Congrats, and welcome to the club! What number is your cab, my tolex NV215 is number 215B1004. I've been looking into the Aguilar DB750 head for this cab, if I don't go ALL tube, and you may have just helped me make my decision. :bassist:

215B1017. This head has never sounded so good. The only cab that sounded as good w/ the DB750 was the HT322 which I sold like an idiot:crying: Lovin this cab though! Very responsive for a 2/15

I would think this cab sounds better with the DB750 than the HT322... tighter in the lows, less modern up top. Nice! That's one heck of a 'modern/vintage' rig right there!

The 610 has more cut and punch but the 215 envelops everthing within a three block radius. They're different but very complementary cabinets.

Yeah, together they'd make one serious rig. I'd just have to decide which one to get as a standalone though as both would be serious overkill for my needs and probably just about everyones needs :D

Hopefully I'll get to try out the 610 soon...

Thanks for your help.

I've had the NV425 Cab for over a year. It's been matched up with a Genz Benz head but about 2 months ago I picked up a Traynor YBA 200. A match made in heaven, I can't believe how good that cabs sounds with tube power.

No problem. The 610 is like the sonic equivalent of a karate kick directly in the chest. The 215 is more like a bear hug from a Sumo wrestler. They're both realy effective but with slightly different approaches.

Hope that helps.

I have 215B1000. I played it last night with my V4 outside at a pool party and it sounded so sweet. I recorded the show with my Edirol R-09 setting about 10 feet in front of us. After listening to it this morning I think it was the best tone I have ever had! Wish I couldve brought the SVT for its first gig with me, but decided the V4 would be less overkill. LOVE my NV!

SIDE NOTE:

I would also say that the 70's V4 is a great tube head for someone looking for some tubey goodness at a reasonable cost, and the Edirol r-09 is simply amazing. If it broke, I would buy another one. Its that good. You can really hear your tone from the audiences perspective with this. I record every performance I am a part of.

The NV215 is, hands down, my all-time favorite bass cab. IMO it's the perfect balance of full, smooth, punchy, and articulate. I particularly love the smoothness of the 6" paper cone versus the more common horn tweeter. Pairing it up with a Carvin B1500 has controlled my rock amp GAS for quite some time now.
