Changing Guitar into Bass Cabs ??

[Dusty]

Hoping for some advice to a crazy idea I've just had !!
I'm currently sitting on two immaculate Marshall 1x12 speaker cabs that my son no longer requires. I, myself normally gig with a Markbass 102 combo sitting on top of a MB 104 cab which is great for most of the gigs I do....... but, recently we have been taking on smaller venues with limited 'gear space' ! Im thinking about getting either 2, 1x12 cabs or a 2x10 to sit under my spare MB LM3 head. Then it dawned on me that the Marshall Cabs with some decent speakers, something like Eminence Deltalite Neo 12's might just solve my problem. The Marshall cabs with the Greenbacks in, would only probably be worth about £75 each. The cost of having cabs mate would far exceed that and to buy a 2x10 or 2 x 1x12 would be quite an outlay.
The Marshall cabs are front ported with 2 holes 5cm dia.
Is this a viable option or should I just splash out on proper cabs ??
What do you think ? Any help appreciated

Genuinely, you'd be better off buying a pair of bass cabinets rather than trying to make a guitar cabinet work for bass. So, yes, you can sling a bass speaker in a guitar cabinet and you'll hear sound. It might even work well, but probably not to it's optimum. It's a lottery if it's guess work.

There was a story on BassChat where a speaker's warranty was voided because it went in to a wrong size box and burned out under stress.

Thanks Dood.

Worth checking the values of those cabs.... my guitarist would pay good money for a 1933.
