Built pretty solid... Has casters which is nice because this thing is heavy!
B-52 Custom speakers-- Not bad, but there no Vintage 30s
I think this Cab is nice enough that if you did want to upgrade the speakers to Jensens or Celestions that it would be a good base.

My setup is a MIM Strat w/ HotRails or Epi les Paul Standard>Bad Monkey>Crybaby Wah>Mesa Dual Rectifier Head
I had a cheap Crate 4x12 due to lack of funds (Mesas are expensive!) and the difference between that and the B-52 is night and day. First off, the AT412 has 240W of handling power. Which is more than enough for a beast like the Dual Recto. It sounds ******* with distortion, I'm sure the Mesa Cab would sound better, but this is half the price.
It does fart out and get a little "woofy" if I have the bass up too high on the clean channel. But Mesas are known to be "bassy" amps. It would be nice if it could handle the Recto's extra bass though. But, on the high gain settings I can get as much bass as I need without that problem.

The quality seems to be there for the price... Probably even built better than some Marshall Cabs.
I've heard good things about B-52, so I have no reason to expect it to break down on me.

I think its a great value. Its made out of birch, but they could have cut corners and made it out of ******** and sawdust.
If it were stolen, I would check out something like an Orange Cab or even the Mesa Recto 4x12 cab. But its 50/50 there... Considering thats a lot of money for the latter, I just might purchase the B-52 again.
