I have never played the Array cabs. In Dec. I had fly dates to Fla, then drive to NOLA and CA , fly home to TX on another fly date followed by a christmas trip to NY. I logged a little over 12,000 miles or a little more this month..
This month is turning out to start slow with a heavy ending.. I hope to get time to go try teh Arrays at my friends here in DFW soon.

I’ve wondered about those cabs. How do they compare to the Array cabs?

I forgot to take photos of my gigs this past week. It was my MG800 on my Uber 115 cab.. Medium size rig of doom!. Punchy, LOUD too with great mid clarity..
I also went to NY to see family and brought my MG800 to show a friend @Bassist30 with a AudioKinesis TC115.. HOLY COW the TC115 and MG800 sounded incredible!

Better come over again soon. Those Alleva's were incredible also.

Mark, how about with a low B string, for small rooms or as a monitor?

The low end from the 110 is pretty outrageous. Far louder and far deeper than it has any right to be at that size. It handles a low B - at gig volumes - just fine, IMO. I plugged an active NS Design Radius bass into it, with the low B, and shook the walls here at the office pretty good. :-)
 
Just saw the announcement about the new slanted version of the BA12-3, and holy crap, GAS for a third array cab has just ramped up big time.

I honestly figured this would be the direction jeff would go. It just makes so much sense. The 10-2 was so well received...
It's the way I would have done it. Followed by a 210-3 slant around may .:thumbsup::bassist:

I'm totally going to pick one of these up this spring (if I had the cash now... It would already be ordered)

I've been secretly playing around with the BA12-3 SLT for some time, now, and should have a review to post any day now. FWIW, the middle cab in this photo is the SLT.

Here is another shot (again, with the SLT in the middle):

Question... how does the head stay on the cab when leaning back? I would guess that putting the front feet over the front edge would do the trick, but I would prefer not to.
Then I lose my drink holder too. I'm conflicted now. ;)

The gravitron holds it in place and you should have minions delivering your drinks.

Seriously the tilt isn' that much and the 350 seems to stay on the 10-2 fine.
Never put liquid on your amp next to a serious investment in electronics...
They have Mic stand cup holders now and even if you don't sing - you can out a stand to the side of your amp.

Looking at the pictures...
I was going to put the slant on top but it seems to make more sense on the bottom...

Hi gang, yes the word is out. This stack is my favorite --- Slant on the bottom / Straight on top!

Also, about holding your MG-800 on top of a slanted stack, we offer this cable management trick. Our thick rubber feet do hold the amp pretty well BUT running your power and speaker cables through the top handle provides the resistance needed to prevent the amp from sliding back. This works even with a 3 x BA12-3 SLT stack----which makes a nice "Arc of Bass".

How does that Forte sound with the Arrays?

Like a match made in heaven! Actually, I wanted to dig in more to see how the Bass Array cabs sounded with other heads, and I wanted to see how the Forte played with other brand cabs, and they worked really well together. FWIW, I also tried the triple Bass Array stack with several other 2.67-ohm friendly heads, and they played very nicely together, across the board.

And Jeff is also secretly showing you that the new BA12-3 cabs will also have the recessed, top-mounted handle! Yea!!!!
