My all-time favorites - NV610 and Accugroove Whappo Jr. Both of them are bigger than I can justify now. I would love to use either but the sound guys at Churches (where I play most of the time) tend to listen with their eyes and bringing a bigger cab hurts their brain! I've found that they don't seem as intimidated by the Accugroove Tri-115 and that thing CRANKS.

If I could, I would be gigging with either a NV610 or Whappo Jr. - LOVE THEM BOTH.

If you can't tell - I MISS the NV 610!

Thinking of going with this very set-up.

I've already got the Mesa M-6 Carbine, (actually, I've got two of them, one's a back-up.)

Would REALLY like to hear more of what you think of the of the M-6/NV610T combination.
It's sound/tone, it's ability to stay clean and solid at LOUD volumes, the feel of fast or notes jumping out of the cabinet, ect., ect.

Ok had a few rehearsals and now a show under he belt.
All I can say is this is the tone I have been searching for. It's just a chest pounding bass. That hits hard and is not hifi bright but very clean. Cuts through and mixes well with the entire range of the bass.
Gets extremely loud and has plenty of headroom . Really happy with the combination. The cab is a really great cab that also makes my little mb500 sound better than it ever has. If you can a haul one I would really recommend this cab, and the Mesa head has tone for days.

Thanks for your write-up....

I'm looking for a cabinet that will stay composed at higher volumes, the 610T sounds like the answer.
I've narrowed down my "new" cabinet search to four manufacturers (Barefaced, Bergantino, Fearless, and Mesa) with the Bergantino 610T and "two" Mesa SW115 cabinets at the top of my list, (mostly because their "sorta" available in my area and I'm one of those players who won't buy gear without hearing it first.)

Or, I may just stay with the cabinets I've been working with for the past 8 + years....that'd make for a happier wife at my house....:)

Transporting the cabinet won't be a problem.
I don't mind at all moving a larger cabinet if I LOVE what it's doing for my ears.

Thanks again.
