... unless you've been eating a lot of brassicas ...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Thinking about selling the 2 MM cabs.  Shoot me a PM if you're interested.  Otherwise, I'll post them in Sales subforum later this week.

Oh man, not only does The Wiff know me very well, she is also a merciless troll.  A text exchange just now:

Me (not expecting a positive response at all): I don't suppose you have any desire to visit Rochester?
Her (she has a friend from there): I've always wanted to go!!!               
Me: Rlly?
Her: Um, no.... what piece of used musical gear do you wish to pick up from there?
Me: LOL
Her: Or is it a LIPP show?
Me: [redface emoticon]

I'd love to have a 2.nd rig.... but the shipping would be crazy.

Yeah, shipping would be a bit much.  Ironically, these cabs are not real heavy or deep.  By most standards, they are reasonable for hauling and setting up.  I just don't have time or energy to upgrade them.  Just got a new half-time job and that with bass building is going to swamp me!  So much for retirement!

Yah, it's harder to retire than I imagined!  Got my old job back at Rochester Institute of Technology running the MS in Health Systems Admin, part-time and on my terms.  Should actually be fun!

Decided to upgrade one of the cabs and see how it does.   What the heck!

+1.  I actually love the 115 with the 400 Ev i put in it.  Might be my favorite single speaker cab i own.  LIke it much better than the ampeg  pf15HE.

This tread title goes for me as well: I'm running a Music Man HD 130 into an Ampeg Isovent, (with 2x10" & 2x15"), sounds fantastic!
That amp is great with pedals and as it could take another 4 Ohm cab, I was thinking about adding maybe a 2x12" ... ?

Got the EV and it looks nice.  Working on some damping material now.
