Marshall 1965B Cabinet

Same features as everyone else's. The one thing that would be nice would be the ability to wire it up stereo.

Also, as I stated in my 1966A 2x12 review, I think the smaller cab is a back saver, but creates issues since most heads will be to wide creating a balance issue and asthetic issue.

I'm currently running a Marshall Artist 3203 into a full stack with the 4x10 on the bottom and a matching 2x12 on top.

Compared to the 2x12, the 4x10 has more bottom end and seems more focused. It doesn't have the high end and "airy" feel of the 2x12 but that's a good thing. It sounds "tight".

When I tried it out, the guy I bought it from had some hand wired point to point custom amp deal that absolutely kicked *** with the cabinet. Again, very tight and focused. Sounded bigger than it was. So it was an easy sell.

I haven't had it long, but I'm guessing it's close to 20 years old. There's nothing wrong with mine other than some missing screws on the back and a cracked speaker jack holder plate thingy. None of those effect sound.

Similarly, I've the 2x12 for 10 years and it's held up just fine, so I can't see how the 4x10 would be any different.

Overall, I have to say that I love this cabinet. I'm planning on getting the matching slant cabinet. Then I'll keep a 4x10 full stack at rehersals and the 2x12 slant at home and just put the head in travel.

The main seller is the ease on the back. But a close 2nd is how kick *** it sounds.

I can't believe I found the bottom cab locally. I've seen a few pop up on ebay, but mostly the slants. Word is getting out and prices seem to keep going up. But they're still cheap enough that they're having one of.

just to say this 4 x 10 is great,better than the 1960a when running good amps,this and a gd 2 x 12 ,1 input 8 ohm,i have 2 now and not looking back.

no hard tops,no bottom flap,gd bass,nice all round mix,if you want more chime open the back up,best buy that covers most styles, i'm so happy i found out about these.

still rockin

if you can find them buy them,they seem hard to get and will be going up in price when people hear the tone,awesome,been in the game for 23 years,to many amps and guitars,but hey someones gotta do it.

Unsure when the cab was built, it's in great shape though, 4x10, 35 watt Celestion speakers, single 1/4'' input jack. Small, just 24x24x12 inches, cheap plastic handles, but still easy to move around.

I play high-gain guitars through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL 100 head, mostly metal/hardcore, and I was absolutely amazed by the overall tightness and clarity of sound from this cabinet. From reading several user reviews, I was a little concerned about the low-end I would get from this cab, but it truly sounds excellent. PLENTY of bass, and a nice, tight tone all-around. Works great for the relatively high-gain tone I use, but also sounds warm and crisp for cleaner tones.

I would gig this amp in a heartbeat. It's in solid shape, plus it's easy to toss around thanks to it's small size. It did take some re-arranging of the rubber feet on the bottom of my amp head to make the head set in the cups on top of the cab, but it fits nicely now. I have not yet toured with the amp, but I've cranked it up a few times, and it's held up so far.

Haven't had to deal with Marshall yet.

Been playing seven years, and I've owned a Dual Rectifier, JCM900, 5150 as well as some solid-state heads. This is the best sounding cabinet I've used thus far, and the best sounding rig I've played through. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if something were to happen to this cab. I was looking for a cheap, good-sounding cabinet, and this cab far surpassed any hopes I had.

Mine is an early 80s 1965B. Its the bottom mate to the Marshall 1965A/B mini-stack of 4x10s. It's a solid 4x10 cab, with 35 watt celestions, rated at a total of 140 watts. I believe it's made of birch. It's not plywood. Thanks to some tolex wear on the top of the cab I can definitely tell its not plywood without looking inside. Convenient. Nice and light,, easy to carry, but the plastic handles are lame. If's there's anything I would fix about this model, it would have been those. I think Marshall cheaped out there.

This cab has a nice middle of the road sound. Not too bottom heavy, not too top heavy but it still has headroom. Running my 3210 100w through my 1965 full stack is pretty sweet. I would take these guys over 1960s anyday. I'm trying to scrounge up a 2553 head to run though them. I use these things from blues to metal, but they're probably not made for metal.

No problems. I can't emphasize how solid these often overlooked Marshall 4x10s are. They are light, well built and dependable. Real workhorses.

Never called Marshall.

Great cab. I would find another if it were stolen. However, I probably wouldn't go absolutely ballistic, unless they stole my 1965A too.

If I have some spare cash I might put together another 4x10 stack. And that's starting to become harder as these get older and rarer.
