Showing off your wealth!! Two milk crates? Too rich for my blood. lolFunny, I use this blue one at home, but have a black one at the drummer's house for rehearsals.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
I am finding that my BA 410-3 is a very efficient cab.. In the right room, It will get to gig volume with very little MASTER VOL . The other day i only had 9:30 on the vol knob , nearly flat EQ, (Slight bass boost, slight Contour A, was rockin... MG800 is a mighty fine amp.. Yes I has PA support too... But the stage was covered with minimal Master VOL..
I hear that black milk crates are best for metal, while blue milk crates work better for R&B.

For me the 410-3 is doing more of what i prefer and sorta need right now. . I think it gets ferociously loud for a 410 cab too..
I may go back to teh 212 one day. But the 410 sounds great, is full sounding , punchy and looks great..
I used to HATE 410 cabs.. But the Array has changed that for me. I have even tried teh array on its side so teh 3" speakers are horizontal.. . Seems to work great when i was up real tight and on top of my cab.. .
Im sorta the type that keeps using a certain piece of gear for years.. i don't gear flip so much.. I am a gear head though. .But when i find something that works i stay with it. That way i am more consistent.
I still love my old Uber 115. I just dont use it anymore. But its a keeper.. Would love to see a Genzler 115 array. that goes DEEP with a low F3 with punch and smooth up to 10k maybe one day

I've been looking for a used 12-3 slant but am only finding the straights (some at real good prices). I have the 350 combo and one 12-3 straight. For those with two 12-3's straights do you wish you had a 12 slant? Am wanting to put a 12 slant on the bottom, straight in the middle, then the combo on top.
I’m ok without the slant (I run two straights) mostly because those cabs throw so well I never have a hard time hearing myself
I’m really liking my slant on the bottom which then puts the straight on top all at the same slight angle.
Same here. I guess it could be a matter of not knowing what I'm missing. I certainly would love to try the slant with a straight just to hear it. But right now it's probably best that I don't go looking for ways to trigger any GAS!
maybe I am a bit GASsy, I just so want a slant... Maybe just so that the stack looks good in my basement (so sad)... Used to gig a ton years ago but now with family and kids the opportunities are few and far in between. Even then they are small shows where I don't need my Mesa rig (my GK combo would then see the stage) and at times backline is provided... The later is convenient but also makes me sad as I have the desire to crank the Genzler 350 to11 . Well, some rumblings of a prior metal band are happening, maybe a couple decent shows will result this year.
I'd love to get a third cab. And if I do it will be an SLT but to run all three I'd also have to get the Magellan 800. Until then I'm perfectly happy with my Shuttle 9.0 and 2 BA-12-3's. If I need to get louder than that, well that's what the PA is for.
I definitely have been thinking about getting a third BA12-3, in which case I would definitely get the SLT. I'm pretty sure it will happen one of these days.
3 would be such a massive stack! I have toyed with the idea of adding a BA210-3 and doing a little mixing and matching. My fall back is adding a MG350 combo for going to rehearsals, practice room, and there a couple of small rooms that I play where even a single 12-3 is too much. My thought is the single 10 on a top of a 12 might be a good punchy combo.
You guys are being way too practical- do you need 300+ hp in your car/truck? Do you need a 4k tv? 15 year whisk(e)y? Boutique basses? No, but they sure are nice to have... 
The thing I like best about the 3 stack is it’s up closer to ear level, and the punch in the chest you get from it. It’s very inspiring. But to each their own...
For the record, I have 2 straight and one slant...

Is milk still being delivered in these things?
