mixing cabs yay or nay

To the OP. I have found some very knowledgable people on this forum, and gear snobs. I ask questions like this as well as other stuff to form my own conclusions. I would suggest you do the same. I rely on my ears to tell what sounds good to me. I'm 60 and I have seen the Evolution of equipment. Just because it says one thing on paper doesn't always translate to real life. If you like it go with it. I do agree with stay with the same brand and models even tho I have mixed with successes. Here is a pic of one of a few of my setups. A lot would shoot it down but I'm a working bass player that's all that matters.

I had a few HyDrive 12's... nice cabs! Love the look and sound of 1x15 under 2x10... I have a Markbass stack - looks same as urs... cept its yeller!!

Most of the commercially available lower tuned cabs are built with 10" speakers. Bigger speakers don't necessarily make lower notes. The overall frequency range is a function of both speaker frequency response and cabinet tuning.

i wish I had bought these a long time ago. I have two Genz Benz 112 focus cabs a Epifani Ps 410 and a yorkville XC115 and the hydrive can replace all of that. Oh the money I could have saved on cabinets alone we won't even talk about heads

I just want to share that one should listen before they buy. I had a GK Neo 410 and loved it until I added a 115. Both sounded great alone, each with their own character, but together they were the worst of both. I thought the mid-forward 115 would add a plus to the strong lows of the 410. I was wrong.

Careful. Mix cabs, and you may become the target of an assassin.
