Members guitarist17 Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Honestly, has anyone else noticed how expensive 4x12's have gotten? Ibanez cabs that cost 800 bucks? 1200 dollars for a greenback loaded marshall cab? Randall cabs that are over 900 Dollars new? Marshall 1960A/B that are almost 700 bucks new??? Anyone remember when mesa 4x12's were 769, and THAT was expensive at the time? I think its pretty ridiculous honestly, how much 4x12's cost these days!!! Who in their right mind would pay 900 dollars for a marshall MODE 4 4x12 when you could get a diezel/bogner/vht for the same price if not cheaper? Honestly, there is nothing that pisses me off more in the world of guitar gear right now, than the recent markup of 4x12 cabinets. :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bullhead Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 this is why there's a large used market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, but by the time you find a used cab that you are looking for, and THEN pay the 150 bucks to have it shipped to you, it becomes not very worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members D/FW XJ'er Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 I agree. I couldn't believe when I saw a V30 loaded Marshall cabinet that was more than a V30 loaded Mesa cab. Makes the Bogner's, Avatars, Mojotone's cabs seem like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paragraph51 Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just get the low priced Fender or B52 or Ampeg 4x12 cabs and change out the speakers at some later time if they are not good enough sounding for you, but if the stock speakers are too bright, or boomy just slap some sticky putty or clay or gaffers tape on the cones to bring down the resonance and cut the harshness until you can find a satisfactory replacement for them.

Who in the world are you having ship your cabs???? I just had 6 PA cabs(125lbs each) shipped from West Va to Mn for $206. Somebody's getting ripped off. Cabs really haven't changed that much.

Members gunslinger Posted July 12, 2006 Members Share Posted July 12, 2006 I hate Carvins cabs....I've had 2, and they just dont cut it at all... That being said, I'd love to try one of the avatar cabs, and see if they live up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvin cabs are highly respected in the real world,for good reason. Nice well constructed box. They aren't for the "pants-down-to-the-ass" crowd,though. They have a nice honest guitar tone.

Avatar still has 4x12s for $388. hell, i almost bought a Mode 4 for 500 bucks just so i could flip it on ebay at profit (at a guitar center, no less). i like the m4 cabs better than the 1960s, too. i haven't heard the Ibanez cabs, but they're V30 loaded and constructed pretty well (on sight, at least), so they might be worth that. just look around, good deals are not that hard to find.
