Members Mavesicles Posted February 7, 2010 Members Share Posted February 7, 2010 Moral of the story... Randall cabs will kick your ass and go "So what, you're a Mesa 412, wanna fight about it?!" Ditto I think they are largely overlooked in fact. They're not a brand you think of when buying a cab, but they SHOULD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrCompton Posted February 7, 2010 Members Share Posted February 7, 2010 I don't own or plan to own any of those, but I'm sure the Mesas are the best build. I've never been impressed by how they sound though. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LordThurisaz Posted February 7, 2010 Members Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have a pic of my Ampeg V412 with the new Eminence's in it. I'll have to get my friend to email it to me from his cellphone next time I see him. I would do a gutshot of my Lynch cab, but Eminence has an ad with George in it which has the box open and Mave showed us his XL... so kinda pointless. EDIT: MrCompton -- I used a Laney 212 with Celestion 35 watters for a while that I really liked, but I didn't like so much how the speakers tracked the bass in lower tunings.

Members Unstrung Posted February 7, 2010 Members Share Posted February 7, 2010 Dudes. If your 4x12s are anything like mine, that's a LOT of screws to get the back off, and they're in TIGHT! I wanted to open mine up to check out the Man O War/Governors, but after turning one screw I took a look at the rest and was like "fuuuuck that!"

Members sabrex Posted February 7, 2010 Members Share Posted February 7, 2010 You can get two peavey cabs for the price of a mesa cab. THe peavey cabs sound great and are perfectly gig worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just NO. Gig worthy? Sure they're tough as nails. They sound like absolute ass though. I owned one for 7-8 years. Played it next to all kinds of other cabs. It made some of the nicest amps sound like complete ass. I don't know why I held on to it so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peavey have/had a few that sounded decent but those Peavey cabs are no cheaper than the Mesa, Marshall, Orange, Diezel, ENGL or other higher priced brands. You have been here a month max and talking about someone elses post count that has been here for 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man it has silver piping and its not over sized like the Recto cabs on Mesa's site Dave and I ended up splitting it up. He needed new speakers so the V30s when into the 1960 and I put my Vet30s into the Mesa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
