OK so i just won an auction on ebay for an old peavey black widow cab...bargain at £24!!

EXCEPT its pick up only and not from Southampton (fifteen minutes away!) as i thought before i won, but in flipping Kent....2 and a half hours away!!

Who knew there was more than one Hythe in England? :confused:

I used to play through a Black Widow 18" paired with a 2x10 and it was great.
Waaay too big to be useful for a long time, but sounded great.

good luck with the pickup...

As i hate talkbass, some people on it do have some sense, and evrey time mixing cabs come up they say phasing will happen, infact even when you mix different speakers you will get phasing. Now im really into sound you could say, and have started making my own cabs, but ive no idea were they get it from. But if it doesnt sound good this is probably your problem.

Good luck with the new cab. I remember Black Widows from back in the day and they were great sounding speakers. Not going to be as clean and punchy as some of todays top end speakers, but it should still have a great bottom end and serve you well. I think its a great find and think you will be happy with it. Especially for the money you paid for it.

If you want something cleaner the eminence delta pro has pretty much the same specs. Or the fane 15-425 there both very clean speakers.

I hate BW cabs, one I had was a POS. I'll not buy another.
