    MIssing church bass?

    Not at mine. My highs are heard but there's no thunder in the mix unfortunately.

    What Old Dog said about tradeoffs is the thing. If you are dependent on some stage volume, I cringe a little at asking only eight drivers to keep up (two C4 cabs). I'd go for the dual C8 stack and get that sound up closer to your ears. I don't have experience with the C8, but I use a SIX-PAK...

    Henry the 8x8 vs beat up 810e

    Henry's blow speakers because the bassist using it is expecting too much from it. The same can be said of any cabinet. I've also found that the amp and bass used can sound great or not great through a Henry - just like any other cab. I did power a Henry with an 800rb and it was a great...

    Official Mesa/Boogie 400,400+ Club

    When? After I get a job (currently unemployed), pay off debt, and build my savings back up. So the real answer might be never. :crying: And I have enough gear right now that doesn't get used often enough as it is. In addition to tube scarcity, so are competent people who can work on them in my...

    Official Mesa/Boogie 400,400+ Club

    Update - due to cost, the 400 was sold. I do miss that amp - recently a 400+ came up for sale but it just didn't make sense to acquire it. I hope you other aficionados are enjoying yours - maybe another will come some day!

    Downsizing/Watts/Ohms advice

    How much more percieved volume do you need? Have you considered using a high-pass filter, like a Broughton? I wonder if that would allow you to push more volume while controlling the lows and allow you to hear it better in that context.

    Favorite Bacon

    I'm trying to get back to my low-carb diet of eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. etc. When I was consistent with this, my doctor had no issues with my blood levels - my cholesterol dropped, so did my weight, BP, etc. YMMV, but it worked for me.

    Bassists who ride Motorcycles

    Those are beautiful rims Inara - they really compliment the bike! A performance boost is also a big win!

    Trace Elliot 7210H or Ampeg B5R with 410 cab

    So what did you go with? I just got a B5r and it's a great sounding head - and I've owned TE's in the past and love them also.

    Ibanez SRSC806 -- any love?

    Bump because I just picked one up. Years ago I owned a SR 806, it had a trans-black glossy finish and gold hardware. Beautiful bass. It will be interesting to hear how this sounds to my others; if it's close, it will be a keeper. Sorry - no pics yet, well, at least none worth posting here...

    Thank you for the detailed response. One of the replacement driver options for a Henry was a Dayton brand speaker, I wonder if those would work in your Traynor cab? And be cheaper than a brand new cabinet?

    Forgive me if I'm backing up just a bit, but I'm curious as to the main problem you are trying to solve. Is it to achieve gig volume using your YBA100 via small drivers, AND take pedals well? If that's it, you'll need a lot of them - the used market is your friend, if you can find them...

    This is what happens when you reply on your phone without glasses on lol. Anyway, thanks for all the help. Updates will be provided going forward. The good thing is I have a spare that is like new; I looked at it today when playing through it and thought about when they first came out and how...
