Members zbg8000 Posted April 4, 2006 Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 VHT Fat Bottom Cab 2x12 P50 eminenceHow do these sound? I know how well built it is, but I have no experience with P50 eminence speakers. I would run it with a tremoverb. Would you pay $350? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexWade Posted April 4, 2006 Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 $350 is an AMAZING deal as long has it doesn't look like it fell off the back of a semi hahahaha I love my 2 4x12's and would never get rid of them. they have sssoooo much low end but with tons of clarity, and the low end is very tight, i'd say the tightest cab i've ever played infact I say definetly go for it!

Members zbg8000 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 No it's pretty mint looking, looks like it spent it's life in the bedroom. The tighter the better too. I might have to jump on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oblivion DC Posted April 4, 2006 Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 Go and get this cab tonight!!! I was wanting to pick up a 2x12 fatbottom that someone had ordered at the GC near me. But I couldn't swing the 700 bucks for it. Dammit I hate tax time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Megadeth7684 Posted April 4, 2006 Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 Originally posted by sukeetoshyoo88 i heard that it's a very bright speaker. is this true? Yup, I had a VHT 412 cab with the P-50's and it was VERY bright. Too bright IMO. It was piercing as hell at times. I don't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zbg8000 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 Sweet. I pulled the trigger on this one and picked it up today. I jammed for about a couple hours tonight. I compared it to the following, 1. 80's Mesa Vertical 2x12 (Celestion MC90, EV12L) 2. Old Mitchell 4x12 (very solid, similar construction to a Marshall) with 2 Celestion GT12-75's on top, and 2 EVM-12L's on bottom. 3. The Celestion Vintage 30's in my Tremoverb. To compare I used my Tremoverb, and my bandmates Marshall TSL100. So it is very tight and pretty hard to make it get flubby or fart out. I like it better than the Vintage 30's in the combo, way better than the 4x12, and barely less then the Mesa 2x12. The Mesa 2x12 handles the low end just as well as the VHT in my opinion, and just sounded fuller to me, probably due to the top being open, and that the VHT seemed to cut the lower mids a little. Both the other sets of speakers weren't even on the same level as the 2x12's. The Mesa 2x12 got a little more "boomy" when playing clean stuff on the neck pup, but the VHT handled it very well, and the Mesa was barely worse. I also ran all of the cab's (and combo speakers) in every paired combination I could. The best was the VHT 2x12 and Mesa 2x12. I think I need a Tremoverb head instead now, since I love the sound of these cab's together so much and don't need to be stacking a 100lb combo ontop of both of them. On a side note, it made my buddies TSL100 sound so much better than the 4x12 which is his. Tight, full and articulate compared the flub, grainy fizz, and loose sound of his 4x12. I mean night and day. I think it actually pairs better with his Marshall than my Tremoverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zbg8000 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 OH, and it didn't seem overly bright at all to me. The guy I got it from said he checked out a pair of them when he got it and picked this one cuz it was darker than the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crwnedblasphemy Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 i don't think they are bright either....play a Marshall slant 4x12 with greenbacks....that is bright. Glad you pulled the trigger.....They are awesome cabs......and yes.....cabs are important. Especially if it is night and day like you said with the Marshall.
