Poll: What do YOU think is the most commonly used cab configuration?

I'm not asking what you OWN, just simply what do you feel is the most used cab config.

EDIT: you may pick more than one. (I.E. 410 with 115 under)

It's absolutely a single 4x10 these days if you're referring to the local non-touring band rig.

I agree, 4x10 either as a single cabinet or a pair of 2x10s.

The answer depends on the venue and the genre. I've see everything from 110's to 810's. Probably 410's for rock, 115's for country, 210's for blues are most common around here.

I guess I'm considered odd here, but my cab is a G-K 4-12" NEO.

If we're talking bar-bands, I'd say 210 cabs.

Small local gigs = 4x10

I see a lot of 410 cabs and 610 cabs lately for rock. And jazz or blues I see a lot of 210s and 115.

Not to be mean but we dont care, the best way to find out what the most used is, is to tell you what we got cause...most people know that 410s is the most widely used.

I will have to agree the 4x10 is pretty much a standard of most bass rigs. Single 4x10 for local/small gigs and then perhaps paired with another 4x10 to make a 8x10 essentially for larger gigs and touring or some other combination.

Its funny because I threw my vote for the 4x10, but I don't own one! I have a 2x10, a 6x10 and two 1x15s.
