    I took the paint of my Squier Pbass Special and oil stained it. I found alot of plastic resin under the coats of paint which was really a chore to remove.

    Crazy idea or not? Using Four 2x10's

    I thought about 2 210's for the same reason, (small car VW bug). I'm considering the avatar one 210 in combination with a 112. The cabinets the same size or close to it, that way you'll get the low end. Otherwise it's the Eden 210XST
