Very nice! I love Mesa Gear. I currently have a Buster 1x15 combo but I once owned the Buster head and the 400+. Each time I got rid of my Mesa stuff I've always regretted it. Hold on to it!

Outstanding color combo! I much prefer the silver grills and those look great. I know you will love that setup. I use the PH412 and its the best cab I have ever owned.

Seconded. Mesa has given me fits of joy of everything they've done pretty much since inception, but this M9+PH412 (even tho mine's modular) combo is probably the best-sounding thing I've played. The best part about it, is how it sounds with the band. I loved the 750, V12 and 400+, but they were all lacking the clarity I wanted and this does it in spades, and while the M-P600 was "more clear", it didn't have the attack the Carbines do. I've yet to play a show where even non-bassers have come up and said dang dude, your rig sounded incredible, what is that??

And yeah, these cabs are t!+s, huh. So good I bought two!

As far as on-the-fly gig-stacking goes, both of my cabs have the 3" Mesa casters, and I either A.) put them both on their side or B.) keep one cab vertical on it's casters and put the top cab horizontal and I use a GRAMMA Pad that I took all the foam padding off to where it's just a piece of board and put that between the two so the top cab doesn't slide around.
Works great.
I could just remove the top cab's casters every time but that's an extra 5+ mins that I can use setting up my pedalboard instead!

Awesome rig man! I dig the blue, it is always cool to see different colors other than the typical black and norm. I use a Mesa Powerhouse 610 cabinet and love it! The two cabs are a smart way to go because it allows for the option to use just one for smaller gigs and then use both for bigger gigs. Nice amp as well.
