Members fragglerick Posted April 26, 2007 Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 I've come to the descision that I want a cab w/ greeniesI'm running a Splawn Quickrod through a Mesa 4x12 standard cab and it's way too bright with the V30's. How do you think the GB's will sound in the Mesa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think the GB's will sound in the Mesa? I've run a Splawn Quick Rod through my Mesa Roadking 4x12 and I thought it sounded dark! I wanted a Greenback cab as well, but I wasn't sure about putting them in a Mesa enclosure...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weathered Posted April 26, 2007 Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 Probably pretty good. Boogie cabs are well built, and the size of it might thicken up the Greenies even more. I'd say go for it, and if you don't dig it, I'll buy the Greenbacks from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fragglerick Posted April 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 Probably pretty good. Boogie cabs are well built, and the size of it might thicken up the Greenies even more. I guess I'm worried that it might be too well built (if that makes sense) thus making the GB not sound as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Menace Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have a QR and just bought 4 UK Greenbacks, I'm gonna throw two of 'em in my Mesa cab tonight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members killersoundz Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 i'd go for the g12h30's just because they handle slightly more power and are louder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Heineken Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 I wouldn't do it. Those Mesa std. cabs are built around the v30's. The oversized constuction just gives them the more bass and less harsh mids that Marshall v30 cab's have. I can't imagine any other speaker sounding good in it. Greenbacks would be too dark and T75's too bassy i would think though i never tried it. You probably just don't like v30's and should buy a Marshall 412 with greenbacks.

Members TomCTC Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 Don't go Greenbacks if you want a darker sound. I wouldn't replace the speakers in that cabinet either. As mentioned, the Rectifier cabinets are built for those Vintage 30s. You should sell it and get an Orange with V30s and X pattern it with G12-65s.

Members fragglerick Posted April 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 buy a Marshall 412 with greenbacks. This seems the likely route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V30's are definitely a brighter speaker than the Greenback all the way around. I think that the reason that people assume that the Greenie is bright is because it doesn't have a lot of bass, and people don't adjust their amps for the new speakers. Broken in Greenbacks are anything but bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 marshall cab + GB sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shreder75 Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 greenies aren't as bright as the V30s, that's for sure...they dont' have that upper spike that the 30s have.. BUT, not sure how they're going to sound in a mesa cab...I've played greenies in a couple marshalls, a mojo and a splawn cab...I thought it sounded best with the mojo and splawn cabs...

Members Craggin Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 so I see! lol... The only reasons I haven't sold the Mesa Cab are: 1) It's built like a friggin' tank. 2) It sounds good with my Road King. 3) I haven't sold my Road King. I'm eventually going to sell the Road King/Mesa Cab...but I've got 4 Greenies waiting to go into a cab. I love the Hellatone30's in my Splawn 4x12...and just don't feel like buying more gear right now. If the Greenies sound good in the Mesa...who knows. I do know that I HATE the Mesa/V30 with my Quickrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably just don't like v30's and should buy a Marshall 412 with greenbacks. actually, the Mesa Recto Standard is built around Mesa's MC90 Black Shadow, which is what it was originally issued with. man, i hate the V30s in that thing, gave a ton of sizzle and quite a bit of thump to the sound, but i thought it was too dark but still harsh, and seemed to be almost without harmonic overtones... both of which i could see being solved by a set of greenbacks. i've been trying to find a set of the MC90s to load into one of those cabs... but goddamn is it hard to find a set at a reasonable price.

I guess in my original post I should have said "trditional" instead of "standard":freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
