A clone of Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
The funniest-to me-is #7. Both of our guitarists are 'jazz cats'(we could do a gig of all jazz/standards/bossa novas but there's no call for it), and do songs-by choice-in Eb. It don't matter to me, I just move the bass slightly to my right.

Sometimes everything comes together and the total is greater than the sum of it's parts. The P is all Warmoth with Fender '63 PUP, the headstock is matching.
The J is also Warmoth with a Musikraft roasted neck and Dingwall 4way rotary switch.
These are 2 of the best/most thunderous examples of their genre I've ever heard, and I'm proud to own them. However, they won't displace my Thunderbirds/Fenderbirds for gigging.
The black '66J which I am the second owner of, and have had since '83 is meh. I also have a meh '58P NOS CS I commissioned in '08. They are more typical of the generic Fender (IMO).

It would be pretty hard for me: “Please sir, can I move to Ulster? We left in the 17th century and since then you all seem to have worked out most of the issues.”
Look at the Mesa Subways. The 410, 215, a pair of 115s…Designed by the guy who designed your Genz.
Yeah I think those are the ones I looked at and the 410 was about $1200 and I'd need two... still on my list.
Unfortunately, the 410s and 215s have gone way up. They are now 2K. My 410 was 1499 in January of ‘21. Fabulous cab.
yeah, I might have to deal with heavy cabs.....
A Google search might yield an amusing result.
A good compromise option if you want a sealed cab is a used Berg NV610 or NV610T. They’re under 100 lbs and sound better than a fridge. I’m not a big guy, but I can manage getting it up and down stairs (I even did it wearing a cast on my ankle) and loading it in and out of the car. They were popular for several years and used ones do come up once in awhile.
Lots of fun the last couple of days getting to know the Carbine. What an amp! Thanks Jeff! I’m a very happy camper. I put it in the Gator rack case George passed along to me. I’m ordering a rack mount Furman from SW today.
I’ve found a couple of the distinct voicings I really like. I’m also ordering the foot switch to be able to combine a couple of the voicings. Very fun.
Man. This thing gets loud!

An awesome sounding cab for sure.
Amazon has rack mount Furmans.
Thanks.
Sweetwater is cheaper and it’ll be here Monday. And I appreciate the easy customer service, where you can speak with an actual person. Plus their 2 year warranty service is excellent.
