Vintage Series 4x12 Angled Cabinet
The Marshall 1960AV, Vintage Series 4x12 Angled Cabinet. Nothing personifies the Image of rock 'n' roll more than a wall of Marshall stacks: Though often imitated, nothing compares to the original. The worlds first ever 4x12 cab was designed and built by JIm Marshall In 1962, and with it a legend was born. Since then Marshall have made many thousands, which have appeared on stages all over the globe. Following close on the heels of the Immediate success of the Marshall 4x12, came the first ever stack - namely, an angle-fronted cab on top of a straight-fronted cab, with an amplifier head placed on top.
This came about after discussions with Pete Townshend of The Who, Pete asked Jim to build him an 8x12 cab with angled front - the Guvnor agreed but warned the guitarist that the said cab would be extremely difficult to move. Nevertheless, Pete insisted, so six of these awesome cabinets were built. After being bombarded with complaints from his road crew, Pete returned to Jim to look for a more practical approach to building this wonderful sounding behemoth. 'We'll cut the cab In half,' was Jims Immediate reply and thus the legendary Marshall stack came Into being What happened to the six 8x12 cabs we hear you ask? Well, two went to Pete Townshend, two went to John Entwhistle (The Who's bassist) and the remaining pair went to the Small Faces.
