Looking for opinions on what to do?

[klejst]

Hello everyone, I am a musician/bass guitarist and a (almost) daily reader of these forums. I have seen a lot of good advice on here so what better place for me to ask the opinions of others on a little dilemma I currently have. My bass rig currently consists of two Fender Bassman 410 cabinets which are powered by the Fender TB-1200 amp head. Yes, as you can probably tell I am a buyer and believer in Fender products and wish to stay with the brand because Fender has never failed me yet. So here is what I have been thinking about doing and please let me know what you think. I am looking at selling my two Bassman 410 cabs and buying either the Fender 610 Pro or 215 Pro cab. Some would and could call this a downgrade I suppose and it is convenient to have two separate cabs, however I am looking to basically have less equipment to haul yet still have something that outputs a lot of power/sound that I can be heard. I am in a original rock band. I have eyed the 810 Pro, however it is sort of out of the question right now. I suppose I am asking for opinions on if selling my two 410s and buying a 610 or 215 (to use with my TB-1200 head) is a wise move and also which of the two (the 610 or 215) do you classify as the better buy?

Having essentially 8 10's now, either of your 2 choices will be less volume, overall. Between a 610 and a 215, it'll come down to which sounds "better" to YOU. I'd probably go with the 215, but then I've been a big fan of Mesa's old Deisel 215 for many years. It comes down to your preference, so long as you realise you'll have less volume.
