410 Cab, Do I Need One?

[Cadorman]

As some of you know, I have 4 412 cabs. One has G12T-75s, one has Greenbacks, one has half Greenbacks half Vintage 30s and the last almost has a complete set of Vintage 30s. Does a 410 offer something unique? I've never actually used a 10 inch speaker to my knowledge. Just curious on anyone's thoughts on this. I think I want to get one, but if they don't do something better than a 412 I guess there isn't much point. Debate away!

They're cool and offer up a totally different sound. A lot brighter overall due to their surface area, so more trebly. Jim Marshall himself claimed that is the proper cab to use with his original JTM45 and was a big fan of them.

As far as needing one? Totally a matter of choice. But there will be a big sound difference compared to your 4x12s

Need = different in my ramblings. It sounds like I probably need to acquire one.

Go for 8 x 10. You know you want to. You'll just not want to carry it around much.

You might as well send me cab dimensions. I could never afford one of those, so I would have to build one. I'm actually looking at routers right now.

@SG John is that Sovtek a 215?

You need a 8 X 10 cab.

Imagine the wall of sound you could have with 2 810s!

More likely to be a 2X12.... That’s where my money’s at...

It's a 2x12. I sold it to finance the DST 2x12 for my DST U84.

You could always go for the Trower rig.

13" x 29" x 46" I can get you more accurate dimensions tomorrow night.

Lol, are you seriously asking this forum whether or not you buy new gear?

Sorry, had to be done, but to answer your question, I have a 2x10 Fender cab for my Vibrolux. The ten inch speakers definitely add something different than the standard twelve inch speakers.

I like it with a natural overdriven tone, amp distortion. Allows you to push it without flubbiness, also great to have on hand for tracking. The more tonal varieties you have on hand the better for recording.

Eventually it all finds a use.

My bandmate has a Sourmash 4x10 that visually l;ooks just like my 2x12 slant...... looks like this.

26" wide, 28" high, 12" deep. can get more detailed dimensions if you need them.

I won't say what I had but what I have is a Bag End 4 x 10" a Fender Concert combo 4 x 10" and a Fender Super Reverb 4 x 10"

Think Stevie

10 each 12", 2 each 15," 16 each 10"

That's a beautiful sight.

Some of the finest interior decorating I've ever seen.

Essential with a Fender Bassman, otherwise not so much.

immediacy & focused projection has been my experience, The Fenders benefit for sure,

had the Marshall 4x10 for a bit and in the end the 4x12's just worked better in my application.

Def worth having around tho.

I have had a 1965A. It was a light weight cab. I sold It to a friend. Sometimes I use It. Low eficient speakers on It. Celestion G10L 35s. 140W 8 ohms from '80. But if you have a chance to get a 8X10 you Will not regret It. Those Marshall 8x10 are great.

Hmmmm. You guys have me thinking..... and that’s a dangerous thing. My youngest stores his bass amp and cab at our house..... just happens to be a 4X10 cab. Wonder what my 20w Traynor would sound like plugged into that??
