I can't say I have heard of them.tim wrote:Have you considered a Greenboy? I've always wanted to build one from a kit (about half the price of a pre-assembled one).
Wow, what a sweet cab! Thanks for the tip, man! It comes out to $628 before shipping. Yikes.Jeroen wrote:Maybe take a look on the Dutch market if the shipping is not too bad, they're made here. There's a 112 for sale here:

Wow, that video is quite the plug! He says that all of the drivers are extremely high-quality components. That makes me very interested. Of course, by the time I buy the necessary tools to put a kit together, I haven't saved much.tim wrote:Quick primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-YUbQyK5Lssuperheavydeathmetal wrote:I can't say I have heard of them.
Here's one source for kits: http://www.speakerhardware.com/products.php?cat=146
The actual Greenboy site kinda sucks, but gets the job done: http://greenboy.us

And my current household carpentry project is finishing the tortoise enclosure I started when I was on family leave when my 10-month old was born--yeah, life is a bit of a blur right now 
But someday, F112s, dammit! Wow, I really appreciate that, man! I didn't know Vanderkley is a boutique brand of cabinet. I just heard a clip that had a sound I like. I guess I would just start out with the 2x10. I am not in a band, so I don't think having a 2x10 and a 1x12 would do me any good, do you? If I ever do join a band, maybe I will add a 1x12 for some extra oomph.Addison wrote:So, you want a 2x10 AND a 1x12, or are you looking at one or the other? Just curious.
I know Marc Vanderkley... if you're serious about getting a cab, I can reach out to him for you.
If he's not willing to sell direct, he could probably tell me if he knows anyone in the states that has store stock, or he might even have a lead on a used cab.
Let me know and I'll help how I can.
I may do that!tim wrote:But if you're really serious, I would just call up the guys at SpeakerHardware and go through the options with them.!

you can include me in the group of folks who really love themAddison wrote:The fEARful cabs are absolutely amazing, but they're also pretty polarizing... the people who love them really, REALLY love them.
I'm fortunate enough to live about 2 stones throw away from one of the GB builders (Jhawk) and have had the opportunity to check out all of GB's Fearless line (haven't tried any of the fEARFULs). there's not a dog in the bunch IMHO. I had the F210 and sold it because a) the F210 wasn't moving enough air for my needs and b) Don Barry had the F115 ready to go from a customer cancellation. I still pine for the F210 because it delivered all the articulation I could ever want from a cab. Totally blew my mind when I ran my assortment of pedals thru it. Not to say the F115 isn't as articulate, to my ears it's just voices a tad differently due to it being a 1x15 cab vs a 2x10 cab.Addison wrote:Others have been turned off by the amount of detail in their voice. They're basically like an incredibly high end studio reference monitor as a bass cab. The amount of detail in one of those cabs is ridiculous, and many people have found out how to use that detail to their advantage. Others are simply in love with a more simple setup... it's what our ears have grown accustomed to, so it makes sense when people are drawn to that.
