Lopoline builds a 2-12 that is really deep like the mesa 2-12's. I have one with Scumbacks in it and it sounds killer. really full, resonant. prob like 1/4 the price. custom colors too.

Another idea that popped into my head would be getting one of those Randall 2x12/1x15s and loading it with Vintage 30s and some 15 inch speaker, since I'm going to be (hopefully) purchasing a Vader 2x15 to pair with the 4x12, and with a Randall loaded with those speakers in the recording room I could get some 15 inch recordings when needed too.

I've been wanting to try a Port City cab for awhile now. Also love the Splawn, Bogner OS, and Mills 212's.Tone Zone":3pg1ibgy said:I owned a Mesa recto 2x12 cab for a good number of years. It was a decent cab, although I much prefer my Port City 2x12 cab w/ V30's.
