There has been a lot of discussion lately -- questions, experiences good and bad -- re. the still relatively new and rare Bodai 28 and Bodai 38 Special. I am curious about them, too. I've offered up my experiences with hearing the prototype MAS 18s and playing some of the other cabs (those I own and those I've gotten to try with Mike or with
@thumbs&fingers) but, having never seen or heard a Bodai 28 or 38, all I can do where those cabs are concerned is extrapolate from conversations, my experiences with other MAS cabs, and stuff like the published Vd figures -- make educated guesses, in other words. (Fairly educated, I hope, but guesses nonetheless.)
I considered starting a thread to ask specifically about the 8" cabs, but, like a good scout, I used the TB search function and found this one, extant but not very active -- not yet, anyway:
MAS Bodai 28 - Bodai 38 Special and 18 Discussion
I humbly propose that those interested in the 8"-based cabs -- or who have some experiences with them to share -- post in the above-linked thread. It will, I hope, help focus the conversation. Since Mike is able to post in that thread but is, as far as I know, still unable to post in this one due to a past CUP issue, it will be also be a better place to go to get authoritative answers to questions regarding them.
The thread discusses the Bodai 28 and 38 and the MAS 18. Since some have mentioned combining the 18 with other cabs and Mike has mentioned combining it with the Bodai 28 -- and given that it uses the same woofer and waveguide (AFAIK) as the 28/38 and is still a pretty rare bird in its own right (at least on the electric bass side), it seems natural to combine it with the other two 8ers.
Those who've ordered MAS 18s or Bodai 28s (or 38s), maybe you can post your experiences there as well when you get them and have a had a chance to spend some time with them.
Thanks respectfully,
Mark
