I can see the '15s being muddy' apply if they are a high qts speaker being loaded into a too small of a box, which I bet did happen in the past, or high frequency response that drops off quicker off axis due to larger cone diameter.
But Yahboy, haven't you heard? Aguilar throws in a free family-sized bottle of Tide liquid detergent and Downey fabric softener with each purchase of that combo!
Oh yes. And let's not forget the myth that 15" speakers provide more lows than 10" speakers. I remember back in the day when so many bass players would stack a 410 cab on top of a 15 cab, and they would say that they have the 15 cab there to provide the lows. I guess they weren't aware that in most cases, their 410 cab actually had a lower -3dB downpoint than their 15 cab. Whenever someone says that 15" speakers have a lower frequency response than 10" speakers, I guide them to Acme cabs loaded with 10's. They go WAAAAY lower than most 15's. Myth busted. The only thing speaker diameter tells you is how big around the speaker is. And believe it or not, there are people out there in the world who believe that they can swap out a speaker in their cab with any other brand of speaker as long as it has the same diameter. They don't take into consideration Thiele-Small parameters of the drivers and the design of the cab. Oh well, I guess that's the world we live in.
This rig has seen duty in all kinds of gigs from small coffeehouses to big festival stages.
Killer rigg ! Portable, huge sounding ( I take it). I still run 2 x 210s, but I don't need to.
Yes, it really was; it amazed a whole lot of people how loud it could get. I no longer have anything in that photo except for the guitar stand.
I used to have two EV B-210 cabs in a few years on either side of Y2K, usually with one of two Gallien-Krueger 700RBs, or for a short while with an Eden WT400.
Man, that Guild looks awesome! I spent most my life playing 6str guitar, so I'm ignorant to heaps of rare basses. It reminds me of the Ovation Breadwinner. (Except its Guild, and a bass !)
solid guess though.I'm wondering if the reference to "bass focal length" is related to the myth that existed decades ago where some people incorrectly believed that in order to hear bass frequencies, i.e., long wavelength sound waves, you had to be at least one full wavelength away from the sound source for it to "fully develop" as it was called way back in the day. Of course, that myth was never true because sound waves can be heard anywhere along the wave form. If that wasn't the case, you would never be able to hear bass frequencies through headphones or ear buds. I will admit, I have never heard of "bass focal length" before, so I am only guessing that it might be related to said myth.
Man, you watch. This model is going to end up a totally rare, classic combo. Yer gonna be sorry you didn't get one. I've already mowed 9 lawns...so I'm feeding the dream, man. I'm close....I know it.
Wishing you dream come true.....
Who knows Aggy next powerful 410 combo will come with 70s Tumble dryer design ....
Yes nice looking design; sure head is also totally isolated from Cab and top lid has place to store cables but head not being angled it is not as stage friendly
If it plays and sounds, half as good as it looks, it would definitely be a keeper.
How about a microwave oven by a famous high end audio manufacturer?Wishing you dream come true.....
