My Dream Combo... Finally!

[Stumbo]

Just curious to know why you didin't install a handle on top to be able to pick it straight up? Seems to me that it would be more convenient to have this as well, especially when a cover is on it.

 

[portaflexer]

I could easily add that at any time. I just figured it's not really a one had grab. 50+ lbs. is not heavy in the grand scheme of things... but it's still a 2 hand carry. Besides the casters make it easy to push if I need to move it with one hand (or foot).

 

[bassguppy]

With a custom cover the handle situation is moot. I think placement of the handles are near perfect.

What are the cab dimensions? I'm drooling at the thought of a 1x12/1x6 with a tilt back leg.

That looks sweet. To be absolutely perfect (for me), I'd want it to be vertical with a telescoping dolly.

Very nice!!

+1 Make it vertical with telescoping dolly and the TB world would beat a path to your doorstep.

I agree. A vertical stack and telescoping dolly is the way to go here. That would make awesome even awesomer!

 

[portaflexer]

By vertical, I'm assuming you mean the 10's are on top of each other correct? I actually thought of that. It would theoretically make the footprint smaller, but you would still need enough width for a standard rack head. You might save a couple inches, but in the end I decided on side-by-side. To each their own though. Go for what you know.

That's the coolest thing I've seen on TB in awhile! I've actually been gas-free for several months now... thanks to you that's no longer the case.

I'll name it. "LDS Power Cube"

Sorry man. Guilty as charged.

Tell ya what... I just got back from doing a jam session with it. Man this amp rocks! I played with a guitarist (tube 212 combo), drummer (Gretsch rock kit), and keyboardist (115 combo). I used my MM Stingray and a couple pedals. I never had to turn the volume past 3 and it was great tone. This baby was a good purchase. I'm way happy.

a little late on the fun here . . . soory

But what was the price?

 

[portaflexer]

I think I've got about $850 invested in the cab/head.

 

[xxpigxx]

not bad at all

Good stuff (and thx for the quick reply on an old thread)!

 

[Lammchop93]

That is simply beautiful.

I've been looking into upgrading my combo (SWR LA15), and wanted your exact specifications.

Does the Carvin allow another extension cab to be paired up? If so, that would be amazing.

500watts in 50lbs... mindblowing...

d=wait till you guys see the new GK combos coming out is August. 500 watts into 30 pounds. and only $600-$700.

 

[GT Kirk]

How did your amp hold up?
Is it still rocking?

 

[portaflexer]

Oh man. I love this thing. It was seriously one of the best purchases I've made. No complaints... nuttin' but praise and a lotta bottom.

 

[The Growler]

Very nice. Congrats!

 

[henryjurstin13]

I've been studying 15" cabs lately, I bet a kickback "combo" cab like this for my LMT800 would be uber-cool... and then, another non-kickback 15" sized the same to put underneath.... ahhhh, did I just hear my wallet open?!?!?

 

[Sten]

How do the pop-up casters work?

 

[portaflexer]

They're just normal casters like this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I'm sorry I know this thread is a little old and I dont want to beat a dead horse but... I went through two GK MB212's and am now considering a Carvin BR515N. I came across this thread and it sparked my interest. Did you supply all the parts and have the guy supply the cabinet? How did that situation work?
