I had the idea to do this as a story, and we start with our protagonist- a simple speaker. Imagine a 15” woofer perhaps. We give this speaker some signal, and it makes sound. Great! But something is not quite right. There’s no bass. Acoustically, a speaker has no front or back. The waves coming...

Well, I have to say I didn't see this post before doing it - but I bought the Neox 400-210T from that listing. They slashed the price all the way to $400, plus $42 for shipping. At that price for an all-in-one setup I had to check it out. I'm still getting acquainted but it has a lot of tone...

My Guitar Center used department BA410 needed a bit of TLC. Looked like a few different casters had been installed over the years, which Swiss cheesed the bottom a bit. Went through and plugged all the extra holes, touch up painted inside and out, then added nice new casters to match with proper...

Well I have had quite the interesting evening. One of the things I've been meaning to do while I have a few cabs on hand is to take frequency response measurements, just to help me better understand what I'm hearing. I hadn't planned on sharing any of these measurements because they're very...

I’m comparing the 210 and 410, not keeping both. But while they’re here, well, I had to try it. Oh my god. If you’ve ever driven an extremely powerful car slowly, it feels like that. I can’t think about using even a moderate fraction of what this is capable of.

Just kinda curiosity here, but I am guessing that the cabinet FR specs published by Genzler use F10 on the low end, not F3?

So I'm a little bit obsessed with the bass arrays, but I'm debating exactly which way to go. I have the BA12 and BA210 on hand, both series 1. I prefer the 12, for its deeper extension and its more mid-forward presentation. The 210 is getting returned, for sure. One option is to get a second...

I think the most notable comparison for premium combos would be GK, who have the pretty expensive Fusion as well as the Legacy combos. Couldn’t begin to guess how well those sell, or whether the market can bear two companies in that space. (I consider the others, like PJB, to be boutique small...

Someone local to me is selling a particularly special Mesa combo amp from the past ... 6x 6L6GC providing the business in this creature but at least it has a handle and wheels eh?

Well I went back with a fresh set of ears, and also tested both cabs as guitar FRFR where my ears are much more sensitive and well trained. For me, in the series 1, it's the BA12-3 all the way. Just an amazing thing. Out of the box it's a bit polite on treble compared to other things I've used...

Sorry - I meant between the BA 112 and 210, I haven't quite figured out which is the more neutral voicing. I find it tough to hear these things when the ear adapts.

I’ve been trying some fun new (used) things out recently. For my taste it’s one of the bass arrays over the NC-212, but I haven’t quite figured out which one yet. The 210 and 112 together are very loud, but I think I don’t actually like the blend of the two cabs. I can hear the difference in...

Incidentally, is it true you designed these Subway cabs? I kinda wish I could find a 2x12 version used, I feel like it might be ideal.

I should have been explicit, I understand and accept this as a possibility. Independent of anything else, and though I like the sound, the Mesa doesn't suit me in practical respects as mentioned before.

Alright, I'm a guitar player with a casual interest in bass but a little bit particular about what I want. I currently have a Mesa Subway 2x10 and tonally it's excellent, no complaints at all. It's very punchy and powerful while still being precise and balanced overall. I feed it using a ToneX...
