Need Help identifying a mesa cabinet.

[squeally dan]

I just bought a Mesa cabinet but I can't find much about it. Its a vertical 2x12 in burgandy with what looks like Keather corners. Its a slant face 2x12. It says Mesa boogie on the grill instead of mesa engineering. It looks a little smaller than the current 2X12 vertical recto cabs. Can anyone tell me more about this cabinet. What is it worth? I may have paid too much. Also, what years was it likely made. I won't have it in my possession until Friday so I don't know muc helse about it.

Thanks!

That looks to me like a custom finish to the old 2 x 12" vertical cab they use to produce. I think they used to have two different speakers in them, an EV in the sealed enclosure at the bottom and a Celestion at the top. I may be wrong on that one. Mesa have used a couple of types of name plates on their amps and cabs over the years - 'Boogie', 'Mesa Boogie' and 'Mesa Engineering'
But I'd get rid of that VHT and get yourself a proper amp (Mesa) to match that cab :lol:

I just go a Heartbreaker head and I'm scared its going to be too large for this cabinet.

I think thats the cab that came out around the time of the dual caliber amps . Its a custom order though . Wine taurus vinyl and and tan grille cloth . I would assume its the same dimensions , etc.. as the current version . You can check it out on the mesa site . they have a nice page showing all the current cabs .

The person selling me told me he thinks it is somewhat smaller and less bulky in comparison to the new 2 x12 vertical cabs. HOw much you think its worth?

Anyone else have any info? When was this cab made? How much you think its worth?

Why not measure it and check it against the dimensions on the mesa site ?

I saw one of these at GC today. Did not check out the Type of speakers and it was a black version of that same cab.

they had it there for 399$.

Hope this helps.

If we could see the back to know for sure wheather or not it's a "half back". I have one and it is the slightly bigger answer to a 1x12 theile and a 1x12 open. The bottom is tuned and ported and top is fully open or can be closed. With the right speakers in it you would love it (as I do mine)
