Anyone else addicted to cabinets?

[N4860]

I would love to have more cabs but I don't have the space, unfortunately. Currently have 3 cabs. Mesa PH610, Mesa Subway 115, Mesa Subway 215. Three amps too, Mesa M6 Carbine, TT800, WD800. I think I like the WD800 most but I can't 100% decide.

 

[ThunderV]

I'm down to five myself.

I currently have 9 cabinets, I’m in one band… we gig once or twice a month. Do I have a problem? The list so far is;
Bag end s15

music man 210rh

music man 115rh

(2) GK 410 mbe ii

Markbass New York 151

seismic 212 loaded with tecamp speakers (poor man’s Tecamp s212)

hartke 410tp

peavey 215d

ampeg svt48he 4x8

to me, cabinets make more of an impact than amp. At least that’s my justification. Anyone else collect big, heavy, eye-sores, or is it just me?

What?? No 810? No you're not addicted yet!

Yeah, but those are some substantial cabs.

Well, he does have two matching 4x10s to stack,

that's how I get my 8x10.

I love it! I do use it for bass, only for rehearsal tho. It still has the original alnico speakers and I’m always nervous to push them hard, although I usually drive them with my TC Electronic BQ 250 and it takes it no problem. I actually had it listed for sale locally and I had a buyer lined up, he was coming from a couple hours away, so the night before I decided to plug in and test it because at that point I hadn’t used it in awhile. Glad I did, because I fell in love all over again. I had to tell the guy I couldn’t sell it and he was less than pleased with me. Oh well, poopie happens. I’m not parting with this cab lol

You should be okay up to 120 watts.

 

[MingusBass]

Wow, I did'nt know you were such an Ampeg fanboi. hahah

That's an impressive Aggy collection! You got to get a DB751, though!

I own one, and a couple DB112 in White Hot but they’re in the other room.

@Marko 1 is searching hard for a nice single 8" speaker cab, I know it!

I wish that I had the house space to collect cabs. I wouldn't have 10 but I'd have more than the 2 that I do.

GAS expands to fill its environment.

This is eminently quotable!

Somehow I’ve ended up with two different Ampeg 210s, two Ampeg 115s, and two Ampeg 410s. I’m not entirely sure how this happened.

(and they will find some reason to complain about your choice no matter what)

Only if they are a TalkBass professional.....

The best csb without an amp
makes a great plant stand or end table. And while a good amp can help a so-so cabinet, a crummy amp sounds crummier on a great cabinet.

I've been building my own design cabinets since I retired seven years ago . I built some really good ones but it kind of got out of hand .I've built at least 24 or more , some PA floor monitors and a couple 112+horn mains, a couple guitar cabs and about eight bass cabs . I am down to two 115 cabs and that is where I will stay . My cab with a Faital Pro 15PR400 stays at home with me and my three way cab stays at our practice space . We haven't gigged since last summer but if we do I'll just take the Faital loaded cab and my PF 800 . Gets as loud as I want to be and the cab weighs 34 pounds .

I love my cabs as well. I love using in-ears but do miss my rig behind me.

That’s a great collection. To update it a bit you need to add at least three Mesa Subway cabs.

I used to have an absolute wall full of them, floor to ceiling in quite a few iterations. I’ve since settled down 2 amps and 2 cabs! Can use either amp with both cabs, mix and match, or have a Biamp rig to run my Rickenbacker through.
Darkglass MT900 V2 2 ohm
GK Legacy 500 2 ohm
Schroeder 1210PL 4 ohm 1000 watt
Schroeder 1515+L 4 ohm 750 watt

The MAS 18/28 (B28) are my jam. Cover small, medium, and large to huge venues. And the 3-D quality of the sound is hard to beat.
I'm curious - how does the RevSound compare?
