I love this cab, the greenbacks are spectacular, but the cab gets no use around here.
there's a guy looking to trade, what would you do and why?

I would totally do it - the Mesa oversized 4x12 is the cabinet by which I judge all others, and I think it's the most popular cabinet on this forum. The huge, tight low end and smooth top end (maybe not compared to greenbacks, but compared to a Marshall with v30s at least) is just perfect for heavy guitar tones.
hmm, noted,.
I should also say that I have a JCM800 slant with V30's already that get's 99% of the tracking

I'd trade the marshall v30 cab for a mesa v30 cab so you have more different options than just 2 different v30 cabs.
(that being said by a big greenback fan thiough)

Yeah, I had an oversized Mesa 4x12 w/ V30's a long time ago and sold it. Just got another one about a week ago for $475!!! And it's in excellent condition. I can't believe I sold my first one...these cabinets are THE SHIT.

I would sell it and try for the Mesa anyway.
I finally recorded a Mesa 4x12 not so long ago using my own 5150 head and ended up with the best Guitar tone I have ever had to date.
I have spent hours micing my Marshall 4x12's, even with V30's added to them, and it just doesnt compare.
I keep seeing Mesa Cabs on Craigslist for $500-$600 and am waiting to grab one.

The link has expired by now but I'm wondering, are you happy with your oversized mesa cab?
I just got a dual rectifier but I have no guitar cab yet so I'm looking at different options, the mesa oversized cab with v30 seems to be appreciated.
I just played my dual rectifier through my ampeg svt810 and allthough it's not metal at all I can get some awesome clean with a strat and some old school alternative crunch, pretty cool.
Anyway, let me know.
thanks

The general populous around here will say that the Mesa and Orange cabs are the shit.
Thanks, how different would these two be?
Does a mesa cab scoop the mids out?
I know it's suposed to have good bass and high but not a lot of people talk about the mids and I think mids are really important.
