM #Fanes

cyteryt

I just bought a Hiwatt amp so looking for some suitable cab along with it. The title says it all. I dont mind if its beaten up, tatty, vomited over or anything.
I am interested in Fane loaded speaker cabs, or even the speakers themselves. 
I´d like to buy Ted Weber speakers too, if possible. Whatya got?

I have a vintage, stripped to bare wood Orange 4x12, made in circa 1974. Loaded with the original creambacks. But it weighs a ton and I see you're in Slovakia so probably not viable to ship it.

Shipping is really not that expensive, just around 40 quid. I wouldnt post the ad if it was expensive. I can arrange my own. I´d PM you.

Price and location? I might be interested in that.

Got an empty cab if it's of interest... check your pm for pics.

btw this looks like an old hiwatt, just missing its basketweave grill:

He's placing all the value on the speakers themselves, so looks like he only wants £95 for the unloaded cab. Ask him to include the Marshall logo too, its a plexi logo and worth a few quid ;o)

Just to let you know previous offers did not work out so still looking. Thanks

If you end up wanting to go the Weber route I've got an account with them. Let me know if you need any help.

Bud, just one thing:

You PM'd me re Crescendo's.

1. Crescendo's are very bright and hard sounding, esp at low vols
2. Most second hand ones you'll find are utterly shot
3. 50w Purple Backs sound better!
4. Celestions and Hiwatts don't go well.
5. The new Fane A70 is fab if you can find a cab.
6, Clayton Callaway's HiTone clones are even better.
7. EV12L's also work but it'll be loud.

1. Crescendo's are very bright and hard sounding, esp at low vols - True, read about that
2. Most second hand ones you'll find are utterly shot - True...
3. 50w Purple Backs sound better! - Yes, my friend has them in 4123 and they sound great
4. Celestions and Hiwatts don't go well. - Yes I have tried many and urgh.... AWFUL
5. The new Fane A70 is fab if you can find a cab. - Never heard of those, only have A60 and A90 avaliable for sale here, did you try those?
6, Clayton Callaway's HiTone clones are even better. - Yes, but utterly expensive... I have Hi-Tone Head and shipping a cab here would be waaay above 1000€ so thats a definite no go for me.
7. EV12L's also work but it'll be loud. - read about those too, but pretty hard to find.

Hah, thanks man. I read too that Crescendos are way too bright. I have one Weber FC12 locally, guy wants to swap it so I guess I´d take it and pair it with three Eminence Tonkers, or something...

Crecs are fine if you're running a DR103 flat out.

Dropped you a message.

Still looking. Also interested in empty 412. More beaten and old the better.

Seen this? It's a beaten up 2x12 with Fanes!
