So..About Ordering Emperor Cabs...

Post by Eric! »

I know some of you guys got them. But I can't find what they really cost. So what'd you get? Price range you paid (you can be discrete)? How was the customer service?

I have a 2x12 with stock Webers, ebony stain, and bluesbreaker grill and it was $525 shipped to St. Louis. They are completely customizable though, so no way to really say what yours would cost. Just email Dylan with what your looking for, size, speakers, stain, grill, etc and he'll get back to you pronto with a quote. Customer service in my experience was excellent, really good guys over there at the Emperor shop. Easily the best sounding cab I've ever owned though and they look fuckin' gorgeous, can't go wrong!

I literally just had a tab open looking at getting a quote on a cab.
I really want an offset 4x12 bass cab, But I, too, am curious about price.

I really like the look of the Emperor Cabs but I couldn't stand worrying about scratching it to shit every time I loaded it up.

I actually think they look cool beat to shit. That first scar would be tough to swallow though. Matt Pike's Emperors look like they've been thrown down several flights of concrete stairs, just devestated!

That's true about the first scar.

Matt Pike's cabs do look pretty awesome but I doubt he paid for them so it's a little different.
Same for Pete Townsend, It looked pretty cool when he smashed perfectly good guitars but we'd be morons if we did it.

Just ask 'em! They're super nice. Also, Pike totally paid for his.

Emperor makes EVERYONE pay! We visited their shop last month and Dylan said they never give free cabs away as bands just end up selling 'em and trying to get new ones. That's not to say discounts aren't involved, but pay they must.

If you go that route, call him over sending an email. Apparently his email skills are extremely subpar and when I brought it up on TB, the general consensus was "Well, what can you do?"
