You know me and my love for Sadowsky's. So there aren't a lot of basses with clearer tone.

Recently switched from Aguilar to Mesa Boogie. I went with the Carbine 600 and Powerhouse Vintage 212 cabs. I played with the amp a bit at NAAM but I forgot how fast this thing is. There's no lag at all. Either with slap or fingers it just responds. Still nice and warm with great mids and smooth highs. I'm really happy with it so far.

I got to try it out at practice this evening and everyone was saying how much they dug the sound. I barely got the amp past 9 o'clock on the master volume (12:00 on gain) and was plenty loud with my SR5. One thing I love about this amp is the ground-shaking power (even without using the deep bass setting). I definitely heard what all the hype was about

| | | | question: i just got an M6. I have 2 ampeg 4x10 Cabs (8 ohms each) --- Do I wana daisy chain the 2 cabs together from 1 spkr output? Or run one spk Cable from each output to each cab? |

Use two outputs, daisy chain together.
I don't believe it matters.

Then again, if you're doing that, you just need to be slapped anyway.   |

I liked the Powerhouse1200 cab I tried but side by side comparisons with the PH412 convinced me the 412 was the way to go. The 1200 sounded kind of muddy and boomy compared to the outragiously tight 412

I do find that it can get a bit boomy, but not nearly as much as the GK 412's I had. So far I'm pretty happy with it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
