ok guys I need your help.

I have a chance of trading for either the PH410 or the PH212. I know I can try them both and see which I prefer but I can't try them out in band situation.

I have the M9 and play an active 5 stringer.

For those of you who have experience with both, Which of the 2 cabs do you think would be a better fit for me? I play in a loud death metal band.

Keep in mind that if I chose the PH410 I will add a PH115 at some point.

oh! Both cabs are 8ohm.

Thanx

M9+PH212 = sexxy time :bassist:

(get two while you're at it ;))

Also I'd get another matching cab for whatever you end up with- PH410 or PH212. That 115 is just gonna be buried under each of those and end up being just a really expensive cabinet stand. :)

I tried the PH212+PH115 thing before and yeah, the 115 doesn't really add all that much.

New Amp Day :D
The Minty Mesa M-Pulse 600 arrived today.
Gotta love one day shipping.
Same UPS zone as the GC store in Long Island.
Thing is, they "forgot" to pack the foot controller and the cord for that.
AND "forgot" to pack the A/C power cord for the amp!!!???
So cannot plug it in and give it a rip till tomorrow.
At least they are eating overnight shipping just in case.
Might have a buyer for my GK rig from local CL listing.
Am leaning towards giving the PH215 cab the nod.
Have not played a 215 cab in ages.
There is one brand new in a local music store.
The PH215 does have an adjustable horn in it right?
So I should still be able to dial in some decent mids and low mids from it, right?
I have been playing a 410/115 rig lately and before that a 810 cab.
So just hoping IF I end up doing this PH215, it will not just be only boomy lows???
Thoughts?
Thanks.

I think I can help, here - the PH215 is definitely NOT just "boomy lows", in fact it's more mid voiced than lows... sort of like the older Diesel 215s, only a little more lows and alot more highs(which are fully adjustable)... From your description, you'll like the PH215 - and I can tell you from 1st hand experience that it works really well with the M-pulse 600:

Agreed - I think you're better off getting a pair of PH212s, or holding out and getting the PH412... The problem with most of the smaller Mesa cabs is that they're pretty heavy for their size... Loading in a PH410 and PH210 doesn't sound like any fun at all to me - and that's coming from someone that gigs with a PH810...

Thanks, hahaha!!! - it started with a PH610, which became expendable when I got my PH810... So, I sold the PH610 and ordered up a new PH215 - to have something a little different...

Your setup is similar to what I'd like to have one day...except mine would be to get another PH1000/1200. I was very close to pulling the trigger on the 810 though when I got the 1000.
