So the other day an awfully bulky item arrived at my workplace.
I was too excited to take a picture of the box before it was destroyed.

"dad! there's something at the door!"
thats all for now but i shall keep you all up to date, sorry for the shitty quality pics
I finally got to play through the cab today, my good mate mike (mikebot on this forum) is lending me the marshall silverjubilee clone he owns until my rig is all here becuase i dont actually have an amp right now, i sold my 5150.
thoughts on the cab:
Seriously, it is by far my favourite cab that I've tried. I like the p50's alot more than V30's but i think the cab's construction has alot to do with the tone. I can't think of anything about it I dont like. Asthetically it's solidly built but very light which is great, probably weighs 2/3 as much as my mesa. It disperses sound extremely well, much nicer than the mesa's laser beam. It is ridiculously tight but still responds naturally with the amp's poweramp sag, doesnt get farty even with stupid amounts of bass thrown at it. Doesn't sound stiff or cold, even though the speakers apparently need a long time to break in. The lows are really percussive and hit you in the sack if you stand in front of it. The high end is very smooth and seems to roll off perfectly The mids sit very nice, they are very present and full. It doesn't get honky when you throw lots of mids at it, even with the Jube. When cranked the lows still retain definition and tightness as the speakers break up which was my main gripe with V30's. The speakers dont get too bright either. Overall it's quite balanced, very tight and still lush-sounding. The cleans are very full. Really I could not be happier. This is solely going off the Jube too, apparently they are tuned to fryette/vht heads and don't sound that great with most amps.. i reckon thats bullshit because I've never heard mike's jube sound that good to my ears. The p50e's don't sounds ANYTHING like C90's imo, i hated those things.
I also tried running my pocket pod which im using to practice with at the moment (sold my X3 recently), into the jube's power section for lols and it actually sounded pretty damn good lol. Lacked a bit of the lushness that the jube has but didnt have that shitty gross digital sound to it. It was pretty full & thick enough. I should take a video of that just for shits and giggles, I think i'll use that rig at band pracs for the time being until the rest of my rig arrives.
BIG PROPS TO ZIMBLOTH @ THE AXE PALACE FOR HOOKING ME UP WITH SOME OF THIS STUFF (STILL TO COME) AND HIS GREAT ADVICE ON FRYETTE GEAR, HE KNOWS HIS SHIT!
I know some negative things have been said about the dude lately and it's not deserved. Yes sometimes he's hard to get ahold of, yes occasionally he is involved in misunderstandings like the rest of us, we're all human. Fact of the matter is he is a great guy who has really looked after me and actually gives a shit about his customers. He is passionate about good tone, good gear and gives great advice. Really goes beyond the call of duty for anyone who needs help whether you're buying or just asking.
