5150 Speaker Cabs any good?

kmanick · 03-02-2007, 04:15 PM

I've got a Marshall cab loaded with greenbacks and I don't think they are the best speaker for handling a 7 string. I love it for my "non de tuned" playing
but it gets mushy with my 7 string.
it seems like you can grab a used 5150 cab for relatively cheap, but how
do they sound? anyone here use one?

go try out a 6505 and triple X cab? my triple X cab holds up for drop C just fine.

if you want something which handles power, get the mode 4 or metalhead cab, they have the 100 watt celestions in them

I don't like them, personally.

Alright for live use, I guess, but I MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer a Mesa, Bogner, Splawn, VHT, Framus, etc cabinet.

the triple X cabs are rated for 400W as well. i really need to find a good boutique store so i can hear the higher end cabs.
