I'm seriously considering order a Dually from Gigmaster Soundworks. He's got a 10% off deal for pre-paid orders placed before March 1st that is awfully tempting. With the options I want, I'm looking at about $1200. My current gear savings fund is significantly smaller than that, since I emptied it out when I bought the Orange Terror in October.

There are lots of cabs I want to try, and most of them are cheaper than a Dually... but I'm not sure any of them would actually be better. I also was thinking I would get a new bass next, but I really do need a bigger cab than my 210 in the near future. The Avatar 210 thumps, but it just doesn't push as much air outside the practice room.

We'll see how the tax return looks.

The best thing about these cabs is that they can seriously save money in the long-run, assuming you buy the right cab initially.

Agreed, the overall production on that album is amazing. If you want to sound doomier then go for UNL, if you want it more stoner I'd go for RF - MTM. I personally think that murder the mountains type production would work out best for your guys overall sound.

Ashdown VS 412 cab.

Anyone here use a 212sub fearful?

Some see $1200 bucks and think, cool, a dually. I see $1200 as cool, I can buy 8 - 2x15" cabs as long as I stick with brands like Peavey, Yamaha, Crate, Fender, etc.

YMMV

I wish I could save up 1200... I'd do a bunch of stuff to my car first with that kind of cash.

I can't overstate enough the value of having absolutely zero GAS for a bass cab. I don't even think about it. All the local bassists drool over my rig. The only downside is that mistakes are always heard

If I hadn't gone with a Dually, I would have gone with a Berg 2x15. Used would have only been a few hundred dollars cheaper anyways.

Buying and selling gear all the time is fun, but there's also a great sense of peace when you know you have exactly what you want, and will never want again!

The cheapest way to be GAS-less is to stop caring. It did wonders for me. I'd love to play a Dually but I just can't justify the costs. So, I found a cheap big cab and made it work for me.

I might not sound the best but no one ever complains.

Words of wisdom.

This.

I've thought about buying a different amp, and every time I do I end up just looking for something that does exactly what my Sunn is already doing...but costs about 3 times what I paid for it.

Cabs, I have not looked at a cab to replace my bergs since I got them. I thought about grabbing something significantly smaller for jamming with friends (lightweight 2x12 or 1x15) I still may do that at some point. But as far as I'm concerned my gigging cabs are set...forever.

*diclaimer* I did buy that empty 73' Hiwatt 4x12, but that was because it was just too damn cool to pass up, plus having a cool classic 4x12 around never really hurt anyone.

+1. The Greenboy cabs are NOT the only gas-killing cabs out there. a lot of times we give that impression, but it's not the case. At all.

If I had a Mesa 610, I probably would not have the fEARful I have. Bergs are mighty high on that list as well.

I must admit though that I am curous about the Big E cabs...

S/D bassists Part 42: DONT PANIC! Its the internet and mostly harmless

[Corey Y]

I regularly cycle between wanting to have high end/custom made gear that meets all my needs perfectly and specifically...and having cheap "good enough" gear that I can make work and is easily replaced if damaged or stolen. Often I just have both. It's more vanity/self indulgence than anything, either way. I just like coming up with and executing concepts. The same way I often ponder over whether I could create an entire band backline from one brand and make it work and that sort of thing.

I was cab GAS free until Ron said his Berg 6x10 was louder and had more bass than the 4x12/4x15 set up. I've been talking to the guy at Gigmaster Soundworks about a Dually. He's not far from here so the next one he builds I think I'll be able to try out. Kind of a "need to hear it to believe it" thing. My Emperors are crazy loud, bassy and pretty damn crusher. If I can get all that in a smaller package then I'll go for it.

Ron were your Emperors the deep 18" ones?
