Sign in to disble this ad
I know a lot of 410s look exactly the same but I thought I'd give this a shot anyway?
The potential seller says its an 8ohm MESA and that it was one of their lower budget cabs but he's not around it right now to take more pictures. Can anyone help or do I just have to wait til he finds time to get more pics?
Thanks in advance...

Beyond that, I can't tell much from that pic. I'm skeptical. What's he asking for it?

edit: mystery cab also looks like it has a carpet covering. Mesa's never used that, right? |

My first thought was Eden.
This one is pretty damn close except the tweeter is different... http://www.amazon.com/Eden-Cabinets-.../dp/B004ZKXCM4 |

Those are decent cabs though, from what I hear.

Its not a super high end cabinet but it sounds good" He has assured me he has the ,"Mesa Engineering" badge for it. Whether he bought it new or used for $250 I'm not sure. I don't want to ask TOO many questions or seem over eager and he get suspicious and up the price

Step 1: Plug it in.
Step 2: Determine if it sounds good or not
Step 3: Determine if it's worth the asking price, and usable for the music you play
....You now no longer need to know who made the cabinet. |

If those cones on the speakers are "dimpled", then I bet thats what it is. Anyways, the input on the back will tell the tale.
