No - 4 x 12 means 4 speakers that are 12" in size. Like 4 x 8, or 2 x 6, or 2 x 8, etc...
As near as I know, I was his only amp project. We kinda dreamed it up while drinking and smoking, and eventually decided to move forward with the project. I barely paid for his labor - meaning he spent many hours on it and I only paid like $500 for the amp and cabinet.
That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. You got one hell of a deal!
I used it for years. It has thousands of hours on it, surely. The cab will have fewer hours, as there was no point in using it in the house for practice. I'd sometimes gig with just the head combo. That was plenty loud for even moderately sized venues - but you're also expected to look the part. Showing up at a gig with just a tiny combo amp can look bad, but once folks heard it they understood. It's seriously loud and actually sounds good when it's cranked up.
People listen with their eyes. If they see an amp the to their eyes looks shitty they with think it sounds shitty
