For historical context, I present the first Red MAS cab(s). Custom order at the time, and one that kind of took off. Prior MAS cabs were black.
Ah, for the glory or Red!

amazing. I wish they were doing the TJ models back when I was working there, in '02-'03. I think they came a little later, but they are by far my favorite model in their line. Whats the top, bubinga?

Never knew you worked there! It's not actually a TJ - it's a Sonus with deep cutaway and set neck, plus the "Sonus Custom" (not the TJ) pups but in the "Sonus Special" position.
And yes, the top is Bubinga. A bass that I never tire of looking at or playing.

That is a real beauty and a pretty unique Zon to boot! I love Zon basses, but these days I couldn't even afford a used one. The only bass brands I wouldn't hesitate to buy without playing them first are Zon and Rob Allen. For the sake of on-topic-ness, my RA Mouse sounds great through my 46, as would a Zon (and every other bass I've played through it).
Nice. However would not Amp or Cab Porn be more appropriate?

Briefly, when I was trying to see if I could stand living in the bay area. The answer was "NO".
Interesting, So its a sonus special, with the extra cutaway and the dual coils from the 'Custom' line. Thats quite the custom piece. I bet it kills. I recently owned a Sonus fretless 5 and it was easily the most effortless fretless i've had. If i got another, it would be a sonus special or a Sonus Custom. Joe's fretless basses are the top of the heap!

Is that the Bodai 112 on the right? Surprised its not bigger than the 110. I kinda dig that form factor
That's the Bodai 112 on the left, 48 in the middle, Bodai 115 on the right.
Thumbs and I barely got to tickle the 115, but what we heard from it hints at monster power -- and, at least at low volumes, it was significantly more efficient than the other two cabs, which are not inefficient, themselves.

not a bad form factor for the 115, considering the 12's dimensions.
Would love to hear all of them! Hopefully soon

Just saw your question J.Wolf, MarkA already answered it. The form factor on the bodai 112 I think is the most sound for the smallest package that's easy to vary. The 48 is the hardest to carry do to its traditional 4x10 like rectangular configuration. The bodai 115 is easier to carry around than the 4x8 in terms of climbing stairs and negotiating narrow hallways, but it is heavy. The bodai 115 sound is really full and authoritative, not that the bodai 112 isn't .......but just VERY full while being LOUD.
The bodai 112 I take to rehearsals and non stage jams, the 115 I use for stage or outdoor gigs. The 4x8 I keep as a back up and for nostalgia, I just can't part with it. Maybe it will be a collector's item one day........
