It's difficult to advise which of the two high end cabs would be best for you. All I can say is that I'm very happy with my VdK 112ext. It's "only" 300 watts but untill now it has proven to be sufficient for the rather small venues I play. Might we need more bass volume I would not hesitate to order another 112ext on Marc. This would use the full potential of the LMIII and I'm pretty sure this would cover all my needs.

There would be added volume but I'm not sure how much. I am using a single 112ext (with a LMIII ) in my band where it gives sufficient volume for the small venues where I regularly play. If I ever needed more volume I would add a second cab rather than choosing a cab with a higher wattage I guess. (although it's much more expensive).

I use a VanderKleij 112 powered by my LMIII and it has been sufficient so far. Beatifull sound and loud enough. But then.....our drummer is called Beatbuddy and has a volume knob. In case I would join another (louder) band I might add a second Vanderkleij 112. Should be more than enought for me. I love the size and the weight of these little rigs and don't want to go back to hiring vans in order to haul the heavy bassman 100 and super six reverbs of the past.

Just read an (on-line) article of the Dutch Music Maker (5 Dec.2016) which states that instruments up to 10kg can be taken across borders without problems. Aparently this only goes for CONSUMERS. I haven't found any confirmation of this statement yet.

I run my LM3 through a Vanderkley 112ext. It's loud enough for the kind of gigs I do ( pubs, receptions etc.). I also use it for home practice. For my taste it gives sufficient punch and low end so I'm very happy with this combination.

Congratulations with your cab. It must be very rewarding building something that meets your expectations.

I play in a band with a singer, guitar player and me on electric bass. I have tried on acoustic bass but apart from the volume problem it din't appeal to me. So I am using my fender jazz and fit nicely in the mix. No one considers it a problem.

I am playing my jazzbass through a LMIII and a Van der Kleij 112ext. and am very happy with that combination. Check out Scott Devine for an impression of this gear. But obviously the best way is to try them out. But having said this.....the cabs will sound different depending on the venue.

If you're thinking about 112s you might want to consider Van der Kleij cabs. Well built high quality bass cabs.

Gigged with one 112ext and LM3 yesterday. More than enough for a small venue like a pub or a restaurant. Even at relatively low volume great sound and sufficient low end. If I ever join a louder band I will get myself another 112ext. without second thought. Love the sound, love the weight, love the dims.

Congratz with your new 112MNT! Van der Kleij cabs are phenomenal (no I don't hold shares!)

Your gear may be modest now, but you will soon find yourself spending large sums of money on equipment that you suddenly realise you need... [/quote] I know, I know....i've been there. But I'm much more realistic now and less of a gearhead...............

Hi, My name is Ernest and I am a 70 yrs young Dutch bassplayer. I started playing guitar when I was 16/17 yrs old (Shadows era) on a Höffner strat-like model. When I was 20 I was asked to play bassguitar in an Amsterdam based band. We were quite succesfull in- and around Amsterdam and played every weekend. Years later I started a symphonic band together with my brother and a friend. We were drifting on clouds and convinced "we would make it". I made the unwise move from bass to keyboards and played them untill we came back to earth and realized we couldn't earn a decent living with making music. For hobby I played bass in a dixyland band but due to another career quit again and finally sold everything. Some 6 or 7 years ago I got the vibe again and treated myself with a new Am. Std. Jazzbass . Playing along with spotify (shadows, eagles, poco etc) I got myself in some degree of shape and quite recently I was asked to join a small combo which plays background music on receptions etc. Guitar, singer and bass. You will never see me on TV or read my name on billboards but I like it a lot! My gear is very modest and very portable; Fender Jazzbass, Little Mark 3 , Van der Kleij 112ext.
