That's a 2103X I think, 2x10 and 2x5. Not sure on value I'm afraid.

Basically same as me then, though I like the low mids on it and not the high mids

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1334606287' post='1618516'] Definitely. My GK MB500 sounds very GK-like. My GK MB Fusion, because of the valves in the pre-amp, a bit less so, as it`s a fair bit less clinical, but you can still hear that GK sound throughout. [/quote] Slightly OT but how do you find the MB Fusion vs the 500? Personally I found the 500 too harsh but love the full fat tones from the Fusion whilst it keeps the upper mids for some bite but not in the same brittle way.

[quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1334466486' post='1616472'] I have a Hartke LH500 - you wont get Eddie Jackson out of it! Its a lovely warm clean amp but wont give you an edgey grind as it doesnt have an input gain. Even with a Spector like Eddie used to use. I reckon you need a Sansamp to put a bit of grit into your sound. How about trying a BDDI? Its a cheaper option and you could always sell it on if it wasnt floating your boat. [/quote] I got Eddie Jackson tones when I had the LH500. Depends how you play it

Based on thw sound you want I'd vote MB500/MB800 but you don't want to wait for the USA ones...

Sorry, unhelpful - you know the devil horns? It's them

Metaaaaaaaaaal

The min nominal impedance of the 450 is 2.66 ohms IIRC so any three cabs should be ok.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1332916929' post='1594718'] No, my comparison was all with using my GK MB500 (yes, have had 3 cabs since Dec 2011). [/quote] Ah I see, you tart

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1332875792' post='1594383'] It does make a huge difference. I had an Eden 410 that was 103. Amp volume on 3. I then had a Hartke 410 at 99. Amp had to be on 4 or 5 to get the same volume. I now have a Schroeder 21012 at 104. Amp can go to 3, but it be darn loud. 2 and a bit is better. [/quote] Is that a fair comparison, coz I think (er, recall, i think...) each of those cabs was with a different head too unless i'm mistaken? Volume control position means nowt

Just pulled the trigger on one, looks perfect for my little board

We do this and I have (tp my shame) never sat down and properly learnt it so I just wander around aimlessly whilst watching our guitarists

Headroom, indeed. I doubt you'll hear a huge volume difference between the two anyway. I'm on tenterhooks for the MB Fusion 800....

Personally of what I've heard (which is limited to the 1518 and 1048H) the new stuff is better. Slightly more lightweight but the sound was fuller and less "middy" to me. THe old cabs were OK for their time but things have moved on. That said, the 1153 is still a great cab today The old 1518 was heavy and a bit dull sounding (IMO - no real low end or high mid) but the new 1518 really sounded good to my ears. The old 1048H weighed more than the UK and whilst the new one is still heavy it's an improvement. Again, soundwise the old ones just seemed a little less full sounding than the new ones. The old 2103H was a bit crappy IME, the horn was awful and the drivers crapped out quite early on. Maybe just my style of playing brought that about though

Gotta say the boys at Ashdown were lovely today to both me and Joe. We went over to their stand at the LBGS and Joe said "Hello, I'm the panda" and they spent ages talking to us. Top notch fellas, well done

Well done! My good friend Joe came second, dressed as a panda

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1330628243' post='1560754'] I am very encouraged by your faith in your own product. However, my old dad used to say "never accept advise from someone who will profit by you taking it". [/quote] If Alex was saying "All other cabs are sh1t, buy this it's awesome" then I can understand your viewpoint, but fact is he will offer his advice for the best cab in his range to suit your needs, nothing more. He could have sold you a Big Twin T which is far more expensive, but he disn't, he is suggesting what he thinks is best for you FWIW I play in a loud function band and run a Super12T and absolutely love it. Small and light but a massive massive sound when needed. I have drowned out the entire band going through the PA with just a 200W amp and the S12, it's monstrous.

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1330521110' post='1558726'] Also be aware that the 450mm ones are actually only 236mm long. Just a heads up. [/quote]
