The Mustang V 412 Cabinet pumps serious stereo power and performance from its four 12" Celestion Rocket 50 speakers. It's all housed in a rugged, durable enclosure with sturdy center baffle bracing and a striking visual design with sleek and modern Fender styling.
I recently went down to a Guitar Center about an hour and a half away and picked up the Fender Mustang V half stack. I went there knowing I wanted a half stack with a 4x12 cab at a reasonable price, but I needed more of a selection of amps that the guitar store I live by just wasn't giving me. I tried out quite a bit of half stacks from Dean to egnator's but at soon as I hooked up my 1967 Gibson SG standard to it, I knew I had to have this bad boy. It is actually a great replacement to my old 12" Marshall because it wasn't giving my gibson the full potential it truly deserves!!
This has been a great cab for me, paired up with the v-head, wonderful
This review is on the V412 cab only. This V412 cab has 4-12 Celestion Rocket 50 speakers. The Mustang IV Combo has 2-12 Celestion G12P-80 speakers. I had been trying out the Mustang IV Combo yesterday at my local GC and feeling pretty good about it. I noticed they had the "V" head in stock with its V412 cab. I also noticed the price on the V412 cab alone and immediately got worried. I thought; How can a cab with 4 12 Celestion speakers cost that little? I may have come up with my own answer? The staff at Guitar center always rocks and they hooked up the V for me and after I played the first few notes I had to look at the cabling to see if it seemed proper. It did. There is a MAJOR difference in tone between the V412's Rocket 50 speakers and the G12P-80's in the Combo IV. The V 412's Rocket 50's were kinda shrill with no body. I was feeling no bass, thump or low end response and barely any mid-range. The overdrives I was hearing had more of a buzz-saw thing going on. The cleans I got were also lifeless with very little response on the bottom end. I only went with the presets, which are the same on both amps. I did not attempt to tweak the V into getting what I was getting from the IV. The difference was so jarring to me to begin with that I did not bother. If you want the V and its V412, please go into it with this knowledge so you can do your own tweaking. Also, Maybe see if the staff will let you hook it up to another speaker cab. Maybe something with a better-known set of Celestions or Eminence. My budget wouldn?t let me consider this so again, I did not bother. If I owned a 4x12 with good speakers I would have bought the V head (knowing it?s the same hardware as the Mustang IV) but budget and tone quality told me to get the Mustang IV Combo. I will review the IV in a few days after putting a few more hours on it. Happy Hunting to you.
