Wow I would love to check that out. 3 cabs with a 30" each. I think some organs used to have 30"ers but I could be wrong...
Suprisingly it's not that heavy. I can pick it up and carry it. Sound wise it really doesn't like a heavy bass sound. it's a pretty shallow cab Maybe around 12" or so. It has a good midrange tone. I've read up alot and found out that the stock Marsland speakers leave alot to be desired so It will be getting a new set of speakers in the near future. Don't get me wrong it's a pretty cool cab I like it alot.
This seems like a very appropriate place to ask this... I've seen a picture for an 8 x 12" cab out there, but it was German site, and even though my dad is German, I still can't read it. So I was wondering if anyone knew about or had links to some 8 x 12" cabs (does Ampeg make one?)?
And if there are any other monstrosities like that out there (like.. I don't know... 8 x 15" or 4 'x 15" or 2 x... 30"), that would be really awesome. I've fallen in love with the tone of big speakers, and I'm interested in investing in one big whopper of a stage amp.

I think that Invalid Link Removed might be able to help based on the pictures in their gallery section. Looks spendy though.
You'd actually be suprised how well they are priced. Hand built one at a time in Chicago.

I have Sunn 215B cab that came with my Coliseum-300. Don't know how much it weighs, but it's more than I can lift alone.
Only image I have right now.

Then had a Mesa RoadReady 2X15" (WAY too heavy)
Now I have an SWR Goliath Sr. 6X10" (just right)

Nice selection you have had there!
Randall R215BH ... 152 lbs. of Oh, ho, ho yeah.
Ohhh yeah, I haven't laid my ears on one of those yet, how does it sound?
The baddest of cabs IMHO...beast weighs over 200lbs...does this get me in the club?
Wow, yes that is what I have been hearing! How about some more pics plz. They take a bit of power don't they? Cool name btw...
Edit: Here's the big 30:
And here's a guy's setup, look at his lamp there:
Thats your touring rig right??
Thanks...I will upload some more pics just as soon as I get a chance.
VERY power hungry cabs these are! I have had mine for about 6 months and have never been able to make it distort at all. You just cannot get a better sounding cab either. Literally everywhere I play I have people asking me about how I can get so much punch and volume.
Basson is very artist friendly as well. They really seem to care about the people that play their stuff!
