Finally got my ultimate cabinet

I would love to hear / feel that thing.
My 1st cab was a 412 Bassman. Tthen an Ampeg 412.
SWR 410 in the 90s and beyond. just about ruined my back dead lifting that thing!
Now I'm mostly back to 12s; Ampeg, Aguilar & Genzler.
Closest I have to that is the Genzler MG212 & 112 stacked.
(BTW: I like 12s)
PS: You'll need a speaker stand to get those drivers closer to your ear level.

Nowhere at the moment. I only returned to bass a bit over a year ago after 15 years break. Been learning how to play again and writing music while I hunt for the right band to join/form.
Someone has to ask - if a subway 215 is 60 lbs, is an 80 lb subway 412 feasible? Probably no market for it, but I can dream, can't I?
Being from Petaluma and still living here, all I can say is CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!
Aside from maybe older BAG END stuff, the Mesa Subways are top shelf, for sure.
8 hour drive each way ? I hope you made a little vacation / road trip out of it with a prize at the finish line !!!

If that’s your practice cab, I can’t imagine how large is your gigging cab

Have always wanted one of these cabs but never could find one close enough. I however just joined the 412 club with a Bergantion NV412 which is epic. Never gigged out much like yours in immaculate condition.
Enjoy it.
In addition to practicing with it, it will also help you get the dust off of the rafters in those difficult to reach spots.
Funnily enough, albeit not rafters, but under the couch, fridge, etc, I frequently fly my drone indoors for that purpose, before vacuuming.
I suspect I could simply use this cab to shift said household items instead.
Don’t forget to adjust the EQ after the blood dries in your ears...

Mate, the bonus of having a cabinet that size is that you can lay it on its side against a wall, put some cushions on it and use it as a couch.
I am only practising at this point. And realistically my Presonus Eris 8 monitors are more than adequate for practice. I gave up bass for 15 years, only started up again last April. Pretty much had to learn how to play all over again, especially as I returned with my first ever 6 string. I'm now 100% gig ready, just gotta find a band to join or find the right people to form one with. Have been writing a heap of music as well that hopefully transfers to the band I end up a part of.
I can say, having just had a quick test blast, that matched with the Warwick and Ampeg it is the perfect sound I have always wanted, dating all the way back to 1993 when I first started playing bass.
