As long as things make sense to me I'm good ;) I really enjoyed the cab last night full big growly stage filling tone ! It lacked the sustain on the D and G string, might be due to the realitivley low volume level due to the size of the place, I can't wait to pair it with my other cabs !

anyone notice the 5 basses on the rack..  Assume.  you make us proud... never enough base=ses is what i always say.....

Page was usually too drunk to play especially later on...

5 is to many, even for me. The fretless I use for two songs, The Grabber is half step Tuning and I use that for three songs, The Jazz is for the Zep stuff, The two birds for everything else. I should knock it down to one bird but it is so hard to chose !

Scott how big is your Car/Van or truck  ;D :mrgreen: Do you use an A/B/Y switch to change from bass to bass?

'03 Honda Odyssey I can fit 5 basses three cabs two heads, cable case wardrobe bag etc. in it. I love it ! No switching for the basses though I do use a Seymour Duncan pickup booster pedal for my weaker basses (Fenders)

The issue with the highs and the lows is something that plagues anyone without a mixed range of cabs - run her with a 12" cab should be spot on for your smaller gigs... I know your 200 has a similar tone and feel to my 100 so that ain't gonna be the issue... IIRC, you could lay that cab sideways and stick a 412 on top (where space is limited); it won't look out of place, and that should give you what you want...

You could also experiment with a 4 x 12 stood behind the 2 x 15" pointing either backwards or possibly sideways. As I say, experiment. But in the right place & with the correct separation (breathing room) between the cabs & ports it'll beef up a fat sound but obviously give the mids. Main thing is it gets the amp working hard & balanced.

Nice to see Scott, I assume that's/was H's 201??   ;D

Hi Stu, Same here ! Yep that's H's DR201. For that gig I did just fine with the 2x15, There really wasn't room for another cab anywhere and frankly for the $ earned it's not worth the effort. Next week we start our run of outdoor summer shows, more cabs for sure !

Manly men with nothing to prove drive minivans ;D

It does takes some stones to drive a Mommiewagon on a daily basis :P 

Says the guy that drives an 07 Dodge Caravan every day ;)

At least nobody pulls up beside me at a red light and sees me in my minivan and thinks "penis car"!

Laugh all you want, best gear hauler I have ever owned! I use it as a family, gear, boat, antique hauler, paint wagon, and picker van. I love the thing and would buy another. And there is plenty of room for me and the missus...............................if you get my drift ;)
