Howdy folks,

Mesa Boogie Roadster Horizontal 2x12 Cabinet with Slip Cover:
Let me start by saying that thisis in AWESOME condition - nearly "like new". The only thing preventing me from saying it is new is that it is used and I am sure someone out there will find a flaw. It is completely stock and loaded with v30's from Mes

That looks new! When did you get it? Why are you selling it!?

 

[Jmango]

I got it about 6 months ago from the original owner who never used it.

Ironically, I am selling it because I don't use it.

ha. yeah, that seems to happen a lot. does the roadster cab sound similar to the rectifier cab?

This would get posted right after I got my new one for full price :evil:

does the roadster cab sound similar to the rectifier cab?

I'm a Roadster 2x12 cab owner of 2 weeks and have played the 2x12 Recto cab many times in different stores, so take this for what it's worth. I think that the roadster cab and recto cab have very similar overall characteristics, which makes sense seeing as how they are made from the same wood, same speakers, same construction... the only difference is the size, just like the recto and stiletto 4x12's. But just like in the 4x12's, the smaller size of the roadster cab rolls off a little of the very high frequencies and is tighter in the bass frequencies, making it less scooped sounding (and a little more well rounded and versatile IMO) than the rectifier cab but still with its same inherent tonal qualities. I was concerned that, using the roadster 2x12 with my Mark V, I wouldn't get enough bass response. After playing through it for a little bit, I wouldn't bee too worried. With the cab on the floor, you can definitely still feel the bass transfer through the room and back up into your hands. In my experience, the recto cabs (2x12 and 4x12) don't so much add bass response as they alter the way it reacts. Some people might like what it does for their tone, but I personally think that it just makes the low mids sound really woofy (in a bad way) and takes away some of the definition of the sound. IMO, Roadster cab > Recto cab.

Good luck with the sale!
