Finally bought a new cabinet, and this one I will not sell anytime soon! :)

Before I had a Engl 4x12 with celestion V60's wich are pretty awesome, but I couldn't get it to sound how I wanted. Then I traded that for a Marshall Mode Four MF400, with the G12 K-100 speakers. Oddly I didn't like it at all... Sharp and kinda thin sounding compared to the Engl, so I sold it pretty quick. After that I went to a large musicstore where I tested some Orange 4x12, Mesa Recto 4x12 and a Bogner 4x12, all loaded with V30's. I liked the Mesa Recto the most.
Then I finally found a good deal on a used Mesa Road King 4x12 cab. I took my Triple Rectifier with me so I could test it, and damn, compared to the Marshall MF400 cab sound I still had in my head, this cab sounds soooo much better!

It is the Road King 4x12, which has a two cab in one design. It has two Celestion V30's on one side, and two Celeston/Mesa C90's on the other side. The V30's have closed back, while the C90's are openback. You can either use the V30's or C90's, or combine them, which sounds absolutetly awesome! I actually like the openback C90 side really much, and use it right now, without the V30's.
Fills up the whole room, so full and rich sounding!
So, I finally found the cab to match with my Triple Rectifier RevF, and I will hang on to this one! :thumbsup:

Some pics.

Right on. I'm GASing for an older metal grille Mesa cab with that speaker combo myself.
 
That's a sweet pairing and god-damn if that Chrome Chassis/Blackplate isn't giving me Recto Gas *AGAIN*!!!! \m/

A guy here in Holland is selling one in mint condition with that speaker combo, and is asking 650 euro. I don't know where you're located, but maybe it's do able?

I'm in the U.S. Plus that is like $800 US dollars. They go for about $300 here.

DAMN if gear only was so cheap over here...... :doh:
 
Paid 240 us for a mesa cab with EVs on bottom and C90s on top..kinda beat but sounds great....underrated cab
 
Nice! I am looking to get a mesa cab again for my Blackface Rev E Dual Rec. Currently using a Rhodes 4x12.
 
Wow. I have never been a huge mesa amp fan…but that is a seriously good looking amp.

The mesa cabs I have played through sound f'n awesome though!

Rev E? Never seen a Rev E! Do you have a picture of it? What is the serial? I don't need the last digit if you rather don't tell, I understand :)

The revisions go C,D,E,F,G. E was the shortest run, around serial 508ish-635ish.

Yeah I know, but I never actually heard from somebody they owned a Rev E. Suprises me there were still around 125 Rev E's made. Cool tho!
