Thanks!
It was just whether the GB cab is aggressive and punchy...but also good with other brands of amp....and an all tube. Have you tried any other amps with them?
Thanks

The Uber is designed with the intent of being the punchiest, most aggressive and quickest cab on the market. ....lots of grunt and growl.
The speaker and the ports themselves, were designed to get some of the high-mid honk out of some neo cabs I've heard. It was also designed to get away from the "rumbly" low end that our XB2 series had.
Tube amps- I've played the Uber with quite a few....with lots of hours on them.

In comparing both the Berg and the Epi 410 cabs to the Ubers...I'd have to say these cabs are both high end cabs that are able to reproduce accurately the sound of your bass...they sound best IMO at low volume applications and without other instruments and in louder bands mixes they can get a little lost in the mix.Again IMO, the Uber 410 iw lik3 hqving your bqww on wteroids and it just sounds etter cuts thru them iz better and is louder is if you need it... and the tones are to die for. You can have the typical bass sound that you get from your Berg and Epi, cabs but more...think of tones like 60's, ie, Jack Bruce, Entwistle le,etc.....a very flexible cab...Peace...DAcat

Fingers run away from you there?
I was thinking that this is kind of like the emails I get from customers when they use their Black Berries.
Am I even close to compare the Uber410 with the Eden D410XLT? I have limited time with the Uber by itself, but never A/B them. My memory tells me they have similar flavor.
Watching the youtube video posted by fretless boy suggest the same. I understand that you have extensive experience with both, can you please comment too?

They really are quite different. The 410XLT is a much more midrangy cabinet. Not to say that it doesn't have some bottom but, you hear it more than you feel it.The Uber410 is a big thick tight sound that really lays "feel" to the floor. You feel this thing and it stays punchy and very tight. I am not sure if you used headphones or not to listen to the videos but if not you should... it will help you hear the beauty.
Played another gig last night with my GBE1200/410 Uber rig and I just can't express how happy I am with it. This place was as small and tight as they come for a 4 piece rock band, so my rig was overkill to the say the least! BUT, even at lower volume, this rig is just as Dennis describes it: low, tight, punchy but with a real nice growl to it as well. I had so many people come up to me, musicians and not, and tell me they couldn't get over how great the bass sounded and how sweet my rig is.
I let the opening band use it and it didn't matter whether I was right in front of the band, or outside on the front deck at the completely opposite end of the building. The bass sat just perfectly in the mix.
The only GAS I have left rig-wise is for a ShuttleMax 12 (to replace the monster 1200 if it in fact sounds as good as the 1200, and all indications are that it does) and an Uber 210 for these smaller gigs so I can travel lighter when the 410 is overkill. Then if I need a really big sound, I can stack the 210 and 410 and use both outputs on the SM 12.
In my best Scottish accent ala Braveheart: I'm a happy man.

Yes, I am also curious of the Uber 210 review. My Uber 212 needs a friend.
I had my first outdoor gig with my Uber 212 this past weekend and it seemed to hang in there just fine. I was a little worried that the 212 couldn't handle an outdoor gig with 300+ people, but it did. The volume on my ShuttleMax 12 was just above 10:00 so I still had plenty of volume left. Our lead guitarist even commented that the new cab was too punchy
, is there such a thing
... no such thing as 'too punchy', remember... it was a guitarded that spoke those words!!
I miss my Uber 212...

A fractured finger has kept me on the sideline for a while, but I felt good enough to play tonight, and this cab sounded better than I remembered (after a whopping 2 weeks 
). Happier with it every time I fire it up.

I just got down laying down a couple of tracks with my rig... Corvette 5 (EQ flat) --> GBE-1200 (both channels, slight OD on the tube, EQ flat, LF Extend at noon) --> Uber 410. The sound is freakin' incredible. I'll try to link some samples later.
