Mesa M9 on the way - now which cab?!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey,

I just order a Mesa M9 head, but I am not sure about which cab to get. The mesa cabs are out of my budget, but I was looking at a WARWICK W611-4PRO (6x10 900watts @ 4ohm).

I am looking for one powerfull cab to use with the Mesa.

Any suggestions?

cheers

Hold out for a Mesa cab! Possibly a used one. I saved a ton of money buying my Powerhouse412 used and its an amazing cab in every way.

I would keep an eye on the classifieds here on talkbass.

If you could find a Bergantino NV215 or NV412 or NV610, any of those would be very cool with the M9 or a PH610 would be phenomenal as well...in fact choosing amongst those cabs would be all about your tone goals.

Personally, I think I'd have to choose between the NV215 and the PH610.

A 2nd hand Accugroove Whappo Jr. or an Acme Low B-4 would probably be a great match-up as well.

I really like my PH 610 - it has sounded great with every amp I've ever run thru it... I also really like the PH 412, SWR's Goliath Sr and Megoliath, Ampeg's SVT810e and SVT-410HLF, and Bergantino's NV610 and NV215... I also played a Trace Elliot 215 once that I really like - same thing with a Mesa 215...

You've got yourself a really nice amp, now don't skimp on your speakers. +1 for either saving up a bit more, or shopping used, but get a nice cab to pair with your nice head.

+1000 to the guys that say save up more. IMHO its better to have a great cab before a great head.

Mesas also play extremely nice with the Bergantino NV lines. For the last 3-4 years I've either had a Berg or Mesa cab with my Mesa head(s), and those are the best I've ever come across.

But yeah, Mesa 412, 610; Berg 610, 215, 412 will all rule.

The WW 610 is really bad. I was disappointed in every aspect.

Depending where you live in europe, you could contact this guy: http://fmc-audio.jimdo.com/
Top quality, very light (ex. sealed 810 with US eminence, just like the original ampeg but only with 44kg/97lbs), very good sounding and reasonable priced.

Me too. My previous recommendations still stand, but...yeah, I'd take a Barefaced cab over an LDS IMO, if they were accessible (and affordable) here in the States.

Here's a link to the Big One.

Here's one to the Super Twelve.

Either will kick serious &$$!!!

That's what I'd do. The powerhouse 412 will take you where you've never been before!

The Mesa M9 works really well with the Aguilar GS Series cabs as well (no experience with the latest DB cabs). I push a GS412. GS112 (x) and Mesa PH 412 Cab with mine...... Great match!

That's what I was thinking. The Glocks have to be fairly plentiful in Europe. And the ones that I heard at a NAMM show sounded great.
