Kiwi Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Why do you need Road Ready cabs specifically? Is it just to match your amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzantes Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 well it would when i get it, but the band i'm in is really getting around places and doing alot of travelling for gigs, all my things are pretty much Flightcased, same with the others in my band, and a Mesa RR is what i'v dreamed of for awhile plus knowing it will be able to take a beating in the van and yet still have a shiny silver grill ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Boogie stuff is very robust but not very portable. You probably have loads of other options out there, if you're willing to do a bit of research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, at nigh on 100lbs a cab they are shockingly heavy. The 4x10s are particularly eyewatering. The wheels make a difference for sure, but the ballbreaker is the lift in/out of vehicles and god help you if you live in the 3rd floor flat, or even playing venues that aren't setup for easy access. As CK says, there are some other options out there and the weight of a/some decent modern cabs and a fullshell flightcase won't be dissimilar to the Boogie RR's. Don't try flightcasing a Mesa Diesel cab though as thats the worst of both worlds and you'll need a chiropractor on site everynight. They do sound the mutts though. Good luck with the search!

Good luck with the search![/quote] +1 to all that The tall cabs (2x15 and 1516BE's) tip in and out of cars fairly easily - I keep an old flattened cardboard box in the back of my estate that makes a very effective slide, plus they trundle along on the flat very easily - but as you say, the killer is stairs; my heart sinks when we arrive at a venue and the guy points upwards (or downwards)! But they do sound awesome, and in the event of a Tsunami, nuclear holocaust, swine flu, or the missus going "pre" I'm going to climb inside my 2x15....I'll be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the cooking device is a grill, no matter where you're from. But a lattice-work protective covering is not just a grille -- it's also a grill as an accepted spelling variant, especially in US English. I'm known among friends and family for my pedantry and anal corrections of spelling and grammar, but I'm also very accommodating when it comes to language change, so I have no problem with protective grills. The context always supplies the intended meaning. Of course, when Mesa start including a George-Foreman-style (cooking) grill on the top of their heads... well, then we're in trouble.

As long as I can insult an American without them realising, I'm happy. "Hello, y' w***er. Had a bollocks time with you last night." That sort of thing. [size=1](I am, of course, joking.

[/quote] I had a 2x10 ampeg and decided in one of my "bright ideas day" to order a flight case for the cab. Result it weighted a ton and was too cumbersome to carry around, and the wheels are usefull when you play in places with even floors and with no steps. I sold the cab and the case shortly after.
