Marshall 1960BV

Ok, so Marshall 1960A cabs are literally everywhere. You can find them in probably every major city in the world. But, the 1960B cabs are a lot less prevalent for some reason. I actually much prefer the B cabs because of their straight baffle. They tend to sound a little bit beefier and less piercing. The standard B cabs come with G12T75's which tend to work well with the mid heavy voicing of most Marshalls, but the BV cabs are where it's at! the V in BV stands for Vintage, and that is referring to the Celestion Vintage 30; probably the most popular speaker in rock. They are just very versatile speakers in general. Sounds quality is top notch. Marshall cabs might be a little looser than say a Mesa Rectifier cab, but really they sound great.

My only gripe about Marshall cabs is construction wise. But, I'm not talking about general cab constructions. They do cut corners a bit with the particle board back, but that's not a huge deal. The handles, corners, casters, and switch-plate are all cheap. There is no excuse for this on a 1k cab.

The great thing about Marshall cabs is that you can find them for dirt cheap. There are so many that you can literally buy them for $200 if you find the right cab.

Not the best cab out there, but it does the job very very well.

A good fuck +

"Beefy" ... is the word that comes to mind ... mix of original speakers with eminence in wizard ...

its big big ... pe too ^ ^ actually I had to reduce drastically the bass on the amp because I literally bouffais bass frequencies ...

otherwise it is very well balanced, nice grain ... I have tried a lot of cab in concert: 1960 standard, orange, mesa (sometimes we offer speakers on hand to not have any onboard the bazaar, when there's good I do not hesitate!) ... sincerely, I never came across a speaker that made me think about the fact that it would be pe time to change!

very strong, the wheels are essential weighs its weight gear!

and it is this last point that I was recently passed on an 2x12 ... I have tried a lot but obviously I would never find a 2x12 that will have its seat and potato ...
