The katana 2x12 is stunningly good value and I really like the speakers, greenback like and option of closed or open back!
The Harley Benton ones are great too if you can find them in stock!!

I've got a Mesa 2x12, with a Marshall AFD100 sitting on top of it and it does the business.
Only thing thing I'm not sure on is its a bit directional - I usually have my combo leant well back so its pointing at my head at gigs. The 2x12 with a head on top isnt easy to lean back, so its point at my knees - wonder if an open back would have better spread.

I put my 2x12 on its side so it's vertical, night and day difference!! I wanted a vertical 2x12 but the stars didn't align...

Not closed, dark and wet enough for you?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

You're always a step ahead!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I could make you a 2x12 that doesn't lean back but points above your knees I've had one in planning for awhile.jimi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 7:44 pm I've got a Mesa 2x12, with a Marshall AFD100 sitting on top of it and it does the business.

I'm intrigued and somewhat interested in this Bg. I'll be in touch if nothing pops up locally.Bg wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 2:48 pmI could make you a 2x12 that doesn't lean back but points above your knees I've had one in planning for awhile.jimi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 7:44 pm I've got a Mesa 2x12, with a Marshall AFD100 sitting on top of it and it does the business.

Re: What 212 cabs get the nod?
No worries externally it will look like a 2x12 but with an internal baffle at about 40 degrees so pointing way more up to you. I was contemplating one that combined both, so 1x12 straight and 1x12 angled... Not sure yet.griff7628 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:57 pmI'm intrigued and somewhat interested in this Bg.

I'll be making prototypes so....

Mine was built by someone, can't remember who but it's a nice looking box. I'm a sucker for a nice tidy box
It has a couple of Celestion Rocket 50w speakers in it;they're nicely broken in now and to me it sounds exactly how a good 2x12 cab should sound
