I've played every practice and every gig with this cabinet for over a year and it's got a few dings in the tolex, but where it counts, it still works great! Are there better cabinets out there? sure there are, but for a couple of hundred bucks, it's the best I found for the money.
First of all, I've waited over a year to write this review because I really hate the reviews that start off with "My parents just bought me this today... blah blah blah..." I want to know that it lasts and what it sounds like in different places.. not on a carpeted bedroom floor playing it soft enough so that the parents that just bought it don't complain...
I was on a pretty strict budget when I bought this cabinet to give an extra couple of 12's to my 1974 Fender Twin. I fully expected that I was going to have to, at a minimum, change the speakers fairly soon as the Twin is putting out 100 watts of Fender power, I just didn't think they were going to last. Well, It's been over a year and it's still rockin'. I stack the Twin on top of it, or lean it back for a monitor next to it depending on the stage set up we're on. in that case the Bugera is the speaker that the audience hears, and I'm ok with that.. so much so that I mic the Bugera Cabinet instead of the Fender,
The Tolex covering is not as durable as I would have liked, but if the pretty outside cover is where they saved the money, I'm ok with that. The Handle is huge which made stacking the twin on there a bit of a challenge, so, I bolted a 3/4" X 6" of plastic stock on either side of the handle that gives the amp a firm place to sit and gives the handle plenty of room. I put castors on the bottom so it's easy for this old man to transport around.
Overall, a great Cabinet at twice the price. I've turned the Twin up to 6 at an outside venue and the speakers handled the volume without distorting.

Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I'm gigging musician that plays in a '60s rock-n-roll cover band at night clubs every weekend. I really liked the Bugera V55 HD I bought used and re-tubed, it's been a reliable workhorse for me for nearly two years, so when I saw one of these matching cabs used on CL, I figured I'd give it a shot. After two gigs, I gave up on trying to make it sound good. It is very sterile sounding, totally lacking in dimension. So I removed a third of the back panel, and swapped the cheapo Chinese Bugera speakers with their lightweight magnets for an old British-made McKenzie out of a Marshall cab, and an Eminence-made Reverend Alltone, and now it sounds fantastic!

Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I purchased this cab as a "do all" piece of equipment. I have a couple of different heads and I wanted the versatility to run either 4/8/16 ohms.
The 4/16 ohm setting is in mono and the 8 ohm is in stereo.
When running mono, the amp has a lot of room to breathe in that those Bugera drivers sound fantastic. In the 8 ohm position, it's possible to run two heads in stereo or simply use just one of the drivers.
I ran an Orange Micro Terror in all three settings and it sounded just fantastic. In stereo, the Micro Terror and the EHX 22 caliber (with a Character series pedal in front of it) gave me an amazing spectrum of tone with a true stereo image coming out of my TC Nova System.
Bugera speakers are the real deal. The cab is sturdy enough and will last if you don't beat the heck out of it. It's not plywood so it's not going to hold up to massive abuse. However, it's not going to fall apart on you either.
Overall, this is THE cab deal out there. The only thing I would like is a convertible open back but that's an easy enough mod.

Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I wanted a stereo speaker cabinet and this was the least expensive I could find. Didn't want a 4X12. This is a 2x12 and it fit the bill. Plus it can be configured to run in mono with a flick of a switich. At 50+ pounds it is not exactly light, certainly lighter than a 4x12 cabinent. I don't like the handle as it sticks up too high and won't allow the amp head I am using to sit level. I just unscrew it after I move it. Still a pain as I know I will loose the screws someday. They should have handes on the side. May do this myself. Using it with a Fender Mustang V amp head running stereo. Sounds good.

Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I love how this thing is way cheaper than alot of the amp cabs out there and its sturdy as hell and REALLY puts out some clear sound, using a Marshall MG 100HDFX head on it (I know, not the "greatest" amp heads ever and I am not a fan of solid state, but this particular head actually has killer tone with some pedals I have added in." I am totally a fan of Bugera amps now.
Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I dont think there is any CAB in the market that equals its features for the same price point.
If you think the stock speakers are stiff sounding, just play it though a couple times and it'll open up
I like that it has the ohm switching switching at the back
2 bugera speakers that are Jensen style with balanced sound to them
The build quality of the cab is very good, i initially expected less but was surprised how the construction was
The faux leather isnt that thick and might scratch easily(so i gave it a 9 there)
however if Tone is all that matter..definitely a 10
for not alot of money, it offers good value
Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Some people have said they replaced the speakers on these, but I don't play that loud, so that hasn't been a problem. My only complaint is that the size of the cab is much larger and heavier than I was hoping. Love the ability to run these stereo so much that is now my default. Huge upgrade for me sound wise. Just wish it could be a bit more compact.
Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Speaker Cabinet is really well built and sounds awesome..nice to have the option of running in Stereo or Mono..4 or 16 ohms..Great Cabinet for little money..The Bugera Vintage speakers add punch to my Bugera 22 watt amp.

Comments about Bugera 212V-BK 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Great bang for the buck.
I have bought a Bugera combo amp V-55. A 1960 head and a 212v-BK 2x12 cabinet in the last year. The tone, sound and the quality have been the best I have ever come accross. The price is the biggest pay off. I love this stuff. Marshall plexi, 60's sound at a fraction of the cost. It's rugged and well made. Longevity?. I don't know yet, but I'm sold on this stuff.
Great tone Built well.
Great value.
