I use a Marshall 1936 2x12 cab with a Celestion Vintage 30 and Greenback with my Bassman 50. I think it sounds great. I picked mine up used for Â£120 with the speakers which, to be honest, was an absolute bargain.

Yeah there was a good Marshall on Gumtree locally that was a great price, missed out on it tho. I'm not in a great hurry so I'll wait for the right deal.

I've got a Jet City extension cab, I bought it super cheap and its remarkably good for what I paid. They're nice and light too, maybe worth a look?

If you want to pay a bit more Zilla cabs are awesome and they offer loads of options. Top notch customer service too.

If you contact the guy at Zilla he may have some old stock that he's selling for cheap(er). Although I think his cabs generally come without speakers.

I spoke to a guy today and I'm getting a 2x12 HH cab from him. I'm pretty stokes as I have an HH amp and love the sound of the speakers, it'll be a good match methinks!!

I suggest a fender 'pyramid' cab since they look kool.

All you really need is 2x10 and a 15.

Sadly I don't have a big man cave so I have to stick to a smallish rig. The dude had the original cab too but it was a behemoth.

Beat but beautiful Bassman. It'll do for now.

no shit. when i come to UK, i'm tracking you down and buying some of your powder, as it seems to be the most popular.

Hahaha. Here's the cab that I got. Fits the Classic 20 when it's upright and fits the Bassman on its side. It'll end up residing under the Bassman when I rearrange the room a wee bit.
