Damn! I see this kind of response all the time about Scumbacks. Maybe I need to give one a whirl...I can't recommend them enough.
Careful, careful. One does not simply just get one scumback speaker and think they are done. Most try one and get more, so make sure your wallet and ears are ready.Damn! I see this kind of response all the time about Scumbacks. Maybe I need to give one a whirl...
How good are those Stoneage cabs? What about a 4x12?I've always wanted to take the Scumback plunge and finally did it last year with a StoneAge 2x12" cab. I contacted Jim and told him that my 1x12" cab had the Celestion Alnico Cream and that I wanted something very different in character from that for the bigger cab. He asked about my amps and preferences and suggested that I go with the BlackBacks with the large dust cap. So that's the way I went.
When the cab arrived I realized that the combination of the aggressive cab design and speakers really did work together to create a huge, forward sound. It's become a favorite with friends and it has more character than I've experienced from a cab.
That cab is one hell of an experience......so much of that are the drivers. They're instant classics for me. I couldn't be happier.
Yes, it's excellent for that.Is the M75 series a good all around speaker for Classic rock type stuff? No metal or real heavy stuff. I would play it in an open back 1x12 with a Mesa Mark V. He is recommending the M75/100.
I'm familiar with Boogie, Bogner, Avatar, Mather, Dr Z, Marshall, Magnatone, Suhr....so many cabs over the years. The truth is that I've rarely come across a quality cab that I think is leagues above the others. There are different approaches that lead to different characteristics and the Bogner, Suhr and Z cabs have always been my favorites for bigger cabs.How good are those Stoneage cabs? What about a 4x12?
