I see what you're saying...

Yeah, I think I even have too much for what I've been up to lately, amp-wise. I'm not even in a real gigging/recording band at the moment, and unfortunately in order to join a viable band I'd need to make 2-3 hour round trips into Detriot or Ann Arbor, MI So it's been a lot of solo work and going to school. But on said solo work.... the bass is certainly noticeable!

I feel ya threre. I've got a practically brand new Avatar 410 sitting in the garage covered up, a Carvin R1000 that's boxed up, and my main bass (Schecter custom 5) is in it's case under the bed. I've been bandless for a while since the baby and new job take up all my time. All I've been doing is noodling around with my Ibanez and a direct line from it into my soundcard.

No charts.Cheat sheets for lyrics.I sing 48 of our songs and sometimes I need a little safety net at my age. And thanks,the Ric matches up real nice with the Venture.

Hello all, just recently returning to TB after a long time away..

I've been doing the cover-band thing and switched to just playing direct, shelving the M-Pulse 600, mostly due to weight but also from a crappy high-end from my ancient SWR Goliath III cabinet. From a little reading, looks like this is not a good pairing so my question to you all is: I need a good cabinet for all around variety music (typical cover band bull), doesn't weigh a ton, and can take a beating.

I'm leaning towards a 2x12, but the thought of a 2x10 and 1x15 is tempting so I have some options.

IMO it's hard to beat 212's for playing classic Rock covers.

So what 2x12s would be good choices? Obviously a powerhouse 2x12, but what else works well?

Well this is the mesa thread, so I think your responses are going to be biased.

The mesa 212 is neo and is surprisingly light. Great cab if you can try it.

The only other 212 I'd try would be an aguilar. I still swear by brand-matching though...

I figured as much, but it never hurts to look for options. I'll check and see if my local guy has one. Thx!

just got a Mesa Basis M-2000 a few days ago- complexity galore. I'm really digging it- count me in!

 

[Visirale]

Oh what's that? Don't mind me, I'm just passing through.

NICE!

I believe that rig needs a Dolph Lundgren sticker on it. "I must break you"

Almost ready, must cut some cables and I'm almost finished with two homemade fan strips (1HE above the Strategy and 2HE above the Bass 400)

With all those casters it's like rolling thunder!

Got a somewhat local deal willing to sell me a powerhouse 1000 for $600. I REALLY want to go light and portable, but the thought of some femur shattering brown-noise is really tempting..

I've got horrible GAS, but don't know what I really want. I've got my Trace Head and my Mesa on the FT chopping block. I've had tons of interest in my M-Pulse, which makes me think that I should hold on to it.
