Yeah...it sure would be!
It's unloaded...but considering that I saw the same style of 212 at other place for $450-$550...$385 is pretty good.
The cab actually only cost $320 with the basic options. I added a convertible back and the more expensive Marshall Bluesbreaker grill cloth, which brought it to $340...and then $45 to ship.
AFA speakers...I'm not 100% sure yet, but it's going to be something different...an interesting combination...maybe.
I'm having this 212 slant built to match a new head I picked up a couple of weeks ago. It's a Carol Ann OD2r (you can read the spec here:
Carol Ann OD2r). Mine has black Tolex with the B&W Marshal BB grill.
In a nutshell the "r" is designates it as a studio/recording amp...which just means that the signal path was extra noise-free, and it's not as loud as some of the other models, which are more aimed for live use...but it's still plenty loud.
Anyway...I don't want to talk about the amp in detail here as I've only played it a little bit, and I still want to spend some time getting familiar with it, and with the cab that's coming...but the builder suggests going with cleaner/neutral speakers, like the Celestion Lead 80 (or equivalent)...so I need a pair of 16 Ohm speakers to go in the new cab.
I have a Weber Chicago that I bought a long time ago, which is a clone of the Lead 80, and was recommend to me by the late Ted Weber when I was looking to replace a Celestion Lead 80 that had developed some coil rub in a Bogner Shiva I had at the time, but he also told me how to fix the coil rub. So I bought the speaker anyway, and then tried the coil rub fix, which worked 100%...so I still have the Chicago.
I also tried the amp with a WGS Invader that I have...and man, it sounds REALLY great with that speaker too, which probably breaks up a bit more than a Lead 80 type would.
SO...I'm thinking of trying the Weber Chicago and a WGS Invader in the new cab...one very clean speaker and one that has some crunch. Not sure how they will marry up or which to put on bottom and which on top...but that's what I'm going to start with and then go from there.
