Help Picking out a Cab

tonymustang302 · 04-01-2008, 10:45 PM

Ok, so i bought a Randall MTS series RM100 Head. Got the Module's I want. I need help picking out a cab. I want a Mesa Cab because I love them. Any Idea's on which one? Or would another cab be better?

Thanks

do you need a 412? mesa 212 with C90's (gotta ask for those speakers, but there's no upcharge)

tonymustang302 · 04-01-2008, 11:30 PM

Yes 4x12

Go to a music store that has several brands play your amp through them and let your ears decide. There are so many people here that are too willing to give advice on gear they have never owned, much less played your amp through all of the available cabs. YOu get a lot of Mesa,Vader,Orange, V30's suck comments on a thread like this. Trust your own ears IMO.

I'd suggest buying the speakers seperately and building the cab yourself, if you have access to the power tools. I built my cab for around 400 dollars, and it's everything I want to my exact specifications, no compromises.

Vader

A lot of companies make great cabs other than Vader. Really I hear great tone emanating from just about any decent Mesa, Marshall, Orange, VHT, Diezel, Bogner, Framus, ENGL, etc cabinet quite often. The speakers are mainly what you should be concerned with. Not just the speakers quality but how they mesh with your amp. Some speakers and amps just don't sound great together, while some do.

I'd just troll Craigslist or local shop for a used one.

I wish I knew that when I got my M212, because I really don't like the v30's in it.
