Members ScreaminKing Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm looking at getting a 2x12 for my TSL100 and getting rid of my 4x12. The one cabinet that's really caught my eye is an Orange 2x12, and I was wondering what the best price I could get is. I contacted my local L&M and they said it would cost me $970CDN, which I think it pretty high. I looked at Humbuckermusic.com and they sell them in the US for $580US (about $670CDN). I know L&M pricematches, but I don't think they'll match US prices. Is there anywhere else I could look to get one? Or perhaps some place that will give me a better deal that $970? By the way, I'm in Toronto. Thanks for any help you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members emodot Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 Avatar Premier G212H with Vintage 30's in Orange Tolex. $535 CDN + shipping from Steam Co. You probably gotta pay GST with that, but PST is negated, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members M_E_A_T_B_A_L_L Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 Only one I could find online in Canada was this place http://www.lamusic.ca/default.asp?nCategory=944&ProductName=2x12%20ALL%20PLY%20CABINET&PID=2018 Their price was higher than your L&M price Sorry I couldn't find any cheaper, Meaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ScreaminKing Posted February 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 That one from Steamco looks nice. I might just have to go for that, but I'd probably go for black if it wasn't an authentic Orange cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ripping Rudy Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 From a pure "money" point of view I disagree on the Avatar cab. Once you get the Avatar cab home and put a couple dings in it you will not get much more than $200 for it. The Orange will have a way higher resale value and hold it's value for years, especially if you take good care of it. This is also the case with Mesa and Bogner cabs.

That's another really good point I have to consider. But I kinda feel like I'm being ripped off for $970 Canadian, when Humbuckermusic in the US sells them for the equivalent of $670 Canadian. Also Long & McQuade is Canada's version of GC....so the overhead shouldn't be a problem right? Anyone have any idea how long shipping takes from Steamco? They're in Winnipeg, and I'm in Toronto. Do they have quicker shipping options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members emodot Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 BAH! Yeah right! Long and McQuade and Steve's are total ripoffs. The overhead is insane. I'm not going to buy something if I have to pay $10 less than the list price on MF. And anything from Winnipeg will still be faster than clearing customs, last I checked.

I meant, do they have the cabinets already? Or do they have to order from Avatar and then send it to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JonathanD Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 marder explorer has a marshall avt 2x12 w/ v30's. I almost bought it then my band broke up. He was super great the whole way through the deal. Might be something to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members M_E_A_T_B_A_L_L Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 The guy who runs steamco does have a warehouse in Winnipeg with Avatar stuff I believe. I ordered a Hellatone 30 from him about 3 weeks ago, and it honestly arrived at my door less than 48 hours after I put in the order. (I am a little closer to Winnipeg than Toronto though). Just call up steamco, he'll let you know what he has in stock and when it can be shipped out. Meaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I am liking the idea of the Orange. How do you like those Hellatones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
