Members Say Ocean Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Don't. Get a used 2x12 or an avatar 2x12. Cheaping out on the thing that reproduces the sound kinda defeats the purpose of spending all that money on a nice amp doesn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rindgecore Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Search craigslist, you'll find better cabs for under 200 than an MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Voltaire Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 well, if you're trying to get a leftover crack tone-then i'd say go with that cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComingApart Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 The MG cabs are tiny.A full-size head sitting on a MG cab would be a bit on the comical side I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fistacuffs Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 I wanted one because of the low price. but I picked it up and it weighed nothing, pass on it used 5150 cabs are dirt cheap-- but real birch plywood, and sturdy casters. the speakers are not as bad as people around here make it seem.

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 These are "horrible" cabs. I don't know how Marshall could put thier name on these. The first night I got my DSL 50, I was out of town and jammed with some old friends. They had an MG 4x12 so I used it. The Bottom end kept farting out the worst of any cab I have played. Highs were very harsh, only the mids were good. Get a used Peavy, or Ampeg for $200, or save and get a Real Marshall used for $300-$400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FalseRevRG Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 sometime i need to post a clip of a recording from a small show i played in my garage when i was 17....i was playing through an MG50RCD combo, and while the performance kinda sucked, the tone is surprisingly good. i bet if i didn't tell people what the amp was, i'd get a few people saying good things about the tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dolf Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nutshell: The cab is the worst part of the {censored}ty amp. A good cab with good speakers will make a {censored}ty MG sound somewhat OK. A great amp through an MG cab will still sound like balls soaked in balogna sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
