Matamp cabs, any good?

Love the look of this

Are they any good? What's the story with the open back (more common with gui*ar amps)? Is this a decent price?

Cheers all

I don't expect that to be a good bass cab, doesn't actually look like something they would let out of the factory these days, they are big on the tuning and porting of cabs properly if they can't do them sealed, could have a modified back on it.

Looks more like a 1x12 cab that some one has converted to a 1x15 bass cab.

Who knows but I'd argue you could get a new one for not too much more than something like that (Guessing because they don't make 1x15's currently) and the 2x12 new is only £350

One day when I have more space, a Matamp 2x12 and GT200 will be put on order.

I tend to find the bands that use them are usually on the dirty blues/metal/hardcore type of thing. But, thats just as those scenes dig Matamp....im sure like most amps/cabs they can be used for whatever you like.

If you want a Matamp 1x15, phone them up and ask.

It's bit of an abortion. It won't work as a bass cab because of the open back.

Cheers guys, the open back did intrigue me, thought I might be missing something but guess not, could just be someone's modded the cab and didn't do a great job. They're not a manufacturer whose gear I've used hence my enquiry
