Holy NCD! deal of the day for me

[lessthan12]

Well, with the gf buying me the 5150 III I had to go buy a new cab today. I previously had one of these heads when they came out with the matching 212 cab and I wasn't a big fan of the cab, it just felt cheapish to me. So I headed to gc today with the intentions of buying an orange 212( I a 212 fan) I didn't bring the EVH bc the 6505 is close enough so I used one of their heads and an EBMM axis they had on hand. Plugged it all in and was fairly impressed with the orange, plus I figured the orange will take a lot of other heads well so it was a no brainer…until out of the corner of my eye I spied a small clearance area with an all black 212,couldn't see the brand from where I sat. Went over to check it out and it turned out to be a PRS Stealth cab,loaded with vintage 30's just like the orange. Originally these were tagged for 700! I paid less for this on clearance than you can buy the speakers for, and its brand new!
The biggest surprise came when I plugged it in. It sounded better than the orange! Fuller, more bottom end and tighter, couldn't believe it. They have one more and I might go back this weekend and pick it up. It sounds sooooo good. They also had the older PRS heads on clearance for more than half off, I almost left with one of those too. So since I thought I was spending over 750 today on a cab I actually have an extra 500 instead to toss towards another guitar

They had one other one for the same price, same cab with the same speakers but wasn't the "deep" version. For the money I don't think its possible to find a better cab even on the used market. Man do I love gc clearance

I think they made a mistake…This is a link for the cab I bought. I got this one under the impression it was one of the import line cabs and it turns out its the US made version lol. The "big mouth" cab comes in 2 version, the import and the us made, I wonder if some made a mistake

This is what the other cab looked like and was also tagged as a stealth cab. It was tagged for 279. Im probably going to call tomorrow and snag that one too.( they don't have it listed in the new section, its a new cab and Im just showing this one on the used site to show what the other one looked like. Im assuming the one in the store is an older version hence why its not on the "new" site)

Nicely done! Anytime you can save some big $$$ on something like that, it's worth it!

Looks great too!

I really like the EVH through V30's. Great score!

Somebody fucked up, you win!


I bet they thought it was an SE cabinet.

They are selling for $379 which makes that $279 clearance make sense.

I know right lol. Why would it be on clearance for so much off if its still on their site for 700? Either way I got a sweet us made cab that sounds awesome with the evh for waaaaayyyy cheaper than I was going to spend. Im curious about the other one they had now.
