Marshall 1960TV 412 Cabinet

Side handles (I recommend wheels, weighs a ton)
100 watts total
4 Celestion Greenback speakers (25 watts each)
1 input (mono only) old style
Silver basket weave grill cloth
Old style, small Marshall logo (Plexi style)
3 inches taller than a normal Marshall 4x12
Would give it a 10 if it was stereo, but then it wouldn't be a reissue! But still, could come in handy.

I don't know how to explain it...
Perfect!..no, nothing's perfect...
Almost perfect!
This cab breathes! It pushes and throws the sound at you, perfectly balanced. Thick mids, full bottom, beautiful highs.
The extra large dimensions of the cab and the greenback speakers go together so well.
The basket weave grill cloth actually filters out a touch of the high end (annoying buzz), overdrives and distortions sound smooth and lush.
I've plugged many amps into this cab and was astounded at how much better they sounded. It brings tube amps to life, it has a 3-D sound that surrounds you.
The sound I enjoy playing with is kind of like a Van Halen meets Led Zeppelinish tone. Although, alot of the songs we play in the band call for clean sounds, which sound huge and full.
I've had this cab for 2 years and have used it with a 71 Marshall Superlead, Rivera TBR-1SL, Vox AC30.
I'm really hard pressed describing how much I love the sound of this cab, I'm really impressed, you have to try one.

She's big and solid. The cab itself has no vibration sounds when cranked. Everything around me is vibrating though.
Using it for 2 years...problems she-a-nadda.

It has a 5 year warranty when purchased new...I don't know never dealt with Marshall personally.

I hear these are discontinued, or are going to be discontinued, I'm not sure.
Get one, get one, get one!
I honestly can't see how anyone wouldn't agree this is the best 4x12 cab around, period, if your into a rock sound.
I buy, sell and trade amps from time to time, but this cab is staying!
Sadly, I can't use it for smaller gigs (I have a combo for them), but when my band plays larger gigs (a few times a month) my band members cheer (seriously) as they see me loading it in.
IT'S MARSHALL NIGHT!!!

All mentioned before! Best looks too! No stereo function, but I don't need it with my current setup.

This is great sounding! I run a Marshall 30th Anniversary Head through it, it sounds great! Nice bass especially, I used to have a top of the range hughes and kettner cab with greenbacks (which would cost twice what this did new) and this one sounds much nicer (probably because of the large size) and looks a billion times better.

I've never had problems with Marshalls.

I've not had to talk to them about this cab, but whenever I need to they are excellent! Best customer service in the UK by far, others like Ashdown simply ignore you unless you're about to buy from them.

I bought this cab new, I wanted to buy one secondhand from the shop online, so I did, but then I noticed they had it for sale on ebay too! I phoned them and they said they didn't want to cancel the auction but would give me a good deal on a new one, I got #140 off the RRP (making it #30 cheaper then I've ever seen it before). But anyway, this cab was a bargain! It looks amazing and sounds amazing, I had been wanting one for a year, and now I have one! Go and get yourself one! RIGHT NOW!

1998 Marshall 1960TV ("Tall Vintage") filled with 25W greenbacks. This is the tallest quadbox i've ever seen. I added some of my own castors to it and it looks very imposing. One 16ohm mono input. The cabinet is fairly heavy and takes some effort to get into the back of my car. The addition of castors was a must before I gigged with this thing.

I'm running a 1997 Marshall 1987XW ("plexi" reissue) into this cabinet. It's amazing how much air this cabinet really moves. It makes the room shake with the amp even at its lowest volumes (it is a loud amp though.. ). The greenback speakers are really warm and have a particularly nice low end/low midrange sound. The additional height of the cabinet lets it get even more air than a normal quad which further improves the bass response of the cabinet.

The speaker magnets are seriously powerful, rolling the cabinet past my television (at a fair distance) caused the picture to go all strange as the amp went past. I've never seen that happen with another cabinet.

This quad is definitely suited to people after a bassy warm sound in their tone. The greenbacks are fantastic speakers in a normal sized cabinet, but the extra height really adds something special.

Built like a brick. I think i'd struggle to do damage to this quad. The only way i can imagine damaging it is running too much power into it (it's only 100W) and frying the speakers that way. Thats pretty hard to do with my 50W head at the moment :).

Never dealt with Marshall, doubt I ever will.

I've been playing 8 years or thereabouts. This amp is worth it just for the look. The grill cloth looks really special and gives your stack some personality. The small marshall logo and gold trim also look really cool. I'd certainly look for another one of these (pretty hard to track down in Australia) or one of the normal sized marshall cabinets with greenbacks if it was ever lost/stolen.

I've played a few quads and none come close to the low end response of this box. I play mostly fender guitars and my tone is fairly treble heavy, so the low end of this box really balances my tone in a nice way. When cranked this cabinet sounds huge.

I was told when I bought my reissue plexi that I needed greenbacks to make it sing, and it's amazing what a difference the speakers make to this amp. They really bring out a lot more warmth.

The only feature missing that would be kinda cool is a stereo option, but being a 100W cabinet i can see why this was left off.

Others have covered the essentials - it's 4" taller than the standard 1960 range of 4x12's, it has a lovely weave & a small sweet logo, an angled front and those stunning 25W Greenbacks. Dunno how to rate the features of a cab, but for looks alone it gets a 10. This thing is lovely to behold, and looks the dog's nadgers on stage.

My main geetar is a battered but beautiful 62 Strat fitted with Kinman pup's (stunningly authentic but without the noise!). This cab is part of my live rig, which is built around a TSL100 (fitted with ECC83/5751 G.E.-JAN valves - crisper, clearer 'n tighter than the cheap fizzy shit they fit as standard!). There's also a big pedal board with loads of stuff, switched in all manner of complicated ways to minimise tone loss.

Previously I'd been using 2 x 1920 2x12's. They were portable (this bastard isn't!) and kinda ok. But at a recent (fairly large) gig I played through a 1960AX 4x12 and (a) blew the back of my head off - I had forgotten just how much air these mothers shift!, and (b) was blown away by just how much better it sounded - like the guitar & rig had gotten pumped up on steroids. So I went down to my local geetar emporium only to find the fuckers had made a msitake when I called them on the phone and they hadn't in fact got a 1960AX in stock after-all. But they did have a 1960TV. I played. I fell in love. I bought.

Others have described this thing well - smooth is a great word, rounded works for me, too. But the thing I still can't get over is how much more 'tone' there is - I simply get more of my 'tone' than I ever did before. It's not just that the sound is 'bigger' (although it is), it's that it's richer, more 3D, there seems to be more 'space' inside the sound.

You could drop one of these instead of a bomb and it would do at least as much damage. To what it lands on, that is. The cab'd probably still be in perfect working order.

Marshall don't have a great name for service support. I've not had to call them abut this cab, but I've called them about other stuff before and they were just useless (the service operator couldn't even get impedence calculations right - not what you expect of a fucking amp & speaker manafucturer!!!)

I've had this baby for just over a month. I am in heaven. I'd been using a Pod Pro for most studio stuff, but I'm now seriously thinking I'd rather use my live rig at all times. No matter how much hard work moving this cab is (let alone the rest of the gear ...)!

I play all sorts - lots of soul/RnB (classy big 8 piece band), quite a lot of blues/bluesy rock (loud 3 piece), not as much jazzy stuff or funk as I'd like to, and occasionally Indie guitar pop. My set up works fantastically in all these situations - and the cab sounds majestically listenable no matter what sound I'm trying to get to. EVeryone who plays with me regularly has spontaneously commented on how fabulous this thing sounds.

Do yourself a favour. Go play one.

this 1960TV amp runs at only 16ohms so beware, dont use it on an amp that cant do that. it stands taller than any of the other marshall cabs and has finger locking joint so this thing wont fall apart. it houses 4 25watt marshall/celestion greenbacks. this cab is the fuckin same as ZAKK WYLDE and METALLICA and many blues players so you can tell this is a pretty diverse cab.

what can i say about this. it made my balls rattly through a tsl100. this thing has the perfect ranges for all frequencies. you can play thrash, heavy, jazz blues anything.and it helps for that metallica and zakk tone, it really does. the extra head room gives it a fair bit more clarity and that remains playing full out or at low volumes. i would go for nothing else now. firs off its a marshall, so play it through a marshall and you will get a tone thatll make anyne cry, if you live with your parents and play some zakk ozzy through this theyll like it cos of this cabs amazin warmth.

its a marshall, built in uk, cant be picked up on your own and well thought out. wont break.

never had to deal with em'!

this thing through a marshall kicks you in the nuts. youll cry and sing and love it. get this cab, it rivals anything, great price and amazing sound, iv sold my other cabs to buy more!

This is a new Marshall 1960TV 4x12 cabinet with 25-watt Celestion Greenbacks in it. It stands extra tall like the vintage original Marshall 4x12 cabinets, which gives it better bass response and projection than all other standard-size 4x12 cabinets (Mesa standard, Marshall 1960 A/B, etc.) Can only be run at 16 ohms; has one standard 1/4" jack. Beautiful basketweave grillecloth with gold piping, and gold Marshall logo, extra small. Truly an esteemed player's cabinet.

First, I won't give any product a 10 rating. With that being said, this is the best cabinet that I've ever heard, period. The greenbacks have an incredible smooth response to them, not too much bass, not too much treble, and plenty of midrange. They're not harsh in the least, and break up beautifully. They sound perfect for slightly distorted jazz guitar with my Les Pauls, and I think they sound great for hard rock and metal, too. Hell, these are the cabinets that Metallica uses with their Mesas! I like the response of the greenbacks more than the vintage 30's, and a hell of a lot more than the harsh sound of GT-75's.

I'm running this cabinet with 2 Gibson Les Paul Customs, one being a 1978 Silverburst with an H1+ Tom Anderson pickup in the neck, and an H3+ Tom Anderson pickup in the bridge, and the other being a 1969 Black Beauty with original pickups in it. I also play a 1999 Ibanez Universe UV777BK as well. The amps are a Marshall 1959SLP 100-watt reissue (awesome amp, but going to replace the output transformer for a better sound), a Peavey 5150 II, and a Sovtek Mig100H. All of the amps sound their best through this cabinet, especially the Sovtek. My god, it made it sound just like it is supposed to: and old modified Marshall head.

A definite improvement over the other 4x12 cabinet that I have, a Marshall 1960B with GT-75's.

This cab was handbuilt in the UK at the Marshall factory, with finger-locking joints, etc. It weighs a ton, and doesn't seem like it would EVER fall apart.

I've never dealt with Marshall/Korg, but I've heard that their customer support sucks hard. I won't rate them, however, because I've never personally dealt with them.

I got this cabinet and a Marshall 1959SLP 100-watt reissue plexi head for 1100 dollars total NEW!!!! The guy who originally had it had bought it for 2000 dollars, and his wife made him sell it a week later to buy a new car. I lucked out with the deal of a lifetime. Hell, the head itself sells in Musicians Friend for 1100 dollars!!!

This cabinet is a dream. It sounds incredible, and, luckly, looks amazing too. Get this cabinet if you are looking to get as close to a vintage sound has you can. Also, if you're into playing any modern rock and are having problems with other cabinets sound harsh when you crank them, give this one a try. It can definetly take your sound to the next level.

Basically a larger (hint "Tall Vintage" TV) version of the 1960AX. This amp comes with 4 25 watt Celestion Greenbacks. The stock wiring has been replaced with a larger guage for better sound. Big and hard to carry around, but its worth it for the sound. What can I say, it's a big 4x12 cab.

SOUNDS AWESOME. Being noticeable larger than most 4x12 cabs but still having the slanted top makes the bass sound awesome with the projection (and cool looks) of a bottom or straight cab. The Celestion Greenbacks are great for the mainly classic rock/ hard blues type stuff I play

Its a Marshall which means it built to last, havne't had any probs, probably won't unless I drop it off a roof or something.

Never dealt with them.

Running my 1987x through this and a 58' reissue Les Paul sounds pretty damn awesome. I got it for a great price so I am ecstatic. Not too many of these cabs come up for sale because everybody that plays them loves them and they don't make them anymore. I don't ever gig it out, so I don't have to move it, but if I did that would be a real pain in butt because it is so large, probably the only fault with it, but it needs to be for the sound. If it were stolen I would hunt down the person and beat them like osama's gonna get beaten.
