I'm wanting a stock TE 4x12 for the V6 but I can't see taking it to a lot of gigs.I used to have a 12-Stack. I loved the sound of that cab, but it was too big and loud for my needs. I bought it on blowout/clearance and sold it for more than I paid for it.

Did the same thing recently with a MIM Fender P Bass I had. I knew it would be undesirable with shipping charges to sell on EB, so I just took it down the local GC and actually got right about what I was looking to get anyway. Wasn't a bad bass at all, but I don't like having gear around that I'll never use and it felt good just to get it out of the house.

I got this one for $300 shipped to my door after a HORRENDOUS Guitar Center fiasco. The UPS guy carried it up the 15 stairs in the incredibly too big box and lifted it over the rail. He must have been the size of Lou Ferrigno. Took GC 10 days to get it there. They “threw away” my casters because they were “damaged”. I raised holy hell too. They knocked $75 off of it.
It’s totally overkill for my band. It’s got a smokin’ tone though and it sounds like a monster. I’ve comsidered selling it myself but it is truly the cab I have always wanted soundwise.
4x12s is a sonic monster. It’s no fun to move around though. I play mine at 90% of the gigs. Especially if they are outdoors. Sometimes on indoor gigs I use an Eden 2x10.
Here is a photo of it (it looks worse in person). When I got it two years ago it was covered with black duct tape and the grill was more curved in (along with the blown tweeter). It took HOURS of gluing the ripped tolex back on and trying to straighten the grill. The grill has several cracks and a lot of wood glue to get it to where it is here (also has white paint on it). The wheels also had to be replaced and the screws were mostly stripped on the wheel mounts.
I'm sure some of you have or have had cabs in worse condition but most of my cabs have been pretty clean and have had no issues.

The dilemma has been resolved. Guitar Center wasn't interested in it so I took it to a locally owned shop and they offered money for a trade. I currently don't really need anything - so I traded the big ugly, hissy box for this 
I like the irony of the trade...A huge cab for a mini pedal.
Me too
I guess this was another option to trade it for something that is WAY easier to turn around and sell if I want.
I would have made a good offer this weekend, but you didn't seem interested.
Glad you got the pedal.

Thanks for the offer but it was one of those thing to try and do the deed while I had the day off. If you're interested I can PM you the shop where it might still be this weekend. They said they'd probably only mark it up to about $200.
