Ok guys! So after alot of reseach and time debating, I am going to purchase a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. My only dilemna now....what cab to pair it with.....
Now, I'd love a Recto traditional cab, but I can't spend $900 on a cab after I'm already spending $1700 for the head, so I'm looking for some good alternatives. I'm looking for a big, heavy, yet defined and articulate bass, which is why I was planning on a traditional over the oversized in the first place.
So, do you guys have any recommendations for a cab to pair with my Dual recto....I've been recommended many cabs.....here is what I've thought....
1. Carvin Legacy 4x12: Well built cab, has V30's like the recto ($600 new/450 used)
2. Carvin V3 4x12 (has Celestion G12T75s.....are they any good? I've heard mixed reviews....$550 new.....400 used)
3. Avatar Cab with assortment of speakers: This is where I think I could really have some fun with some good speakers....I've heard very very good things about the Eminence swamp thangs and governor....would a mix of them be a good idea? I can always get V30s with them too.....What combos do you suggest?($450 new/used?)
4. Vadar cabs have been recommended to me....I don't think I'm going to go with them.....
So, what do you guys think? Do I go for something that is similar to the recto cab? How are the G12T75 celestions?
What do you suggest with avatar?
All your help is appreciated!!
