Marshall 1960BHW

[DET1973]

Who owns one or more and what can you tell me about how they sound?

Do you mean the 4x12 bottom cabinet?

I've got one I bought from Brad, it's a killer cab. Honestly a HUGE improvement over the sound of my 1960bv with v30's it's tighter louder, fuller warmer... every good thing about it. Built really well to boot! Great price and competition for mesa cabs plus it's wired for 16ohms something mesa's aren't normally!

I'd love to try one with my 1980 2203 JMP

It's great man, plus the speakers are made in UK not China, the speakers alone if bought seperately are like $200+ depending on where you get them from. IMO it's a great cab especially for the price if you can pick one up used. Maybe Brad can chyme in, and just for the record I've never owned any of the new OS cabs like Mills or anything so I can't comment on how this compares but I'm always going for a more old school sound and this cab is exactly what I was hearing in my head.

Do these come with Heritage or standard G12H30s?

Heritage speakers in these.

Yes then, i just picked one of these cabs up last week for $500 Sounds great and the Heritage speakers are nice. I have heard some negatives about the Heritage speakers, but they sound great in this cab.

My thing is, i'm a Hardcore punk guitar player and i was looking for something to match with my Marshall, i have an OS recto cab and i hate it but i'm going to use it for my studio. i go for more of an old school warm punk/hardcore sound rather than some of the newer more modern(read metal) sounds.

If you are a hardcore punk player like the original 80's hardcore punk, then you will like this cab. If you do the cookie monster vocal hardcore then you will like it but you will fry the speakers with all the chunk a chunka.

I will trade you 2 boogie cabs for it... I actually would....

Nah, i like it. But do you have any V30's you need to unload?
