LM II with Traynor TC112 cabs

[loopee]

Anyone using an LMII with some Traynor TC 112 cabs?
Or how about a Markbass CMD121P with a Traynor TC112 extension cab?

I play mostly Blues/Rock and like a warm, fat sound

I am using a LMIII with 2 Traynor TC112 cabs. I had no problem getting a good punchy sound with 500watts into 4 ohms.

The Celestion BN12-300X speakers are a little 'thin' when new but once 'broken in', they do have a nice warm bottom. There is a 2-2k5 peak that can be handled with the VLF and the VPF.

2 cabs + LM head all for less than 60lbs... can't beat it.

Well, I don't have the TC112 anymore....I'm getting 2 ThunderTots from Duke and when I receive them I'll probably be selling my Markbass CMD121P and the NY121 extension.....

What about any experiences with GB Shuttles and TC112s? I'm considering getting one to go with my soon-to-arrive Shuttle 6.0. I obviously need to get out and listen to the different choices out there, but I'm starting to narrow my options to a TC112 or a TC210NEO. It seems hard enough to find people who have any comments on these cabs, let alone with a GB head!

Well, to follow up my own post, I did end up getting a TC112 to go with my Shuttle head. I initially tried a GKNeo210, but my goal with this amp changeover was to go lightweight, and the GK wasn't light enough.

Anyway, upon coming to my senses I traded the GK back in for a TC112, and so far I've been very impressed. This little cab puts out an impressive bottom end (I play a 5), and sounds marvelous with the Shuttle. The volume seems to be just fine for practices - I've hardly had to go over 8am on the master. I love that I can carry my entire rig in one load, it makes for a much happier back and shoulder. Back to the tone though - to my ears, it sounds very nicely rounded. I don't find it to be as punchy as my old SWR Redhead was, or even the GK for that matter, but perhaps that is a 10s vs 12s issue. Right now I'm enjoying the roundness of it, getting a great tone for some blues and classic rock.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cab to anyone.

I'm glad this worked out for you.....I liked the TC112 while I had it (rented) but I already had the MarkBass CMD121P and wanted to pair it with it's sibling the NY121....I must admit that was one heck of a nice rig (MarkBass) but I still needed to cut down on weight (bad back) so the MB was 29/30 lbs and the new Tots are 22lb....that's a whole 16 lb difference and I really didn't compromise on any tone.....the MB LMii and the Tots are pretty darn nice.....though I'm thinking of trying out a GB Streamliner 900 and that might make me want to put on some brown pants just in case......lol
