Re: cmhwak gear thread
My set-up is in need of overall improvement, (even if only getting LOUDER) but I really like it.
Fender Highway One Telecaster
Sovtek Mig-60 head
Marshall 4x12 cab with Celestion
Line 6 DL-4 Delay
Boss RV-3 Reverb/Delay
Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
Danelectro Fab Tone Distortion
The Mig-60 is an absolutely killer head, though. Great investment. I used to play a Peavey 5150, but that didn't quite get the job done for the tone/volume I was looking for.

i'm in the process of rebuilding my V4 (thanks suffix!), i'm replacing the 7027A's with Kt88's. should be fully ballin'. I also think i'm going to be putting in a bootleg partridge transformer assuming it doesn't run me something ridiculous. i'm replacing the smaller 4x12 with a custom built 6x12 in a month or two and i have never been more excited in my life. if anyone has a Sovtek Mig-100 or a Red Bear MkE120 they ant to part with get at me!

Re: cmhwak gear thread
Anyone know a lot about vintage amps/cabinets? I really need some help figuring this out, it's been a mystery for the past month and we've exhausted available options trying to determine what these are.

Alright, so a friend of mine was recently given two 2x15 cabs. According to him, some older fellow gave him both cabs and only said that they were "speakers from the 70s." There is no distinguishable information whatsoever outside of the following logo and the model number "95161" (which returns nothing when Googled alongside any sort of musical terms).
The logo might be something commonly known, in which case, I feel like an idiot, but with no words to go off of and having never seen it before, I'm stumped.

Also, he is unsure of whether they are bass or guitar cabs. He said he tried both through them, and though one would assume them to be made for bass, he said that guitar sounded quite a bit better. Another tidbit of information was that apparently they are not supposed to be pushed past 70 watts. They are both made to run at 8 OHMs.
If anyone could help me out with identifying these and possibly even valuing them, it'd be a huge help. My band's other guitarist and I are considering purchasing them if it turns out to be worth it.
Thanks!
