Thanks for all the feedback guys. Thanks to a head's up from racerxrated, I have a rear-loaded Uberkab on the way from GC. Scored it for $449+ tax. They didn't even charge me shipping.
Was that on their site? Just before I posted on here, I looked on their site and only saw a slant for $649.00. :confused:
I was on board with the Uberkab but realized I really like slants better....and I noticed a Bogner slant in mint condition for 500. So I grabbed it on GC.com. :rock:

I would take the Mesa without a doubt. The uber cab is cool, but the Mesa Standard straight sounds killer. Big tight bottom end, no shrill top end. You rarely see Mesa standard straight cabinets for sale...

Couldn't pass up an Uberkab for $449. Uberkabs come up for sale used far less than straight Mesa cabs. If I don't gel with it I'll chase down a Mesa cab.


If you dont Gel with it, let me know. As mentioned, I'm relatively local to you...
 
I spent a lot of time with a Mesa Traditional 4x12 and a regular Bogner 4x12 with all V30's. The Bogner was a little warmer, it sounded older. The Mesa was crisper more highs and lows, the Bogner had more in the mid i think. I think with some amp tweaking it wouldn't be that much of a big difference. But I also wonder if the Mesa had the big tampon loaded in it how much would the tone change? :lol: :LOL:

I know my wife's tone changes dramatically, and not for the better, when she has the big tampon loaded in it...

Yeah, without the Bogner tampon you get a bloody rich tone.

Too chunky for my taste.
 
UPS dropped it off today and it's in fantastic shape for only $449. Just a couple of minor abrasions in the tolex, but otherwise no issues at all. I had a little time to test it out and wow does this cab really bring the Uberschall to life. I haven't had time to play my other amps through it yet, but it's amazing with the Uber.

My only gripe is that the guy I talked to on the phone at Guitar Center said it included casters but there weren't any with the cab. I'm not too concerned at this price though.
