Even if the 4 ohm speaker will need replacing for an 8 or 16 ohm to be compatible with a TT for example this is still a hell of a deal.

I really could do with this actually, seeing as Pete's just nicked one of the 4x12s in the practise space, and will be taking the other soon..

Don't really have the moneez though :(

Buggeration! They'll still be selling them for a while, maybe after payday?

I'm guessing shipping will be another 15-20 quiddles, and I'd really rather not drop that much on something I'm just gonna use for practise.. almost tempted to just pick up some old 30w bass combo or something instead, or make my own ghetto cab.

Wow, I wish they had these when I got my TT! Trying to stuff my HB 2x12 into my mate's Toyota Yaris made me realise it's a bit hefty. The price wows just about everyone though, especially considering its size.

Not with the stock speaker. Classic 30 needs 16 ohm, that one's 4.

Though if it's easy to replace, it might be worth a speaker swap, but I can't tell how easy that would be from those pics.

I just read that the Harley Benton stuff is rebranded FRAMUS stuff too. That's good.
