These re-issues were intended for the Japanese market only and few are seen outside of Japan. Anyway, there have recently been a couple of the Teisco May Queen reissues offered for sale on eBay (see here and here). After all these years, it is very difficult to say with any authority which came first. Wood choice affects sound right? what goes into that? I like the AC30 sound from what I hear(U2, Hillsong, etc), which to my knowledge is a Celestion Blue speaker, but when I need to I do like those Journey, AC/DC, Lincoln Brewster Marshall tones which I believe is Vintage 30s.The Teisco May Queen was a late 1960s design possibly borrowed from the Vox Mando Guitar of the same period, or maybe even the Eko Auriga (which had a much cooler reverse headstock design). I'm a church player and play a variety of stuff from a variety of artists using a variety of amps. I guess the point of a modeler for me was so that I could have access to a lot of different tones and hopefully train my ears that way. Another shop also lets me play through some boutique-ish(i think) stuff when I try out guitars and its not like i can say 'hmm, AC30 clone' or anything like that. I play through a Mesa combo when i try out guitars at local shops, but I dont think I could pick it out from any other amp. I played through an AC30 and a Marshall stack once and back then I didnt know how important tone was. When it comes to tone, I would like mostly clean, semi-dirty, definitely not metal or high gain, maybe lil less than cranked marshall on occasion, type of tone. The thing is, like i stated above, I don't have that much experience with amps. Looking at those HYOOGE bass cabs and how many guys use ampeg heads and cabs, I would've thought that Ampeg was the standard in cabs(never seen any other 8x10/12s cabs except for ampegs). I always thought Ampeg was supposed to be awesome at making amp cabs. (unless you are talking about prices under $20)Д¬lick to expand.oh wow, that actually blew my mind. If you don't know, then there is a good chance that it might not be that much of a bargain. Don't get caught up in something because you think it might be a cheap price for something. When it comes to deals, you really need to know a rough idea of what something is worth before you go look at it. You might be better off asking in the modelers forum what other people use for theirs, as I don't have experience in what to look for with a modeler. More country/jazz/blues you might lean more towards an open back cab with American voiced speakers. For instance, if you want to play more rock or aggressive type of music, you should lean more towards closed back, british voiced cab's. If you are looking for good tone for any setup, figure on what type of tone you are looking for. I also got a SoundCity cab for $50 from the same guy, that wasn't a deal.

I picked up a 1978 Marshall 4x12 for $50 on Craigslist a while back. It's not a matter of cost, but a matter of tonality. Around here is difficult to even give those cab's away. Ampeg isn't known for making stellar guitar cabs. If you are looking for something that made your financial worth go up, then it probably isn't. If you are looking for a cheap addition to your arsenal, then the Teisco is probably a good thing. how do i know what to look for?ДЄ good deal depends on what you are looking for. What do i need to look for in a good speaker cab? especially in the case of modelers, all i know is that the choice of wood, open vs closed, choice of speakers all play a part in coloring the sound which may or may not negate the modeling altogether. now should i assume despite all the reputation that precedes this cab that it should suck based on the fact that its only $250? thats sort of the approach i thought i would take with the Teisco cab, that yeah it may be cheap, but that just might be God smiling on me and giving me a great deal. I thought I just scored a great deal, i mean i was gonna almost gonna get an Ampeg cab with Celestion V30s wired in stereo for $250, which I'm guessing makes up a great amp on the basis of reputation alone as far as i know(V30s are great, Ampeg is reputable, most don't come or would be charged extra to be wired in stereo) but the deal sort of went sour. the thing is i really need a primer on this stuff because i wouldn't even know where to start and so i wouldn't know if its something i should or shouldnt dump money into.
