New It's-An-Old-Cab-But-I-Have-it-Back Day

The one with the Wheat grill. Been in storage for like 2 years on the other side of the country. Shipped it back to me (was crazy expensive, don't ever ship a 4x12 cab). Put the original Greenbacks back in it and swapped the G12-65s over to the black cab to run with the SLO Clone. Took me a few hours to swap around three sets of speakers. Not fun at ll! Now I just gotta figure out where to keep these fuckers. My roommates aren't happy

Bogner cabs = best cabs on the planet

If I were your roommate, I'd be happy with those just hanging around. They look like fine furniture.

I'd love to hear my Avenger with a Bogner cab

That's EXACTLY what I said. But no... they just don't have an appreciation for fine speaker cab furnishings...

It looks mint, nice!

swapping some speakers myself on a Bogner, getting the back of the cab off was an adventure

Simple. Throw the room mates out.

I hear ya, man. I've had loaded Bogners shipped from AZ to AK and down to WA. Cheap? Hell no. Worth it?

I found two tricks to help get the back off:

1. Take all the screws out and leave the cab near a heater over night. In the morning, the back will be popped off.

2. Take a handle off, reach inside, and use your manly muscles to slap the back panel as hard as you can repeatedly. It will pop out if you use your mustache/beard strength.

Simpler yet...BLAST the room mates out.

I remember your other post about this cab.

I have an old Red Bear cab that I sold twice and ended up getting it back. The first time I sold it I found it at the local music store where I originally bought it about 5 years later. After the second time I sold it, I moved from Michigan to North Carolina. Three years later, I go into the local music store and there is a Red Bear cab there... it was priced $200 because 2 of the speakers were blown so I bought it because I had a couple of V-30s at home. I opened the back and about shit myself because there was the name tag that I glued there almost 10 years earlier. I think this thing is following me.

sorry 2x12 guys but nothing beats a straight 4X12

Tried each one out with my Hydra the other day.

The 65-loaded cab handles the low end really well. Kind of dark. Needs some volume to sound good. Very smooth and chewy.

The GB-loaded cab is more present. Brighter. A bit more mid-range growl. Loose low end. Crunchy.

I'd say the Hydra still sounds the best with V30s though. And the Bogner 2x12 is much louder than either 4x12... I have to turn the amp WAY up to get the same volume with the 4x12s.
