    Loving my 1960A (pics)

    Man, finally got some pics of it. Not like no one has seen a 1960A before. But what was cool about this is it had a blem so I got it for $600 before my trade in. If you look there is a slight blemish in the grille cloth. Ill take that for $200 off. Its just so weird though. I said this in...

    best cabinet for darker sound

    just found a post on how the there are more than 1 variation of V30 out there. What was tripping me up was marshall stating that their mode four 280 a and b cabs were 280watts. Celestion claims the speaker is a 60 watt speaker. The math didnt add up. But then I found out as well that the...

    best cabinet for darker sound

    I thought those mode four cabs came with a speaker based off the V30 but with extra power capabilities. Do the higher watt speakers sound like an original V30?

    mesa (not oversized)cab

    The standard size mesas to me are their best sounding cabs. They are tight and aggressive. The low end is subdued but to me an oversized cab can sound woofy. I wouldnt say its a better cab than what you have but simply different. I would look on youtube as there are quite a few a/b...

    best cabinet for darker sound

    I would look at a genz benz Tribal 412. I actually traded mine in for a marshall 1960a since I wanted a brighter sound. Those cabs with the eminence private jacks are some of the darkest sounding cabs ive heard. Put it this way. I have a peavey 6534+ which is in the same family as the 6505 &...

    Does a Marshall Power Brake sound/work better than a Hotplate?

    I think it really depends on your requirements. Remember the marshall is only rated for 100 watts which is standard marshall fair. Now Im not sure how much you can push one of those things. Most new peaveys are rated at 120 watts but according to the manual they push more than that on average...

    ENGL Standard Slant 4x12

    Not according to the engl website. The standards are listed as particle board with siberian birch baffle board. Only the pros are made from full siberian birch. Where are you getting your information?

    ENGL Standard Slant 4x12

    well if thats the case then I dont think you can go wrong. Even with the standard cabs being particle board I would have to think engl would make one that was far superior to other cabs made of the same material. Put it this way, it will probably eat MG cabs for breakfast, crate cabs for lunch...

    ENGL Standard Slant 4x12

    The only thing that worries me about the engl standard cabs are that they are made of particle board. Their pro series is supposed to be much better and made of birch. I believe the actual baffle on the standard is birch but with particle board back sides top and bottom. While engl makes great...

    Cab lining, When did marshall stop this?

    Whats up clammy!! how are them new boots treating you? No man I bought them new from a sam ash store here in illinois. I remember it well since at those times I was very picky and everything I bought had to be new and in the box. I wouldnt purchase anything off the floor. Now I look for...

    Cab lining, When did marshall stop this?

    Thats really strange. These werent used cabs. I worked at Sam ash music in buffalo grove illinois for about 2 years. I got the cabs from them still in the boxes. One was a 1960A and another was a 1960B. I believe both were just the standard marshalls at the time. They had the black cloth...

    Speaker choice for VERY high gain?

    I personally like the stock g12t75s in a 1960 cab. Its all preference though really. I know guys who swear by V30s and others need low watt speakers. I say let your ears decide.

    Cab lining, When did marshall stop this?

    Hello guys, well after a long hiatus from anything marshall Ive found that no cab sounds as good as they do. I used to have a 1960a and b but when I was young and stupid I thought you HAD to have the matching cab for whatever head you were playing. Well nothing sounds like a marshall cab. So i...
