New cab.....

[AdamB]

So, i think that i might be getting a new cab.

I have at the moment an angled Mesa 4 x 12 with v30's. I love the sound, but believe i can get a slightly better sound from a straight cab. And i want something to match my Egnater head colour wise

I still want v30's, but like i said, i want a straight cab this time. Now the options are  -

Bogner 4 x 12 - which actually looks quite similar to the Egnater, both in font of the logo and you can get it in the same colour, roughly £800

Matamp 4 x 12 - Custom build, and super solid construction, but will look quite a bit different from the head even though i can get the colours the same, roughly £600

Egnater 4 x 12 - Custom build, pretty much exactly the same spec as mesa too. Only thing is, shipping costs is going to be mental. Probably about £800 including delivery

Opinions please! Or other options, i'm all ears :D

Get an Orange 4x12 the best sounding 4x12 by far.  PDT_002

Best I ever heard was a Bogner straight 4x12. It is punchy, tight yet resonant, woody. One day I'll have to get one...

Orange sound good yes, but this is more of a cosmetic thing, so oranges are out of the question sorry

You must be all ears if you can hear the difference between an angled and Straight cab!!

But then again, I am a combo guy  :D

The Bogner 412's are supposedly utterly superb. If you can get one in the colour you want I'd go for Bogner. It's potential % resale value would also probably be the best of the three you mention.

  Matamp build quality is good, although make sure that any Matamp cab is to the size that you want. The Bogner and Orange's 4x12 success is a lot down to sheer size. Matamp are a bit reticent at publishing their cab sizes on their website.

  As a fourth option, reconsider the Orange 412, and then getting it re-tolexed in your preference colour - might work out cheaper than the Bogner.
  All in all it's a tough choice. The truth is that you would probably be pleased with any of those cabs.

Another option is my Martamp 4x12, as seen in Twinfan's avatar.
Identical to the Matamp one, except for the picture frame front. Mine have the standard front.
£520 delivered to Manchester, and a choice of colours,grillcloth and piping.
Feet, castors or skids.
Corners in gold, black, silver or none.

Cheers!  :)

Zilla cabs have a sale on at the moment

[AdamB]

Thanks everyone :D

Having trouble finding a bogner 4x12 on the net at the moment as it all seems to be the line6/bogner stuff

I will look at martamp stuff today, thanks Martin.

Any link for the Zilla Cabs?

Adam - if you're still in Manchester let me know if you want to try my Martamp 4x12.  I've got two V30s and two G12Hs in it  :)

^ I remember reading about a couple people complaining about zilla cabs. I was going to get a spare 1x12 but then I bailed out.

I should think Martin / Matamp is the way to go esp given the price and complete choice of covering tolex etc!
