Sounds amazing, the cab holds up beautifully, doesn't fart out or anything. Shakes the room no matter what. While i haven't tried the 2x12, so i can't comment on how that handles the B, but i do want to find out. Although i do feel like im gonna blow something if i turn my bass knob up on my bass tho.
I took my rig to its first gig on saturday..while i did have PA support. I still had some amazing power coming out of my cab, i turned off my compressor and once i did that, the guitarist in front of me turns around and has this big smile on his face, after the show he was like i could feel that thing moving my pants around(he wears pretty tight pants too lol).

Uh oh!!! I am seriously concerned about what a cat could do to the carpet covering on that cab!!! Please make it stop!!! I can't watch!!!
Need not worry, she doesn't have her claws anymore. lol She was just playing with the tag that hangs off the handle.
Thanks! I should take some better pictures with a better camera. But I just wanted to take some pictures right away, and my iphone was the only thing I had at hand.
Avatar Rocks!
Avatar Rocks!
My two Avatar cabs came today! They sound absolutely awesome with the mo´.
So, which one are you liking more? How does each handle the low B?
I have not tried them at any high volumes yet. I have a gig next friday where I get to break them in good!
The 410 has a much stronger and tighter sound. When I use them both, I only feel I hear the 410, but when I use the 410 alone, I loose a lot of the low end character that the 212 brings to the sound.
Again, I have not used them at high volumes yet, but the volume is pretty even across my whole bass. In some amp setups, I have to adjust my technique to play a bit harder on the B string. But with this setup I can focus more on the music than the sound/volumes. But again... No high volumes tested yet, but my experience with other rigs is that what sound good at low volumes sounds even better when you crank them up loud.

Finally, another blonde tolex-er!!!
I'm not looking for a number or anything, but i am the very proud owner of a brown tolex neo 2x10 cab. I run my Fenders and BSX through my EA iAMP 500 and Sansamp to this 4ohm beast. I just wanted to say i had the oppurtunity to gig a couple times with a Schroeder 1210 cab in hopes of getting it for a steal but honestly, the Avatar had so much more lowend cushion, "push", clarity and depth to it. I mean i like lots of low mids, don't get me wrong, but the Schroeder just wasn't doing it for me in terms of tone for indoor and outdoor gigs. Props to those gents at Avatar for having such a standup product. And classy colors, plus i can carry everything in one trip!
Speaking of classy color combos....i really dig those white tolex cabs with the amber burl MTD, brah. Think you may be onto something....
Thanks for the compliments! Took some more pictures today! They did not turn out great either, but at least it's something.

So, I'm fairly new to TB and have been reading all of this hype about Avatar, and I have been looking for a 410 cab. However, I never buy anything that I can't try before I buy. But I figured what the hell I will look at the Avatar website anyway. Much to my suprise, Avatar is only a 15 min drive from my house. Doh 
So I emailed them about stopping by to check out/buy a cab directly so I don't have to pay shipping. Now I'm saving up some extra cash. Sorry, just shocked that they are just down the road from me and I had no idea.
