Cab dilemma

Skin Coffin · 09-17-2011, 11:19 AM

Hey dudes, as I said on a previous thread, I'm looking for a cab and I'm decided: I'm having the 212 Zilla fatboy. The thing is, I'll need to save money during some months to get the money needed for it and, with a new amp at home, I really want a cab quick! I was thinking, my dad can lend me some money, like 200€ or so.. what if I bought a Harley Benton 212 and then use the speakers later, send them to Zilla for instance, to make a really good cab? Are the v30 on the Harley Benton the same used on Zilla cabs or are they different?

What do you think I should do, save money for some months to get the zilla, or get the harley benton straight away and later use the speakers for a new high end cab?

what the..?

212 Harley benton NOW or Zilla 212 in a couple months?

Chances are the V30s are gonna be the same either way. Even if Harley Benton uses Chinese V30s instead of British ones, they're the same speakers, built to the same specifications.

I know how much it sucks to not be able to play a head, and not have an amp at all. I vote get the Harley Benton now, because I've still heard those sound good, and at the very least, it'll be a decent cab that will get you through. You could send the V30s to Zilla later or just order an empty cab from them and put the speakers in yourself.

Thanks man! That's what I'm gonna do then! I just really wanted to know if the speakers were the same. Thanks
