Look at this,
Mesa Boogie placed in 4x12 this cabinet.
When you search cabinets of 4x12 they turn out to be these: http://www.delta9studios.com/images/gear/RectoCab.jpg

And in the page of Mesa Boogie they turn out to be these: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_In...ass4x12-LG.htm

To the OP, the only time Mesa Boogie used those guitar like cabs, which were modified for bass, was a 4x12 in the early 80’s that I am aware. Otherwise the tall 4x12 you saw on the current Boogie site is there current offering.

The bass cab is almost 20" deep with a volume of approx 12.7 cu ft

I'm pretty sure he meant narrower, as in not as wide.

That probaly IS what he meant, but I figured I would point out the obvious difference in internal volume between the cabs (as should be expected with bass & guitar cabs).
