There's a couple on TM right now aren't there? Not bad prices if I recall.

I find the 1960 (and 800) marshall cabs to be cheap as chips on trademe, but all round a very average cab. They just don't sound "big"

I am far in favour of a (god, please don't smiteth me) Mesa or Soldano or orange cab.

I find it's not a speaker thing, but it's just the construction of the marshall cabs that is kinda average. Not bad, just average.

I guess people like the particualy because they like the look of it with a matching head?

In any case, good value, but very average

an orange cab would be great.. or a marshall 4x12 with greenbacks hmmmmm..

for me, with all the choice in the world I onlny really get a marshall 1960 cab if i was going to put greenbacks in it. Because greenbacks give that kind of weak 'vintage' sound, and so a 'big' sounding cab isnt required

orange cabs are cooooool man, great mid range response

See this is the stuff that put me off playing at the jams the first time round.

all the other amps people brought absolutely smothered anything my little amp could put out.

which to be honest is probably a good thing.

haha, nah man

it's about how it sounds

does you amp sound good?

it sounds good to me.

I just could honestly not hear it last time. not even standing right next to it.

thats why I'm working on trading up.

yeah but I'd probably drop to the AD30.

just working on the money for it. (credit cards bad!)
