cetera Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Sadly, I've decided to move on this great cab as it's really not getting used outside my music room and it deserves to be played LOUD & PROUD! This cab should need little introduction.... but I will anyway! What we have here is a classic [b]Mesa/Boogie Diesel 1x15 Cab[/b] with bass port & casters. It is [b]400W[/b] at [b]8ohms[/b] and is loaded with the fantastic & highly desirable [b]15" EV speaker[/b]. The tone of this really is quite something.... it has all the thunderous low end you would expect of a 1x15 but being the legendary 'EV' it gives a focussed, tight projection more commonly expected of 10's or 12's! This would make a perfect compliment to another 8ohm cab (2x10, 1x15 etc) but is also superb in its own right as a stand alone cab. I've also heard it in use with a double bass and the sound was a revelation. It's pretty well used and has some scuffs but they are only surface. The edges are reinforced/rubber covered and the cab itself is in perfect working order. I'll try & get a better picture up shortly.... but here's one for starters..... Edited May 5, 2008 by cetera
Shaggy Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Having recently bought a Mesa cab off Mr Cetera, I can confirm that he's a top bloke to deal with, and these cabs really are the absolute business.

[/quote] Thanks Shaggy! I appreciate it. Yep, there's just something about these older EV loaded cabs....
LeftySteve Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I have used my 1x15 EV Diesel exclusively (on its own) for the last 9 months or so. It is by far the most "complete" sound I have ever heard when using a single cab. Not particularly heavy too, unlike its 2x10 brother! Steve

Steve[/quote] Thank you Steve..... yep, this is a serious bit of equipment isn't it?! These EV loaded cabs really are in a completely different league to the later celestion/generic speaker loaded Mesa cabs.... Mike Brooks popped around for a jam the other day & he also commented on the range of tones this cab can reproduce...! Edited May 2, 2008 by cetera
