Have you tried the on the side stage monitor position? Maybe that’s just for the 1x8...

I'm pretty sure there's a photo of the MAS 28 on Mike's site in the wedge position. Not sure why it wouldn't work well that way. Don't know about how that would work with the Bodai, though.

I have played 2 gigs with the MAS28 and love the form factor/ergonomics. Again at low volume this Tuesday but really plan to see what it can handle later this month at an outdoor gig. Thanks Mike!

Tuki cover with large front pocket for my B28. Arrived today, fits perfectly. Well padded, well made. Those guys were a pleasure to work with.

On Mike A's site it states to contact big e for sales and service.
The 877-517-2626 number is a non working number.
I sent him a message directly as well for some information but no response.
How have you guys gotten in touch with big e to answer some questions?

I played my little package of dynamite MAS28 in two outdoor locations yesterday. I brought PA gear and thought I would push the 28 first, then go direct out into PA if 28 was straining to cover the large outdoor park with over a hundred folks at many picnic tables. They were dispersed up to hundreds of feet away from where our moderate volume blues band set up. Never plugged in to PA. Nice compliments afterwards. A little grind coming out of the 28 if I dug in but no distortion/fart out. Really dig this 799.00 one hand carry gem. 2nd spot was a block party with closely spaced homes on both sides. Easy to cover w/o PA support.

May I ask what amp you were using?

Played an outdoor gig last weekend, with no PA support and a loud guitarist. B28 totally carried the day.
BUT... I'm moving to the dark(er) side and getting a MAS1-8 to go with it for those outdoor gigs, because I kept feeling afraid that I would push the cab too hard. It didn't happen, but...
because HEADROOM!

Had another outdoor gig, and the B28 carried really well. It was a big "Classic VW" event. I'd still like to add the 1-8 but that'll take a bit more time to get here.
The band playing after us was hanging out during our set. After we finished the bass player came up and said "your bass sounded phat, man - full and loud and clear!"
I showed him that it was a 2-8 cab, and he was blown away. He said "yeah, when you packed up your head I realized that all that sound was coming from that tiny box! Man!"
He then set up and played through a GK stack with one 15 and 4 10's.
I don't have any stage pics, but here's a pic from the gig:

SMS Classic Tube Preamp, Alembic DS-5R (power supply for bass) and Crest Prolite 3.0. Not shown: Grace Felix as DI. The cabinet has been dubbed Thor by my drummer. And it lives up to its name.

The Flex 210 is definitely the incarnation of THOR!

What Jonathan said. Flex 210 is a freaking savage beast. Nothing kicks quite like that box does.
