DNA bass cabs?

Cool thread.
I started my bass life, like many of us, with the thoughts that bigger is better. I remember using an Acoustic 360 amp with the folded horn cabinet and added a Kustom 2x15" cab... Then later, after carrying this rig up stairs, loading in and out of more venues/cars/vans/trucks than I can remember, l figured out that I was going to loose my back or knees or both sooner rather than later.
I was in college and one of the classes that was offered was a Bass 101 class by a renegade bass teacher. He showed us many things that stuck with me to this day. AND. . . He introduced me to this little rig by SWR. It had a head and 2x10" speakers in a 'near' combo like setting
It was cleaner than my rig. It was as loud as my rig. and I saw the future in that I could keep my back for a bit longer. It was the Red Head. LOVED IT.
I played that setup for a while then added a SWR 4x10" cab under it. Went to LA/Hollywood and recorded an album with Crash The Machine. They didn't have my rig but that was the sound that we engineered in the studio.
A guy from Eden Bass Amps heard some of my work and offered me an endorsement to play the Eden gear instead of the SWR stuff. I moved over and had the Eden version of the 2x10" (D2x10XLT)/4x10" (D4x10XST) cabs with the WT800 head. Now we are talking. Held up in nearly every medium venue with no PA support. PA support in the larger rooms via the D.I. out. LOVED IT!!!
When David left Eden, and after a mandated hiatus, he brought DNA Bass Amplification to the world and I made my final move to DNA.
I am using, and love the sounds of, the DNA-800 head, DNS-112 and the DNS-210. This rig is crazy versatile. I can craft nearly every tone that I need (I haven't found one yet that I can get it to do). It scales beautifully. Should I need more than the rig can provide (large rooms) the D.I. can bring over the P.A. support.
Just my 2c
