Well after playing all different brand Eden, EBS, Mesa Boogie (M6), etc. I've finally found that beats all in all aspects:

Blackcat + M212 (second M212 is coming this week)

I've got a pic of my Puma1000 that I'll get uploaded soon.

How is that Black Cat? I seem to recall KJung saying something to the effect of "It looks really nice, just make sure and bring your wallet AND your friend's wallet."

The blackcat is amazing best bass amp ever. (and I seen and heard a lot). I has got 3 tubes in preamp. Very musical souding not harsh at all

And thats why the price is like that; because to my eyes its the best there is. Extreme good sound with extreme good projection of the sound(surround sound), weight is really a relief. And tons of headroom and power; what could would more a bassist want

Hey Pushifier, good to see you around here too!

And of course I'll play:

Nowadays the head is an a 3 space rackbag with a Korg DTR1000. This rig smokes!

Here's another (crappy) pic from when I was recording, Black Cat and Epifani 112 NYC. Sounds great.

Well the nuances between the Blackcat and M6 carbine is think first of the Blackcat has got 3 tubes in it's preamp. There fore the sound is warmer(not cloudy) from the beginning and more musical in the high notes (not harsh). I know the mesa is know for is aggressive edge, and I really liked that about the mesa. But ... there's the but.. my bass just needs amplification, if i play it aggressive it sounds aggressive, if i play it sweet it sound sweet etc. Also de lows of the mesa are sometimes to much (dragging); it's great at first but in band situations you can hear the drag sometimes (and played the mesa completely neutral (bass/mid/treble 12 o'clock; voice knob neutral). The tecamp on the other hand is so musical and really translates your bass. Here's also the danger, if you got a bad bass or dead notes etc you hear it; garbage in is garbage out. It's got limitless power and can uphold all kinds basses (4/5/6strings fretless etc) with ease. The projection of the sound out of these cabs is something that no other brand has; it's tremendous almost like surround sound.
I've read some reviews from others about the tecamp and some review I recall that said it got all the pro's of the other brands put in one amp and also the cabs. That is what it is. Quality; tremendous projection and headroom; loads of power and a very important one the weight. Blackcat is 8,5 kg and one M212 is 20 kg; it is such a relief after all these years to drag my equipment around with a smile. And unbelievable that, with that weight, it has got the best sound I've ever heard of all brands (and I heard/played a hole lot). I can not think of a negative about these tecamp that good haha. Also the owner Thomas Eich of Tecamp really made these amps and cabs out of perspective off the bass player; all kinds of cabs(ohm) can be hooked up total of 6 connections on blackcat. Colour knob is great(there is also a Taste knob on the newer amps); they are Very usable. fx loops; seperate volume control on back for A/B channel for each cab(s) etc etc.
