MichaelBakerMusicMan Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi all, I recently bought this little 212 for $200 mainly because I was looking for something small, and it seemed sturdy. It also has good speakers in it. They're Celestion G12-T75 or something like that. After "popping the hood" on it, so to speak, I realized that what I had purchased is a VERY well crafted piece of equipment. It has huge foam pads inside, along with ports. The wiring is spectacular, and clearly work done by hand. So here's the real question: what is it worth?I see head/cab combos go for very high amounts, but I haven't seen any cabs alone. Did I do ok here? Should I sell it and invest in something different? Any opinions to let me know what I've got here are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's only worth about 50 bucks, but I will buy it from you for 200 right now just because I feel bad for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 To the best of my knowledge the Heritage cabinets were build by Peter Mather - top notch cabinets all the way. http://mathercab.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think the speakers new would get you close to the 200 mark, and a empty unfinished 2X12 cab is around 150, so you did fine at 200. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 You got yourself a once in a lifetime deal. If you ever chose to part with it, you'll find many on this forum willing to "help" you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Seems about right for a 212 cab, used. I wouldnt go as far as to say once in a lifetime deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjsanders Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 that cab new would be >$600, maybe $800. i wonder if the speakers are mods. the original closed-back & ported Heritage 2x12 cab had a Celestion V30 and a G12H30... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBakerMusicMan Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hey guys, yes, those speakers are mods I want the originals. I use a Mesa Single Rectifier Solo 50 with it, and that rig is just not doing it for me. Too heavy toned, too big. I'm ready for something different. Orange or Vox are what I'm looking into. I need a good clean, and good crunchy distortion. I am currently stuck with a heavy metal head and cab. What do you guys have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsanders Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 it's designed to sound like a vintage marshall 4x12. one guy i know send his back panel to Peter Mather and had an oval cut for it. that plus the original speakers did the trick for him...

Most of here use clean Fender like amps with pedals to give us some dirt if we cannot crank the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsanders Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 there was a fella here selling his Heritage Briton II. love mine. criminally cheap, used. does Vox-Marshall (Watkins) sound. also, love my Juke Coda or Warbler, which have great cleans & crunch. builder has recently been discounting excess inventory. unique, great sound (imho, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
