How is the Marshall 1960TV Cab? Good cab or garbage?

[romanianreaper]

I saw one of these for sale and was wondering if I should pick one up or just swap Greenbacks into one of my own cabs?

Are they decent? Not sure how old it is. Selling for around $600 or so used.

i dont like the vintage look of the cab and prefer the checkerboard grill reg sized GB cab from marshall but the TV sounds so good I cant get rid of it.

Great cab , just a little tAller then standard 1960 cab, love the vintage look and greenbacks sound great. U see cabs cheaper now then just a few yrs ago. Pre 03 I believe are uk made celestions, maybe it's 02.

Ah. So the cab I saw for sale is most likely with the Chinese Greenbacks. That makes sense since it was selling for around $650 or so.

I've used one to record on the last two albums my band did. I always bring my VHT fatbottom cab and end up thinking the TV just sounds better to my ears, could be the room though...

I used 2 of them for years, they were great cabs. I wish I still had them

I had one when they first came out. It was good but I just got sick of lugging it around, the thing was bigger than an average 2X12, so prepare for a heavy load.

I've got one. Good cab overall. Love the look. Chinese GB's sound fine to me. Typical chincy marshall casters
