    210 Cab: what to load it with?

    A friend of mine acquired an Ampeg 210 cabinet—looks like a Portabass IIRC—rated 400 watts from a pawn shop, but discovered it was loaded with car stereo speakers.

    GK Neo 410 High Range Attenuator on Full Mode question

    I just picked up a GK Neo 410 4ohm cab two evenings ago used from Sweetwater (through eBay). Today I picked up a GK 400RB II head from a private individual. Today was the first chance to try the cab, Full Range the only option for this set up. Using a Steinberger Synapse, I heard a rather nasty...
