My pants don't have ears. I prefer slants.

Great buy. I think a bought a new Carvin MTS3200 cab for that price almost 25 years ago, so given today's prices you definitely got a good deal.

It just needs to be distressed a bit to make me think "Marshall cab."

I prefer the look of straights but I understand why slants are the way they are.

Then I started seeing these newfangled hipsters start turning slants on their side around 2010. Heresy! Those casters on the side could hurt someone.

It made me realize slants as the top of a full stack have been sending sound up above our heads unnecessarily for decades (assuming the audience is below the stage).

Suddenly projecting sound out in a wider field started to make more sense.

This, however, made the classic looking straight seem a bit obsolete, so I had yet another reason to dislike the slant.

I prefer mic'ing up slant cabs, personally. The speakers on the slant part of the cab have less clutter going on in the low mids, usually. You also get less of a hollow phasey sound from standing waves betweent the baffle and the back panel.

Did you figure out what speakers are in it yet?

 

[Aceman]

No - busy. Got a gig Saturday and busy.

I will say that in modeling world, I prefer the greenback 25's, but my Stiletto is pretty bright. Early tests say it sounds good with the head.

Turn your cell flashlight on. Stick it up to the grille cloth.

75s have a large dust cap. V30s are smaller dust caps.

I bet it has 75s in it. Does it give you a wattage rating on the back jack?

Lol don't mean to be all pushy but I want to know what you really got there ha ha ha

All right brother - just for you...drum roll.....

 

[Aceman]

Just for fun...in my MX212

G12P-80's

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

Yay! 75s kickazz ! Double congrats brother!

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

Wattage is 150

150w is stereo, 300w rms mono.

I think my next project is Greenback 25's for the 2x12!

As much as I don't like the 1960 cab in my modeler for an 800, a 5150, or the Soldano models I gravitate to...Really liking the 1960 cab for my Mesa!

 

[ErikH]

There's a Crate Blue Voodoo 4x12 for sale locally for $150. I certainly do not have a need for a 4x12 but that is a steal. The heads sucked but the cabs were solid.

Get it!!!!!

You don't per chance live in/near Leesburg GA ?

 

[ErikH]

Get it!!!!!

I have zero need for a 4x12.

Nope. I'm in the Fort Worth, TX area.

 

[Demanic]

Unless it's a closed back, I wouldn't do Greenbacks in a 2x12. Too bright.

Me either...Are we now entering the phase of life where we only buy gear we need, because if so, you need to call palliative care. Nothing left to live for.

 

[ErikH]

Meh, enjoy your cabs. I don't have an amp head to use with one and I've had my share of cabs in the past. I'm plenty happy with my combo amp or running DI through a good PA. There's more to it than gear for me.

I find 2x12's slightly darker than 4x12's. Slightly less open in both ends of the spectrum, both lows and highs. Less internal volume tends to do that. When they're built comparably, that is.

Plus you also have the choice of 8 or 16 ohm speakers. 16 ohm versions of the same speakers are brighter, so 8 ohm GB's would certainly be darker than the 16 ohm variations you typically find in Marshall 4x12's.
