I need a cabinet!

I see avatar cabs quite frequently online. How are they??


I gigged two, Avatar 210 Neo cabinets stacked as a vertical 410 for close to 10 years in a LOUD, working, semi-touring, outlaw country band.

I'm still impressed with just how good these inexpensive cabs sound and how well they've stood up to constant use.

The Avatars replaced expensive and hard to transport Ampeg (810 and 410HLF cabinets) and Eden (210XLT and 212XLT cabinets.) I never regretted the switch and the Ampeg and Eden cabinets are long since gone.

I'd still be banging away full time on the Avatars but 1-1/2 years back I stumbled onto a used Bergantino NV610 cabinet and it has become my main gigging cabinet for probably 90% of our jobs. The remaining 10% the Avatars are used.

We're playing a local bar job tonight, small stage, big room, maybe 250/300 capacity, I'm using the Avatars in the vertical 410 stack driven by a Mesa M-6 Carbine and a old Jazz Bass with FOH.
