    To those of you who own or have used both, "Are the reproduction double baffle cabs worth the extra cash compared to the 115HE?" I would be using it with the PF-50T and look to get as close to the original tone as possible. P-bass, flats, foam. You get the idea.

    Thanks in advance,

    They certainly are to me. More high end, less big low end. But as always, it's a judgment call, and a lot depends on the speaker you choose. I went with a Delta 15a in my repro double baffles.

    Jimmy:

    Thanks for the reply. I knew it wouldn't take long. Any preference, i.e, Fliptops vs. Vintage Blue? PM me if you think that is more appropriate. Thank you again!!

    Fliptops makes a functional nice cab, but Vintage Blue cabs are works of art. Plus I've had to de-rattle the Fliptops cab occasionally but never the VB cab. And VB's latest batch of tolex is better. If I were to buy again, I'd totally go VB every time.
