Should be awesome for her bass, her base I'm not so sure?

Itsa goo setup fer base, betr then most uv uss lernd on.

My apologies if there's some medical reason for this, it just looks funny. That's a great setup. Most of us learned on far less.

No, it's an awful setup you have made a disastrous decision. But because I'm a nice guy, send it to me and I'll look after it for you. Might even be able to trade you up to my 45 watt Behringer in return, but only if you ask nicely.

Enjoy it. I'm jealous.

That's a great setup. I've got a PF350 with two PF115's and it's a fantastic rig.

I love my PF210! Sounds like it should be great.

That'd be an awesome rig, although I might go for a 115 over a 210.

great to learn on and small gig on. I learned on a 25 watt Supro thunderbolt which turns out to be a great guitar amp.

that is a great set-up! She will love it I am sure.

badboyb · #11 11-16-2011, 02:21 PM

cant go wrong.

Thanks guys I was also wondering about that. Someone mentioned the single 15 I was thinking about getting it 2, can I use both at the same time fir bigger gigs. She play a smaller gig about 100 and the 210 was plenty

JimmyM · #13 11-29-2011, 07:49 PM

You can use both, but since she already has a PF210, I'd recommend sticking with it if you let her get a second cab because matching cabs always work well together and non-matching cabs are unpredictable.

dllcalli · #14 11-29-2011, 08:15 PM

Thanks for the info, I was just thinking that the 15 would give better low end. Again good to know

dllcalli · #15 11-29-2011, 08:35 PM

Do u guys think I should get the 15's r stick with the 10. I'm getting to cabs either way what would u do? 2 15 r 4 10

**B-string** · #16 11-29-2011, 08:36 PM

The only time a 115 will give "better low end" than a good modern 210 is if you don't have a good modern 210 to play through. If you want to get a 115, buy two. She can use the 2 115's for larger gigs and the 210 by itself for smaller ones (or just get another 210 and be done with only two cabs instead of three).

The 210's will have better overall projection into the crowd.

2 2 10" will get more than enough low end .

Slackerprince · #19 11-29-2011, 09:03 PM

Most people ask about a rig BEFORE they buy it.

I have that cab and I am more than happy with no regrets.
I use it with a 7 Pro head, but similar tech.
Have fun jamming.

The PF115 actually does have a little more low end than the PF210, but the PF210 has all the low end you need. They're veri similar sounding cabs otherwise. I like both cabs, but whichever one you started with, it's almost always best if you stick with it.
