Another question for Emprov:
What cabinets are those? Are they custom? I dont see them on the site.

Man, I'm gonna get pigeon holed here as the guy who can only talk about Dr. Bass stuff if I don't watch it!
Mine are the 2060 and 1080. He has them on his price list but not on the website. The website probably needs some updating, he's pretty slammed with business right now though I guess. Marc originally planned on shipping my configs with Neo's but, after a pretty long conversation, we decided to go with Delta's. And, the normal configs are with Birch, I had him make mine out of MDF for three reasons: 1) I wasn't really familiar with Dr. Bass and this was kind of an experimental run for me. I may order the birch's down the line and, 2) I'm an ex-cabinet maker and grilled Marc on how he constructs and braces them. It seems that they'll stand up to an elephant stampede. Finally, 3) I really baby my gear and am very carful with it. I looked at my Aggie and there wasn't a scuff on it so I figured that the MDF would be fine for my needs. So far, so good!

Both of mine are the MDF and I love them. I have worked them pretty hard since I have gotten them and you can barely tell. Marc told me about those cabs that he has on the price list but yours are the first I have seen boy do they look sweet. Well done!
Back in January, I received a BL2x10 and a BL1x15 from DR. BASS. I was very Impressed with the quaility in workmanship that went into this cabinets. I found the finish a welcome change from the "rat fur" carpet. Hooking them up to my SVT 4pro, I was very impressed with the sound and tonal ballance that this combination produced. I thought there was no way that these light weight cabs would work as well as they do!!
I had an SWR Goliath Jr 2x10 and a Son of Bertha 1x15 that I bought from Guitar Center a few days before the DR. BASS Cabs arrived. So, just for fun, I "A" and "B"'ed the two stacks. I used my Ken Smith MD7. I had the amp set up in bi-amp mode. I set all the tones, EQ, and the bass flat, and found out just how much the SWR cabs were "coloring" the sound of the bass. What I heard from the DR. BASS cabs was the sound of my bass. Even trying different cross over points between the two, the DR. BASS cabs still sounded better than the SWR gear. I'm glad Guitar Center has a 30 day return policy!!!
I get all kinds of compliments on how great my rig sounds. People want to know more about the cabinets; where to get them; how much; how long did I wait for them.
That's just half the story!!
During the week of May 10th, I was in Myrtle Beach for a little vacation and decided to give Marc a call to check out the "operating room"!!!(where else would Dr. Bass make his cabinets??!!??) Marc invited me out to where his band was playing and hang out. Marc's a hellava nice, and a good bass player, too!! We agreed to meet for lunch the next day.
After a nice lunch, we got down to business. I told him that I would like to have another BL2x10 and BL1x15. A little side note here. May 10th thru the 16th is Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. Marc's band was booked a lot through that week. He managed to find the time to build those two cabinets for me in time to take home on Sunday.
NOW THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!
The picture file is too big to upload, so drop me an e-mail, I'll send you a picture of my rig. Marshall's, Mesa Boogie's, Fender's beware. The Doctor's IN!!!!
Take care my fellow low-enders!!!!

P.S. How do you make a guitar player turn down???? Put sheet music infront of 'em!!!
