Having said that, my good Buddy MadBassPlaya just bought himself an LDS 215 off the TB classifieds that is amazing...2 15" Eminence 3015's in it, and weighs roughly 70 lbs, kickback casters and a handle...as close to perfect as youre gonna get for a lightweight 2x15. | It's killer!

I had a customer who wanted to order two Dually's (215's) and I talked him into a Dually and a Bassic15. He uses the Bassic on 90% of his gigs now, for what that's worth |

On tour I take my biggest cab (FEARLESS215) because the gigs are so varied. Might be a medium sized club, or an outdoor festival. |

I have a GK 212 and I love it. My back also has problems. Undiagnosed, but I'm certain I have a herniated or ruptured or otherwise F@&(# disk somewhere because of repeated injury over the last decade. The 212 is like nothing with help. And I can carry it myself in many situations. I think 15s would have been a better choice. They can still get as loud as I probably need, but I can still carry them by myself. 12s... I wouldn't bother unless they were super high quality--like fF quality.

FWIW - my 51 lbs. Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout is now #1 in my arsenal. IMHO - get the 8 ohm model & a 2nd 8 ohm cabinet to use for bigger venues. I preferred the 12" over the 15" because it just seemed a little faster, perhaps tighter for my style.

biggest pain is in and out of my truck- 90 lb dead lift blows. My 8-10 is actually easier to move than the 4-10, but showing up to 90% of my gigs with it is just plain silly...
I'm all screwy now- looking into FF again. Lord help me

If I can find a setup that's modular and easier to move and sounds as good, can go as low and as loud I've got the cash right now to make it happen- because I currently have three cabs though I want to be positive before I need to move the wifes car out to make more room

I will agree that most other Mesa gear that I've used has been on the heavy side. |
