Members angry again2 Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Anyone ever order a used 4x12 cab from guitar center and had it shipped to them? Wasn't sure if they would and if it would be worth it with shipping costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theAntihero Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 They will but usually the shipping is quite high or at least thats been my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hrafnkel Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 I haven't ordered a 4x12, but I've gotten a few other bulky/heavy items. Got a 2x10 bass cab that weighs a ton, and just ordered a Peavey XXX 212, and they charged the same $12.50 for shipping that they charged when I got a guitar through them. Hell, I even got 2-day shipping for $12.50 on the XXX, albeit probably from some system error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a combo xxx amp or is it a 2x12 cabinet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heads I found listed on GC were mostly $450-600, found the 212 combo for $299. Couldn't really pass that up. Now I just need a G-flex cab to go with it, speakers in the cab are kinda meh.

I'm digging it so far, it came in Wednesday. Could probably use a retubing and a bit of work, and it needs a bulb in the power indicator whatchacallit, but it was in better shape than I expected for the price. Thing's got a pretty mean low-end on it, sounds 10x better through my JCA212 than it does through its own speakers though so I'm dying to hook it up to a G-flex or Mesa cab or something.

Members midnight_spooks Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 your looking at 20 to 30 bucks shipping, depending how far its going. Shipping to a store may be free? not 100% positive on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wookieslayer Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yes it should be like $12.50 for shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angry again2 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 I appreciate the input. I might be looking to pair it with a different cab from what Hrafnkel said. Guess thats why the peavey cabs are so cheap. I would rather have a 2x12 cab, was looking at the 4x12 because the xxx cabs are inexpensive, and not as many 2x12 used cabs to choose from that are used and cheap. I'll have to check out the Jet City 2x12. Little off topic but, I just ordered a used guitar from GC and they charged me a handling fee plus shipping fees. When did they start doing that? I've bought a couple of guitars used online from them and this is the first time they did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hrafnkel Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 The Jet City 2x12 is pretty solid, and it's only like $249 or something new. G-flex 212s come up on GC's used site for around $300 and I've always heard they match beautifully with the XXX. Also, everything I've gotten from them used had a shipping charge involved. Always $12.50 from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angry again2 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 I guess the fees were to box it up for shipping, which you are right was $12.50, and $20.00 shipping fee. Can't complain, Music Go Round charges a fortune to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more meaning the 2x12 combo plus the 2x12 g-flex which is what i use. I think the open back and the ported cabs mix very well together.

Members Elemenope Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 Never buy a used cab shipped. (at least from GC) So many people swapping out the original speakers in these that its hard to tell what they are loaded with. And GC does NOT check them.

Members 100 watt Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 They did a few years ago anyway. My Broe had an 80's JCM 800 4x12 he bought from there shipped to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
