http://www.iflscience.com/physics/amazing-2d-rubens’-tube-visualizes-sound-plane-fireThe stage is dark, the crowd filled with anticipation...
As the downbeat for the tasty bass hook nears, you step on a small foot-switch which simultaneously opens small butane valves and activates repurposed electric stove burner lighters (click click click)...
Your bass notes fly out of the vortexitude widows literally forming burning tornadoes of hot licks...
And the crowd gasps with delight! And scream even louder as you stride through the flames in your stylish asbestos slacks (thank whomever for a good taylor)...!
OK, it could happen but it might need volume activated valves instead of a footswitch to enable the striding part.

It is fvckin amazing. It would be a gas to simulate this (I know people who know people who could). Thanks for the posting.
Received my 46 back from Mike. It was upgraded with the thingamajig .
I'm clogged up with a head cold at the moment. I really can't comment on the difference in the cabs performance till my head clears up .
I wanted to publicly thank Mike for upgrading my cab !
What I can say about the 46.
I sure did miss the cab. When I plugged my Skjold into the DeM Tardis / 46 rig I could hear and feel the liveliness of the cab.
Thanks again Mike!

FedEx tracking says I should expect the truck tomorrow...
Fingers crossed for a break in the rain or that you have a big covered porch...
Exciting!

with the new forum software, we shouldn't have to split the threads anymore so please don't create any further ones
Does this mean that threads can get into the tens or hundreds of thousands of posts? Or more?
=wr=
correct! Xenforo is architected smarter than vbulletin to better handle bigger threads. There are threads with over 20K posts on a number of xenforo based forums. Maybe in time we'll make a decision to split from making it easier to search threads perspective. But for now we don't plan to create new threads. Over time, we will probably merge thread installments
I would think this would be less of an issue with the Big E cabs - http://www.talkbass.com/threads/getting-along-with-your-drummers-kick-drum.640416/
"Can you compare the volume to a familiar cab?"
The cabs I've owned were the Audiokinesis Hathor 1544, the TC112af v1, and presently I own the 1203s. It's a great little cab with the heart of a lion btw. All top notch cabs!
The Audiokinesis cabs are louder at lower volumes. They can't compete with the 46 at gig volumes.
The Mas46 definitely needs more power to open it up. Pretty much too much cab for house practicing/teaching.
The low end clarity, note definition, articulation, evenness through the frequencies , and liveliness of the 46 is second to none. I'm not a " tech guy ". I do my due diligence with new purchases. I can reiterate what I've been saying all along. When you hear and play through Mike's cab you'll immediately know there is something special going on. My Skjold has never sounded better, or I should say I've been able to hear the notes, timbre , personality of the Catacomb in a way I've never experienced before.

Yes, I heard/hear the special elements Mark mentions right away with my early adopter 48, but I ordered a 46 for smaller rooms so the vortex would be maximized, and because Duke spoke so enthusiastically about the one he was helping Mike with. I am hoping Mike sends me a thingamajingy for the 48 too

3:45 and no FedEx truck.
Sadly, I have to go out as soon as it gets here, so I won't be able to fire it up until Sunday or Monday.
That's IF it gets here today and isn't delayed because of the rain.
Sorry guys, we'll all have to wait for the report...

NNNOOOOOOOOooooooo....
I'd have gray hair by the time I got through one of those threads... Wait, I do have gray hair already!
To those of you who thought my humorous hyperbole the jest of a sleep addled brain, I say HAH! It could happen, see?
I am betting that Leland and friends will have retrofit Vortexitude™ Window Flaminators® ready to go out the door in a matter of weeks as they have with the Thing-A-Ma-Bobs.
Then we will all bow to the inevitable assertion that MVW technology makes possible... The Best Cabs for Metal!
=wr=
Amen!
Words fail me when I try to articulate the MVW (110 Flex) experience. I could not live relying on IEM's, part of my joy is feeling the good vibrations. Mine will punch just as hard as I can. And stop on the edge of a dime, when I decide to. IMO, the Flex re-defines just how beautiful the mid-range can sound. Indescribably delicious. It's a totally drug free, mind expanding (and body-pounding) experience to play one!

Yes they delivered it. We had to leave for Sacramento by 5.
I plugged in the top to verify that it worked. It works and sounded great. But no time to work with settings.
