Cab(s) for a Mesa Boogie 400?

[HeavyAxe]

Hey! Just wondering if anyone as any recommendations cab wise for the Mesa Boogie 400 that's on the way to me. I've been looking at a Traynor 4x12, would love to hear anyone elses input. Traynor just is appealing because of cost, ease of purchase and I don't know any other major amp companies that still make a 4x12 cab for bass.
Thanks

Hello again HeavyAxe,

99% of my gear comes from the local used market - and I shop around for deals on stuff. With one exception (a Dingwall bass I acquired years ago) I never seem to acquire what I think I need. That said, my most recent find was a Mesa M6 Carbine 212 combo. It just kills! 12's are the new 15's to me, a great balance between them and 10's. IMO the Traynor 412 might be a good fit for you. GK also makes one; find a local deal and I'm sure you'll be happy.

Not much to go on here....

What kind of sound are you looking for? What is your budget? Do you have any size/weight restrictions? Transportation concerns? What is available to you locally?

Id probably pair it with ampeg classic cabs. An 810e if you have the means to move it, for something more portable 2 410he cabs. Mesa cabs are great but I'm not big on mixing of tens and twelves. The Mesa tens and twelves sound drastically different. The 12s are more about mids and body and sound really round and the tens are more of a modern deep lows and sparkling highs with less mids type of thing.but yeah if i went with Mesa cabs id want a 212 and a 410

Mesa makes a 412 for bass!
My Bass 400 sounded superb in anything I've plugged it into: Mesa 215, 410/810, 212/412. GK 410. Ampeg 2x115's. Peavey 215.
