Double Bass Best LDS Cab for DB?

[Nate74]

Heard a 15/6 (maybe it was a 12/6) LDS last weekend. The guy was using a Stingray 5 with a Genz 9.0 amp. Sounded super clean. I didn't get a chance to talk to him as it was a fairly hectic festival but it got me looking at the LDS website. The 12/6 configuration has me interested, but there also appears to be a 2x8 design, maybe similar to the well regarded Crazy88.

Just wondering if anybody here is using an LDS for their DB rig? If so which one?

I have 2 1x12s in little cube form, a top with a high end coax b&c speaker and the bottom with a bass heavy eminence, I find it can piss off most anyone

Nate,
In 2006, I commissioned Don to build me a Double Bass cabinet with
2 B&C 8" Neodymium Drivers, a midrange, and a tweeter. In a word, it's a great DB cabinet. The advantage of buying from Don is that you can choose the components, and configure the placement of, external jacks, and and L Pads. He builds beautiful, great sounding cabinets,

Ric - that's great to hear. I'm definetly leaning towards an 2x8 of some sort. So far, Don seems to be very helpful via emails, etc.

Are his designs "fEARful" in nature. I'm having a devil of a time figuring out what fEARful and/or fEARless are exactly... :0

UPDATE: after a pretty lengthy conversation with Don at LDS, he's building me a 2x8, 6", tweeter (3-way cab). I'll report back when it finally arrives...
