I'm done hauling a 4x12, Help me find a small replacement!
I have a Mojo 4x12 loaded with scumback m75's. Sounds great, but I'm not hauling that sucker anymore. Who makes a really great sounding 1x12? I might entertain a 2x12, but I'm leaning 1x12. I'd prefer a classic marshall styling, maybe a bluesbreaker look. I know nothing does what a 4x12 does, but give me some suggestions on something that would still sound pretty close when mic'd up. Something that can be ordered unloaded too. I'm gonna throw one of the scumbacks in there, and maybe sell the rest, I dunno. Hook a brother up!

For a big sound in a small package, Port City cabs are pretty hard to beat.F#m7 wrote:I have a Mojo 4x12 loaded with scumback m75's. Sounds great, but I'm not hauling that sucker anymore.

Swanson Style II (Thin Edge) with Valence! Crazy good stuff.
Or, there's always my homebrew 1x12 TV front (now has tilt back legs and leather handle, Scumback M75,
)

You'll probably have to get a higher wattage Scumback so you should ask him about cabinets he has been selling great cabs for ages.

I've switched to low wattage amps as well, so the 25w scumback will be fine. But, I'll check Jim's cabs out for sure!908ssp wrote:You'll probably have to get a higher wattage Scumback so you should ask him about cabinets he has been selling great cabs for ages.

Many people say the Egnater 1x12 cabs sound good and "big"

I have a Mesa 1/12 with a V30 in it. Sounds great with the 50 watt Variplex. Also fits in the trunk of my Mazda with the head and 2 guitars and a pedal board. Perfect!

Get some roadies, then you can get the two head/two bottom cab rig to all your gigs.
Don't forget the variacs, I swear the stuff coming out of the wall is all over the place.
Then you can sit at the bar and watch the setup....... oh yeah, insist they wear bikinis!
