New Cab Marshall 1960TV

[DeanM]

I scored a marshall 1960TV today!! bought one used at a pretty good price!! its not perfect. there is a few marks on it but they're mostly at the back anyway so its grand! and from the front it looks almost new. its got 4 G12M greenbacks. TV stands for "Tall Vintage" cos the cab is about 3inches (8cm) taller than the standard size cabs!

Pics to come.

i got a decent price too and is in great condition.
400.00 EUR = 576.547 USD or 339.147 GBP

i was thinkin of upgrading my cheap MG cab to greenbacks but that would have cost the same anyway!! if not more!! so im pretty happy with the deal i got! and id have a better chance of sellin the cab intact rather than the individual speakers.

The 1960TV looks really cool ... and I bet sound even cooler. Greenbacks ... yes perfect for the VM !
Congrats ! Post them pics !

cheers dude!! i was goin to get the 2266 but now im goin to get a 2466. i was plannin on usin a 2x12 with greenbacks which wudn be suitable for the 2466 so wasnt sure what to do. as in go for a 4x12 or a 2x12 with dif speakers. so when i saw this in an advertisement i jumped on it!!

its pretty cool lookin alright! cos i was expectin a black cab with the greyish grill cloth and the standard white marshall logo. but this is kinda greenish i think and has the gold marshall logo. looks very vintage!!

That's a very cool cab. Way too big for my tired old ass to lug around but I know you young guys don't mind.
Congrats, I bet it will sound great. I know Carlo (Slash%$#&) has one.

cheers slowpoke!

yeah me and my friend went up to get it. we had to pick it up in dublin city center and my friend tawt it would be handier to leave the car outside the city n get public transport into it. BAD IDEA!! cos we also had to walk a fair distance!! lucky it has wheels!!! at a rough guess i ended up havin to wheel it about 2or3 miles between transport!! and lifting it at every road or bumpy path!! took us a while to get back to the car with it!! bout an hpur i think!

If thats the one with the kinda silver/grey checked grill cloth I am a bit jealous. I love the way those look. Sounds like you got a nice score grats.

Oh your on the other side of the pond, so I guess I should say something like "that'll make fer a nice bit o kit mate" or something like that

i had to rewire the OT on my amp cos when i was buildin it i was too lazy ta put the extra jack on it!! cos i only had an 8ohm cab!! but this is 16!! but anyway it was only one wire that i had to move!!

this cab sounds excellent!! the greenies delivered exactly what i was hopin for! the old cab sounded muddy and didn really cut thru well if say i was jammin along with a song. id have to turn the amp up to hear it clearly. but this sounds way better!! sounds clear and not muddy at all! and the notes have much more deffinition!! and it cuts thru much better!! the MG cab had mids but i think they wer not good mids. where as this has all the right mids!!!

and thats just with my DIY amp!! i know that with a VM or other amps like jtm45, 1974, 1987, this cab will sound class!!

cheers dude!! and yep thats the one!!

PICS!!!!

LOVE this logo!! really sets it off!!

Why do you have a roll of toilet paper by the computer? Uh......nevermind.

[DeanM]

and a few more!! sorry if theyre massive! and notice how the speaker has made in england round the edge of the green cover? there was discussion on this recently so does that mean i was lucky enough to get an english made set or cud they still be from where ever they come from now? it doesn bother me either way tho.

well thats actually my bros room!! the pics wit the amp on top are in my room! also this cab is massive!! thats a 2x12 beside it and its quite a bit taller!!

[slowpokerhino]

It is my understanding that if they say "Made in England" than they are. The Chinese made speakers will not say where they are made anywhere. The all say "Celestion International LTD, Ipswich, England" on the label which I find misleading in the case of the Chinese speakers.

[DeanM]

that makes sense actually!! cant see them wanting to advertise that theyre made in china!! if these wer chineese speakers tho i wudn care! wudnt bother me. the label would have the base address. so its not claiming made in england but that is where the headquarters are. but yeah yer right i can see people assuming that it is the manufacturing address!.

Your ittsy bitsy amp sitting on top o that monster oversized cab cracks me up. Kinda like baby Huey got his head shrunk with some strange mojo voodoooo.

I know that cab sounds great allready. enjoy bud.

haha yeah i know it does look a little lonely up der on top!!

only one thing i was disappointed with is that i thought it would have the stereo/mono switch but thats not on these models. with that i could have ab'd two amps or play one amp with a 2x12. ya know like just experiment a little. but sure its not that big a deal anyway. i dont even have two amps to a/b!!!

cheers dude! i will enjoy it! all my gear has been cheap ass stuff so far so its great ta have somethin with a bit of quality for a change with this cab and the MXR CC i bought off slowpoke. nxt on the list VM head!!!
