    Apologies, as it's been a long time since I've posted to this group, but I know exactly what you are talking about with this rig as I'm now rocking the exact same set up. This will be my second time with this setup, and my experience is that context means everything, as the last time I had this...

    Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

    I had both of those portaflex cabs for a while, and while I think they are decent for what you pay for, I quickly moved on to something else. I don't know if it's universally accepted or not, but I've always heard that folks should tend to steer towards having two identical speaker...

    Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

    My other stack is GK. I have two CX115s that I really like, they have a horn, and sound nice and grindy with my Fusion MB800. 15s in general will probably have less high end than, say, a 2x10, but I prefer low end to high end. If that's a concern, I imagine one of GKs 2x10s could work well in...

    Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

    I don't think you can go wrong with the 1x15. I think I've read plenty of posts on TB praising the cab as one of the best 15s on the market, regardless of genre. The only catch is there's only the one speaker (no horn), so some complain of a lack of high end, but personally I've never felt...

    Orange OBC115? Not sure how common those are in your area, but it's a killer cab for my stoner-metal band.

    Super interesting! I play through the same head as you, so it's neat to see that GK already accounted for the possible issue. And I was a GK naysayer for a looooooong time until I decided to, you know, try one. It fits both of my bands perfectly!

    Awesome! Wish I hadn't sold mine. Granted, they were replaced by OBC115s, but I do miss the light weight.

    Yeah, I think there were a number of factors that went into selling/returning the amp each time, and this time I think the stars are aligned to make it work out. But yeah, this is the only amp I've ever re-bought besides an Orange Rockerverb. What can I say? I'm a bit of a fan.

    Just bought a new Terror Bass head from MF during the holiday sale! This will actually be my fourth attempt to get along with this amp. The first two times were the v1 1000w and v1 500w, but the third attempt was actually a new v2 that I eventually returned because it wasn't a good fit for...

    Congrats! Love that cab!

    2013 in Antique White! The only thing I would change about it is the finish, as it's just not my thing. This is the third and hopefully last time I own one, as various circumstances led to me selling the last two. And I just recently sold a MIM Pbass with GZR pickups a few months ago. The...

    Excellent taste in gear! I've recently acquired a Gibson EB, and have nearly the same setup as you now. Perfect for our shared taste in music!

    If you were responsible for all the modifications, then you have excellent taste, sir. This bass is exactly what I wanted and I've been on the lookout for this kind of bass for a few years now. Apologies in advance as I'm planning on changing the nut and going back to EADG instead of BEAD, but...

    Honestly, the primary reason I bought it was because it completed my birth year collection for my family and that it came close to the color I'm collecting (ebony body with a black pg). I already had basses representing my wife and my own birth years, and this new Bird is my son's birth year...

    I think the fact that it's been loaded with upgrades (Thunderbuckers, custom bridge, hipshot tuners, etc) make it distinct from your usual Bird listing. I don't think it's really rare in a collector's sense, but for someone that's looking for a specific list of upgrades, it definitely makes it...
