Mesa Cab: Thoughts on this one?

Oh yeah Ace you are right-on with wanting the recto-212. That cab will really match well with a stiletto head. It won't sound as wide a 412 but the mids and highs are really full and warmer.

And like I said - the Marshall cab angled is really what I'm looking for. I doubt I'd ever take a 4x12 to a gig.

I've never had a stiletto head, but most accounts of them by owners are that they are naturally very bright, some even say they can easily get raspy with the bigger recto cabs.

Again - I don't NEED a 4x12 cab, but it would be nice to have. And the Stiletto, is Mesa's Marshall, so to speak.

Agree with Securb, in the used market -slants are easier to find that are nice. -and I like slants better for live -because I know whats going on better (I'm tall dude)
If you don't need a 4x12 -I wouldn't even consider one -too annoying to move for shows after age 29 and too big to pressurize the cab to proper volume at the house.
-I'd do a nice looking cab, like a 2x12 slant like Marshall Origin (used 250-300) cab and load it with something magical personally
You can always get another 2x12 for dual side by side if you need to go big.

That's a great looking cab. I say do it, and worry about speakers later.

I am not sure about the market down there but up here Marshall B cabs are impossible to find a deal on. However, Marshall slanted cabs are everywhere and cheap especially if they are empty. I got my Marshall JCM2000 and the JMC 900 cab (loaded with speakers) for $650.
I would look for an empty slanted cab and load it to your liking.

I'm not a fan of metal grill cabs in general -noisy for recording and don't protect against the most likely danger to your speakers at a show -beer and water.
