Mesa cabinet 4x12 4fb is it a standard, traditional or something else?

[Eduardo Apolonia]

I have a Mesa cabinet that I bought in 2001 with reference 4x12 4fb.
Does anybody know if this is a traditional or a standard version or something else?
Because it looks like a traditional but has the dimensions of a standard.

thanks

My standard says 4fb on the back. What do you mean it looks like a traitional?

the standard is like a slant with an overhang

the traditional is either a normal slant or straight

those are the only two recent production 4x12's i've seen from mesa

Heya,
No the diference is in the size of the cab. Standard recto cabs are bigger than a normal 4x12. The Traditional is smaller. Both can be Straight or Slant.
I suppose if u dont have a reference, measure it and then compare with the dimensions on Boogies site.
Cheers

because the sides are slant exactly as the front.

Hi!!!

That's what I did, but mine looks more like the traditional one photo on the Mesa site.
But the dimensions are like the standard one.
Maybe I need glasses

Maybe you have a different slant then the picture.

Here is a pic of my cab so you can understand better what I am talking about.

that looks like a traditional cab to me

but now that i think of it, they did make a recto (oversized) cab that was built like that, but i've only seen those with the diamond plating on them

I have one w/o the diamond plate.

you have to measure the thing man. and if you post the measurements be sure to mention if you had the casters on or not. better yet, measure the cab NOT INCLUDING the casters and MENTION that.

how tall is it?

It´s +/- 92cm with casters and +/- 84cm without.

At the time I had the option to have the cabinet with diamond (I think the name was armoured if I remember) plate, but it would take longer so I bought it without.

is yours as tall as the OS, but without the overhang on the top? they very well may have made one like that, but i've never seen one

edit: btw are you in a band from the VA area? i'm just a few hours down the highway from you (greenville SC)
