That's just about identical (speakers included) to the 1982a cab I have. I wouldn't mind another one.

Excellent on the customs. I've gotten lucky a few times myself that way. As far as the cab goes, I guess I'll have to make the drive and see. I'm betting I get there and find a quad of T75s. That would suck.

What speakers came stock in the JCM800 cabs? I've read that it could be G12-65s, G12M70s or G12T75s. There's a guy selling one locally and he has no idea what's in it and I'm wondering if it's worth going over and taking the back off.

I'm totally with you. I've tried boosting my Herbert and seen no reason to ever do it again. The herbert just doesn't need it. If you want to "tighten" it up a bit (not sure why the amp needs this, always seemed very tight to me), try engaging the mid cut with the level around noon and the...

I've been using Mesa C90s or older Rola G12-80s (both similar/predecessors to the CL80) mixed with V30s. I love the response of those speakers with my Herbert, either by themselves or in conjunction with V30s. It's much as you describe, plenty of mids, tight bottom and treble that's very...

For all around applications, I think the Traditional is far superior to the Oversized. The oversized cabs have a boominess to them and are kind of muddy, IMO. Not very well defined at all. I played a 4x12 Traditional and a 4x12 Oversized side by side (Bogner Shiva driving them both) and the...

I can't argue with the construction. Mesa cabs are probably the best constructed mass produced cabs I've seen. They are built like tanks. Despite selling my Traditional, I still own 2 Mesa cabs and they are pretty much indestructible. I can't think of a better value out there than a well priced...

The Mesa Traditional is a nice cab, but not great. It's punchy and great for rock but lacks low end and is a very dark. It could stand to be a bit brighter, IMO. I had some issues with it live with a band. It cut fine, but I wanted a little more presence out of it. V30s cut like mad and are...

There was an auction for a pair of 8ohm ones as well. It's a good thing you didn't outbid me on them since you'd probably have them shipped to my house anyway. You may have just ended up with a check for the purchase price.

All I wanted was the speakers. The guy had it posted for trade on a local forum and it turns out he wants $650 for the cab. I wouldn't have even bothered talking to him if I knew he wanted that much for the cab. Makes me appreciate rig-talk requiring a price in the classifieds. I gather he...

I found an early 80s Marshall 1982a cab locally that's loaded with G12-80s. It's beat to hell and I'm trying to find out what a fair price on it is. Anybody have any idea what they're worth? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is these aren't all that valuable or collectible.

I'm not running all 6550s, I have mine mixed with EL34s, but I don't turn the deep past noon most days. At noon it has a ton of low end through my Mills cab, there really is no need for me to go higher.

I'm running my G-Major 2 in the switchable serial loop and I'm very happy with it. Parallel loop didn't work as well for me.

I bought my RFTs here: http://www.tubemonger.com/SearchResults ... e=&Search=

I moved away from V30s for a while but find myself coming back to them. I regret selling of a lot of the V30s I had. I only have a single pair left. Nothing seems to cut through and have that bite like a V30 does. And I couldn't agree more on the Mesa 212. It's a kick ass cab. I doubt I'll ever...

Good to know. I hate spending a ton of money on tubes. It's bad enough retubing 3 or 4 amps with current production tubes. I don't need to start paying premium prices on top of that. Has anyone tried the Mullard RIs? I'm curious about them and haven't gotten a chance to try them out yet.

I've owned Mesa Oversized, Tradational and Road King cabs. I've run all V30s, all C90s, C90s/Vet30s, C90s/V30, V30s/ET65s, Vet30/ET65, Reapers/Vet30s, Reapers/Retro30s, all Reapers, K100s, K100s/V30s and V30s/T75s in most them at different points in time. Most of those combinations have been...

I've recently fallen in love with NOS RFT 12AX7s. Love the tube. Worth every sent I paid for them. They're so good and so much better than the other tubes I've used that it makes me consider dropping some serious $ on NOS Mullards or Telefunkens. As far as current production tubes, my...

I've owned a ton of Mesa cabs (and love them), own a Mills cab and have A/B'd them all side by side with Ubercabs and my thoughts on the matter are this. Get the Mills, if you can't do that, get the Bogner and if you can't do that, get the Mesa. I doubt you'll be unhappy with any of them though...

My red stripe Mark III is damn nice. Keeps up with my Herbert with no problems. Having played a few different stripes, I think the differences tend to be a little exaggerated. That's not to say they aren't different, but they are very subtle differences and there hasn't been a dramatic...
