CAB TO GO WITH PEAVEY 6505 (ON A BUDGET)

[reneisgod]

If any atall is there any decent used cabs i could pick up for around 200 pounds that will go nicely with my peavey 6505 or am i kidding myself ?

i was thinking about trying ebay for a cab but not sure what cabs sound good with this head.

thanks

A used Crate Blue Voodoo Cabinet with Celestion V30's would work nicely.

for 200 pound ??

Hard to say.

The Pound litterally scares me.

Every time I have been in London Heathrow and see how expensive electronics are compared to the US.

Even music stores in France, Germany and Portugal.

I saw Ibanez RG570's for 1000 Euros when they are like $560 in the USA.

No wonder Andy said he picked up some gear while he was in San Francisco recording Exodus.

So its hard to say.

Here you might find a used cab for $200-400 and think thats cheap.

$400 USA is close to 200 Pounds so possibly. But then it seems like gear is more expensive there so I might think its gonna be more than 200 pounds for anything decent.

But yes, any cab with V30's will probably be decent.

Even if you can get a decent used cab and replace the speakers with Vintage 30's.

But the speakers themselves would probably cost you over 200 pounds.

What about Avatar?

They make a 4x12 w/ Celestions for $400 (about 200 pounds).

Not sure about int'l shipping... I think there is an Avatar dealer that will...

This one's almost in the 200 pound range:

It's probably a cheap clone of the framus dragon but I've heard pretty nice clips made with it: kaomao's, for example.

is there any huge difference when micing up a 4x12 - 2x12 cab ??

I like V30's for pretty much any amp, but lately I've been digging the 5150/6505 with a Marshall cab with stock GT12's. Maybe you could just pickup a second hand Marshall for now, then if you decide you like the V30 sound better you can swap some or all of the speakers out.

For that price I dunno.

Go 2x12 and maybe you can score something that cheap.

I have the blue voodoo with v30s, good luck finding it for that cheap.
