cabs...i know

[fatoni]

its probably been discussed but here it is...i have a mark iv i play into a genz benz g flex. anyways yesterday i played a junk line 6 deal into some marshall 412. it was a little cab, av something or other. the point is it sounded good and was only $400. anyways, i need someone to tell me i either and crazy or to upgrade. which one is it?

marshall 412

Do not dishonor your boogie by putting it on a marshall :twisted:

But if you like the sound of it why not. get it.

 

[Shep]

thats one of the worst cab's marshall make?? are you sure you weren't drunk??ahah

 

[camsna]

No Marshall cab is an upgrade from GB. The Genz Benz stuff is GREAT! You're just used to it and the Line 6 sounded 'different.'

well... i play trough a 1960bv (straight version of the av)... it sounds really great... way better than any lead version...

i still haven't try a mesa, bogner etc... 'caus it's not that easy to find those cabs 'round here... so, maybe they're better cabs, but i trust my ears and i can tell you that the 1960bv (and av that i try as well) sound really good for half of the price of a mesa etc...

I use a Marshall 1960AV for the same reason as mentioned above(mesa = expensive and rare). I like it, but I want to get a mesa in the near future too.

yeah of course... but i won't trade a closed back for another one, even a mesa... the only ones that really want to have are the half-back, especialy the old one with the metal "i-don't-remember-the-english-word-for-that-thing-on-the-front-side-of-the-cab-that-protect-the-speaker" :lol:

The grill?

And yes half backs are badass.

 

[user 7737]

yep... that's it... the grill... :roll:

sometimes i wonder if should not try to made one by myself and modify my 1960bv to an half open back...

Have to disagree with that - both my mark iv's sound incredible with my old marshall 412 - i think it's a '76 or so. almost as good as with the one i used to have with the greenbacks in it. the one i have now has 75 watt celestions in it i think - haven't had it open in a while.

have never ran a boogie 412 so it might be better but the marshall sure is sweet sounding.

You need to try it with a boogie cab. It will change your life.
