Carvin Steve Vai Legacy 2005 - black tolex

Hello, FYI this is a reluctant sale. I'm getting over a fall where I broke my left arm, my left shoulder, left clavicle, and fractured my right knee. I am a big Steve Vai fan and all around metalhead. When I purchased this Cab I was actually in the market for a Bogner Ubershall 4X12 Cab. When I came across this Cab I thought why don't I just load it with the same speakers that are in the Bogner Ubershall. This is A Steve Via Carvin Legacy 4X12 Cab that comes stock from Carvin with 4 Celestion Vintage 30's 12 inch speakers. The Bogner Ubershall comes stock with two Celestion Vintage 30's 12 inch speakers and two Celestion T75 12 inch speakers in an X pattern. The T75's are the speaker of choice for rock icon Yngwie Malmstein, Joe Satriani, and many others. So at the time I decided to order two T75 Celestion speakers from Sweetwater and install myself thus creating the Bogner Ubershall sound but in a cool looking Steve Vai Cab. Obviously since my injury, rehab, etc., I can no longer pack around this beast of a Cabinet. So Unfortunately, I need to sell. This slanted top cab is on 4 caster wheels and in fantastic condition. No rips or tears in the fabric. Since I have had it, I have only played it at home or at church. So it has not been road gigged. It has been played and used so it does have very minor wear but from a few feet away it looks brand new. My loss is your gain. She sounds phenomenal. Local pickup is available and recommended because she is a heavy well made beast. I thought with help I could ship UPS Ground ONLY IF buyer pays actual shipping. But Reverb doesn't calculate shipping anything over 70LBS. So researching UPS and AI I became aware due to the 92LB. weight and large package dimensions, the shipping could be up to $250+. I copied what UPS and AI says below. So to offer shipping I have to calculate it as anywhere inside the continental USA, Excluding Alaska and Hawaii at $250.00 for shipping. I reserve the right to end auction early if the amp sells on another platform first. Non-Insulting Offers will be considered. She is well worth the drive or shipping fee. God bless, thank you and good luck!

What UPS AI says about shipping:

Shipping a 92 lb package with dimensions of 30 x 15 x 30 inches  via UPS will likely cost between $120 and $250+, depending on the distance (shipping zone) and whether you use residential or commercial addresses. Because your package is under 150 lbs, it will typically be handled as a UPS Ground shipment rather than traditional freight, which UPS usually reserves for items over 150 lbs. 

While exact pricing requires a specific destination zip code, you can use the following estimates and factors to gauge your cost:

• Base Rate (UPS Ground): For a package in the 90–100 lb range, base rates often fall between $60 and $100 for shorter distances, but can exceed $150 for cross-country shipments.
• Large Package Surcharge: Your package has a "girth" (2 x width + 2 x height) of 90 inches. Added to its 30-inch length, the total is 120 inches. If this total exceeds 130 inches with packing material, you may trigger a Large Package Surcharge ranging from $105 to $225+.
• Additional Handling Fee: UPS often applies a fee (approx. $28–$44) for packages over 50 lbs or those with a second-longest side exceeding 30 inches.
• Dimensional Weight: UPS calculates cost based on whichever is greater: the actual weight (92 lbs) or the dimensional weight. Your package's dimensional weight is approximately 82 lbs (30×15×30/166), so you will likely be billed at the actual 92 lb rate.
