Members Voltaire Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 at most it looks in good condition, 80 bucks is somewhat of a lowball offer for those cabs in that condition. max I'd pay for that is 120-150 and depending on what speakers it has.. it could be good for the mesa.. OR it could be {censored}ty for ANY amp. black widows=sex sheffields=fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chassis and engine are still fine, but getting that power to the road is kinda meh with those cav rims. edit, is that GOB in your avatar?

Members AdamCh311 Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 Stay away from Peavey cabs, they are crap. If you want a good cab for a decent price check out www.avatarspeakers.com . Best Cabs for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 My favorite cab that I've ever used with my Mesa is a cheap GX Crate 4x12 cab. The small magnet speakers aren't quite as efficient so I can drive the amp harder and the tone is really sweet, a lot like the old small mag Jensens.

Members tlbonehead Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 reeeeeeeaalllyy I'm getting one of those cabs for free in a few days And they aren't particle board/MDF. It wouldn't be a very good metal cab, of course. No idea what you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 The guy told me it was a 5150 cab... maybe version 1 or 2... It isn't a 5150 cab. It's the cab that would be paired up with the Transtube Supreme. It would be Peavey's cheapest cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xmorgan socialx Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have a Peavey cab, and I used to have a second. It really depends on what speakers are in it. If it has Celestions like the one I have now, I would pay $100 for it and it will sound good with a mesa, but if it has sheffield speakers, stay away from it. My favorite cab with my DR is a Marshall JCM900 cab though. I don't know what it is, but it sounds so full through that cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have a some nice peavey cabs out there, I just haven't found one. I've played peavey heads through other cabs and loved them. When I play them through the cabs that are designed for them, they don't have any balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nwright Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 The pic is a Peavey 412MS. I used to own one. Everyone has an opinion, but to me that cab was pretty decent. Not great, but for 80-150 bucks it would be a good deal to me, especially if it's in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nitrous2400 Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 its not bad for a beater/ backup cab but the mesa will sound TONS better with a different cab (avatar,mesa,marshall,basson sound). like everyone else said its not going to make the mesa sound its best... personally i wouldnt buy it id save for a used mesa/basson cab if i were you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bdubbs Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm not 100% sure but that would be the ultra series cab. Not bad but I would pick up an avatar cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
