Marshall DBS7400 were excellent amps, used to pair mine with the Marshall VBC412 cab.

My first "big cab"was a 1970's Traynor (Yorkville Sound, made in Canada I understand) 2x15 loaded with two Celestion 15's I was given. From memory the cabinet didn't reach seismic lows, although it was plenty meaty for the bands I were playing in, but the upper mid range frequencies were really smooth and present - sublime P bass tone. I ran it with the Marshall Intergated Bass System 200W head, a great lil lead sled, 

 

but I would love to own a Marshall 7400, it's a bucket list amplifer for sure!

I read all the threads on here about older SS being so good but the cabs were heavy so I bought an old GK 400rb and a newish light GK 2x10 cab. Sounds amazing to me!

There's nothing like them. I have two 'just in case' lol

I expect that was a monstrous tone with a cab like that!

I owned a 7415 for a while. A proper Wembley stadium cab - you couldn't hear it on stage, but the people at the back of the venue were pressed against the wall with bass pmsl

Yeah it was a great tone, was only in a pub covers band and to the volume of the drums but the depth of the tone was awesome. The guitarists also used valve amps & 412s so the sound of the band was very full without needing to be overloud.

So to follow up ive started looking at "smaller" Peavey 1x15 BW's   Im hoping with wheels on it wont be TTO much for me....Will update in due course
