Crate Cabs...Yay or Nay?
Hey people...
My question here is regarding a crate cab mixed in with my triple rec, and a seven string in Bb tuning.
I was going to get a Mesa cab but the bitch on Ebay is being retarded....so its off to plan B
Up first is the BV412 SVB
Specs are as follows:
Code:
Output Power Rating: 4 or 16 ohms Mono, 8 ohms Stereo
RMS Power Rating: 240 watts Mono, 120 watts Stereo
Peak Power Handling : 480 watts Mono, 240 watts Stereo
Frequency Response : 70Hz – 5kHz
Sensitivity: 100dB SPL 1 watt/1 meter
Maximum SPL : 120dB
Transducers : (4) Celestion 12" 16 ohm Vintage 30 speakers
Full Range Inputs: (3) 1/4" jacks: Mono In/Out, Stereo Left and Right
Dimensions: (H x W x D) 31-1/2" x 30" x 14"
Weight: BV412SVB: 106 lbs; BV412SVS: 110 lbs
Next is the BV412 RVB
Once again specs:
Code:
Output Power Rating: 4 or 16 ohms Mono, 8 ohms Stereo
RMS Power Rating: 240 watts Mono, 120 watts Stereo
Peak Power Handling : 480 watts Mono, 240 watts Stereo
Frequency Response : 70Hz – 5kHz
Sensitivity: 100dB SPL 1 watt/1 meter
Maximum SPL : 120dB
Transducers : (4) Celestion 12" 16 ohm Vintage 30 speakers
Full Range Inputs: (3) 1/4" jacks: Mono In/Out, Stereo Left and Right
Dimensions: (H x W x D) 31-1/2" x 30" x 14"
Weight: BV412RVB: 106 lbs; BV412RVR: 110 lbs
Obviously the first one is an angled cab....which I heard is preferable as a "first" cab...I'm just curious if this would be right for me. Are they built like a tank....and they better sound good....they do have V30's after all.....someone help me out once again please.

I got recommended Crate above Marshall.
Should be good. The shop that recommended them had a pretty enthusiastic endorsement in them.
Bb tuning? Meshuggah inspired, perchance?

They will recomend anything they feel like selling,dont take what they say for fact.Anyway BV cabs are indeed built like tanks,and they last just as long.They definately up there with the others.And do go for the angle first,especially if you plan on getting two cabs in the long run.

If you can find one on E-bay, they're a great value. And they do sound very good.

I'm gettting a new one for around $789. Buying cabs on Ebay is a tedious venture....I already played that game with the Mesa and I got turned off.

I want a 7-string just for that tuning, and it's a convenience factor to be able to play both in Bb and Eb on the same guitar.

I'm using the Triple Rectumfrier (as xdisx said)..... 
I think I'll settle for the crate cab....no more ebay for a while. They piss me off.
