Up for sale is this legendary Zinky 2x12 cabinet. Unit was NOS when I acquired it last year, having been at Roxy Music since purchased direct from Bruce Zinky in the mid 2000's.

Convertible 2x12 is made by V-Boutique. It's the 2x12 Cube, OEM'd for Bruce's spec with the superior 2-panel design / removable top. Bogner's cab is a V-Boutique Euro for reference.

The Zinky Eminence 8 ohm 12" speakers are wired in 16 ohms series and have just broken-in. Eminence speakers take about 100 hours to open up, and these are right around that mark. They have a vocal midrange and enhanced overdrive tones, with complex cleans. Zinky's design principle:


We go for the most natural, acoustic sound possible. The clean sound, straight off the strings of the solidbody electric guitar is what we want to hear from the speaker. We use vintage guitars for testing amps and speakers, and we’ve gone through many good vintage speakers in establishing a baseline. We experimented a long time before getting the 12” speakers we use today. They’re very custom, but similar to other Eminence products.

There's a reason Keith Richards gigs 'em! Only other speaker that vibes as much as OG Mesa V30's (to me) but with their own thing going on.

$600 loaded / $500 unloaded shipped.

Aw man. Killer amps. MOFO #13 was my first boutique anything.
The Blue Velvets are splendid. Someone is getting a cool amp.
 
Well the head was traded but the cab is still available.
 
Bump, this is the baddest and most compact 2x12 available. Gives piano tone cleans and profoundly immersive 2001 monolith gain tones.
 
Bump someone stole my car and I got it back but need to sell this to do repairs. These cabs are ultra-rare with ZInky badging and cost over $600 shipped from V-Boutique unloaded.
 
Ohhhh man what a sweet cab! Someone grab this!!
It really is. I’d not sell it as it’s smaller than my OG FL Mofo cab and the way the thing projects at distance defies reason. Bruce solved the size problem with me 20 years ago: stuff it. Mesa should stuff their compact and everyone would be happy.

It’s got Bogner-spec Marshall Sound Runner 10 gauge 238 strand OFC wire in it too.
