Why would you think that a lot of screws indicates that it wouldn't stand up well?
The tall (42") 412 is the Sceptre cabinet, intended for guitar. Four 12" drivers, sealed cabinet. With bass drivers, I think it would be fine as a bass cabinet, but, being sealed, it isn't going to have the big bottom a lot of cabinets have. With the original drivers, I wouldn't push it very hard. IIRC, the drivers wre only rated for 25 watts or so (rather a lot at the time), so putting more than one or two hundred watts into the cabinet, especially at bass frequencies, risks damage to the drivers.
