Yeah, we are loud, but I wouldn't call it extreme. Our sound man is ok with my stage volume. I can see trading the 410 for a 412, but I've had 810s & 610s in the past and they worked, but they didn't have the oomph that I'm getting with this cab. I'm gonna keep working with this cab and adjusting my settings.

Trust me, bro, I will let you know if I destroy that 15"! LOL!

There's a PH1000 at my rehearsal space right now that's been thru several of it's 15s... I kinda doubt it's going to get another one, but I don't really care since it isn't mine...
Just a guess, but I'm thinking that none of those 610s and 810s you've had in the past were Mesa cabs - please correct me if I'm wrong, though...

Faital also make a 15 that would likely work well....

BTW, I finally gave in to curiosity and have an M3 on the way, in part based on your excellent review, Chef. |

If the Walkabout had "the same 300 watts," I'd have no complaints with it.

- georgestrings | Nope. Ampeg 610 & 810s and I had an Epifani 610. I blew up the Ampeg 610 and sold the 810. I also sold the Epi 610...

...before that, I had these: 
...all 3 of those cabs smoke the PH1200 - so does the PH412...

I'm finally committing to a head case, especially since the cabinet sold almost immediately in the classifieds. The head is currently resting on my B-15 dolly on the B-12XTC. With the BATT acting as the preamp this thing is sweet but pushing the Buster solo into a light power tube breakup is just heavenly.

Also got more details on the new tube amps coming withing a month or so.
Prodigy - 4 @ KT88s and 3 @ 12AX7s. about 250+ watts of power. Very even sounding. Think B15 with the evenness up the whole neck of the bass but plenty of power.
Strategy – 8 @ KT88s and 3 @ 12AX7s. about 500 watts of power. 9 band graphic EQ.
