I'm jonesin' for a single 4x12 replica early Marshall top slant cab. I'd like to put the closest thing to the early greenbacks in it that I can. I'd also like the project to be semi affordable, whatever that means of course. Scum is advertising paper voice coil versions, but 4 of them are pricey! Has anybody used these? Are they close to the real thing? Jim's version of the cabinet is pretty pricey as well. I don't really want to buy vintage but the Scumback option seems to be right up there approaching stratospheric territory cost wise. Any good lower cost options out there to get that sound?
I'm interested in hearing about first hand replica vs the real thing comparisons too. I recently played through a vintage Marshall cab with original 20W Greenbacks...the thing killed, smooth buttery breakup and feedback on demand. Damn I want one but I don't have an original JTM45 either, so a good replica seems to make sense. I'll be happy with a cabinet that is as close to the real thing as my Metro is to a 45, close but no cigar. I'll be good with that.
I'll be using my fairly stock Metro JTM45 kit build, looking for Taylor era Bluesbreaker sound.
Thanks all, cheers!
