Congrats! Those look phenomenal.
Looney bins got to be the most cost effective way of getting quality bass with all the finishing touches. I'm wondering how much more would they cost if they'd come with full grills? |

I like the look without, but with grills they'd be more hireable for some things...

True, but i really like the raw horn look, and as long is my primary gigs are highschools, where stomach crunching bass seems to be the way to go, I don't really need grills. |

With all this Mark bashing going on here, i've gotta say i've always had good service from him-
always answered my calls, 2 comps turned up with 36hrs of placing my order with him. when i spanked a v1200 he met me @ 9pm on a friday night and sorted me out a replacement unit in time for my gig the next night....i couldnt see anyone from Blue aran offering to hang around for me on a friday night. |

I had come to the conclusion it was the Mk2 (more recent) Loonies that had the Speakon connectors on the access panel itself, not half way down the cabinet. Is this not the case? I have six bought secondhand and it was by far the oldest looking one (with driver in worst condition) that had the Speakons on the position in the picture above, which is how I came to this conclusion. |

Not too worried. Bought 6 secondhand off somebody who had 16 of them, purchased in two lots (both secondhand of people confirmed to have bought official Loonies new.)
Five of them seem slightly newer, have larger bolts with washers and Speakons on the panel. The older seeming one looks exactly the same as the photo above, with the Speakons in the centre and smaller bolts without the recess in the wood. I did notice that the cutout for the driver seems off centre for most of them but didn't think it was for the older looking one but I might be mistaken. (Is that something that shouldn't be posted on here?) I really can't remember and can't be bothered to take all the backs off again. They sound good enough no matter what :) |

The cabs that are received when you place an order for a Looney direct from PAP now is not the same as the ones you own. The new ones are modified further and have a different driver. |

Ah, my mistake then. I was pretty certain Rog said it contained a slightly modifed driver once again, but since he recently deleted his accounts I wasn't able to easily search his posts to verify that... |

i just checked my emails because i wasnt sure and Rog wrote to me:"The drivers are V18-1000A, which are the same driver that have always been in the Looney bin."
