Mesa Dummy cab and other cab stuff
Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2023 6:30 pm
I'm considering buying a 4X12 dummy cab. According to the seller, it is a real Mesa purpose-made dummy cab. It has never had speakers or a back panel. He claims that it is built the same as a proper cab.
My plan would be to add speakers (which I already have) and a new back panel and Jack plate.
What do you guys think about this?
I can get it very cheap, but I don't want it if it isn't a legit Mesa cab.
Speaking of Mesa cabs. My OS slant 4X12 is a bit unusual in that it has a strange silver grey finish. I initially thought someone had painted it, but the finish is all over the tolex. In the seams and under the pack panel are all the same. However, using acetone I can remove the silvery finish and it ends up just like regular black tolex. Weird. Anyone ever seen anything like it? Either way, I'm going to use the acetone and remove all of the paint, because it looks terrible.
As for speakers, if I end up grabbing this dummy cab, I have a few options. I have 4 K85s, 4 T75s, 2 V30s, and a pair of Scumback M75s.
I was thinking about maybe the V30s and the M75s. Any suggestions?
