At the volume I play at both David and I agreed the 4x10 was a much better match for me. My wife liked the tone of the 2x10 a little better than the 4x10, but I didn't have to even think about it. The 4x10 just opened up for me and my whole rig and playing style. I am a predominantly a finger style player. Rarely do I ever use a pick and I most certainly cannot slap at all. We play plain old rock and roll. Loudly. Very Loudly!! The 4x10 just has smooth edges, rounded corners and beautiful clean highs for tone.(Yes those three were about the tone and not the cabinet). Like I said, it is a really good cabinet below the 12th fret but jumps out there above the 12th fret. Since I use all 24 frets of my fretboard on all 5 strings, I am all over the place. The speaker/amp combo just killed it. I have not been so excited to play live in many years.

Stunning is the word for this 410. BTW, the rubber/composite casters are supposed to be available. Check with David.

Congrats on the DNS410!

I really like my pair of DNS112 better in the beginning. One thing was the easier transport the other the low end.
But after playing it for a while my 410 really developed a very nice low end. This is my number one cab and I really got many.

There is only one downside. I can not justify to have a second one

Do you feel one DNS410 at 4 ohms with the DNA 1350 is loud(and clear)enough for even the largest of venues?

 

[Bassmann1968]

How big is largest?
It is loud for sure.
For more then 500 people we use PA support, till that size I never needed more the this combination and I think it can handle more.
I play in a 25 piece big band mostly funk and rock.

Transporting for me is no issue. Protecting it in the trailer over 70 shows a year and 9 states will be important. Mainly my gear is stored in our warehouse so not much moving. The wheels are an issue if there were diffdifferent ground sursurfaces

I kept breaking casters....So years ago I built my own strap on dolly with heavy duty casters.....Never broke a caster since and leave my dolly permanently strapped to my cab


Until I buy a new cab.....and strap it on that....Built for my Edens...then used with my Bergantinos....Now on my Epifani cabs.....DNA next?

The 1350 and 410 is certainly large enough for anything. I can tell you it is louder than my SWR Bass 750 (run at 2.6Ohms for 850w) and my Schroeder 1212, Schroeder Mini 12 and SWR Bass Monitor and that rig was on the hallowed stage at Alpine Valley and was loud enough that I didn't need monitor support on stage. This DNA rig is much louder, so I would most certainly say it will fill any size room, hall or venue. I will have it in front of 1000 people this coming Satuday.
As for castors, The EWI BC-410-3 is the case I will be using. Amazing cases, amazing customer service, excellent wheels and hardware.

[Lowendtech]

Omg!! Omg!!!!Omg... I just played the new DNA 800.. OMG!!!!

What? You have a 1350.

 

[jmcgliss]

I need to join a loud band again! My regular church gig uses in-ears and I need to bust loose!

 

[jjk2007]

Omg!! Omg!!!!Omg... I just played the new DNA 800.. OMG!!!!

What's this 800 you speak of.......

 

[iriegnome]

A new series. Smaller and less expensive. Fresh from design and the prototype was available to be tested. Some really cool things there. I do have the 1350, but this 800 would be a great club head. So sweet

 

[Lowendtech]

I'm gonna need WAY more info. So unless you've been sworn to secrecy, please spill it. I'm in the market for a head this size but don't want to wait too long.

 

[iriegnome]

I don't know exactly what I can or can't say.. I played through an amazing little 800w prototype. Some fantastic features and from what I understand! I am not sure where in the development stage it is, but it is a super cool 1-1/2 rack space amp. Probably about 4 or 5 pounds tops. Still being tweaked and modified. Not sure about release dates or when it will be available. BTW - If you have a chance to shoot DNA a message, he is a really nice guy. Super chilled. I am sure some information will be available soon

 

[Bassmann1968]

Actually you gave more info then you should have

 

[iriegnome]

is that bad?? I was rather excited...

 

[Low Class]

If the amount of time it took for the 1350 to be available is any indication, look for the 800 to be available sometime around 2018.
