Re: Mesa Cabs...
Yes, but I'm not really interested in the idea. I'd rather carry one piece of gear than two.
A pair of Horizontal Recto 212 V30 cabs make for a compact half stack. I use a HR 212 cab under my Maverick 212 combo, and it adds a lot of low-end punch to an amp that is normally a little bass-shy. And it's portable! Lots easier to deal with a pair of 212s than trying to fit a 412 into the back of your Civic.
I drive a Tacoma, so size is a moot point.
Or, if you really need the option of the slant cab, consider a pair of Vertical Recto 212s. Same advantages, slightly differerent tone, and again...V30s.
Looked at them, but they're nearly as large as a 4x12... so much so that I might as well use a 4x12.
I personally think the old Mesa Half-Back 412s and 212s are some of the best sounding cabs ever made.
I've always wanted one. My buddy had one and it was a great sounding cab. If one ever comes up locally I'd grab it, but I live in a place where Peavey, Marshall and Fender are considered 'high end'.
I'd be really interested in hearing which of their cabs Mesa recommends with the Mark V head; but I'd guess they would probably recommend the Stiletto cab.
I believe the widebody cab lines are the one's specific to Marks.
But yeah... Stiletto or Recto (cab)... I don't know which one they'd say.
