    Picking cabinets for a Mesa WD 800

    Some more follow up: I went with a Mesa 1x12 and 1x15. Couldn't be happier. I dont have experience with those other cabs. These sound great stacked, recording with DI was impressive. Too bad about the prices over there.

    Stacking it is. Thanks really looking forward to a live situation where I really feel you can then judge an amp and the bass so much better.

    Picking cabinets for a Mesa WD 800

    Well I now have a 1x12 and a 1x15 subway cabs with the WD 800 head. I'm wondering if there any strong opinions about stacking these or separating them out in different parts of the room? When I use my Keeley compressor pro it really made my old Eden Rig sound a lot better but I almost feel like...

    Well the amp wd 800 and 1 x 15 subway have arrived. Sounds good mmmmmhhh Serial number for the cab is 2112 Must be a sign. So I ordered a 1 x12 which should be here Friday. Or should I be buying a Geddy Lee Bass? Probably don't need the other cab, but the comments about this 1 x 15 + 1x...

    It does sound really good. Mesa B will have a big shoes to fill It’s really a beautiful amp. Bought it over 20 years ago I believe. Only slight problem with the on off switch easily repaired with lots of satisfaction. But It is Time for a change to look for a new sound. Recently adding a...

    No it's been a practice Room amp in 2 different houses. Stairs in both houses to move it back-and-forth. But potential gigs coming up have prompted this as well as a very long relationship with this amp

    A lot of great thoughts and alt rigs and ideas. Looks like I'll start with the 115 and consider adding a 12 or a 10 or another 15 from there. Without a stack to start may need to elevate this. Lots of support and experience with this amp on this site makes me very comfortable about the...

    It is a 610 combo and heavy, but pretty rare I haven’t seen too many of them.

I heard they now have changed...

    That is how I am leaning right now. Give me lots of flexibility inside the practice Room and out. Wow everybody, thanks what group knowledge and cooperation.

    Practice room is a large carpeted living room type size Guitarist plays Mesa Boogie M2 or M3 which was re tuned in Petaluma and barely is at 1 through a 2 x12 orange cab and 2 x 12 Mesa so there is some volume ;) But as a 3 piece we're really trying to go more for balanced high fidelity for...

    Nice alternative How do they compare to the Subway cabinets in tone and weight or colouration?

    Do you feel the need for a 2 x 12 cabinet at all or the one twelves doing enough for a small club? This Light weight gear is so much better at my age than the 8 10" Acoustic speakers I move used to move around or my 18" folded horn Orange cabinet Back in the day.

    I was thinking of the 12 and 15" combination, too. Hoping for the best of both worlds. The 2 Ohm option allows many possibilities.
