AttitudeCastle Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 [quote name='dood' post='1130941' date='Feb 17 2011, 01:06 PM']They used to and you might still be able to pick up a 2200. PeteD and Fretmeister both own/have owned the 2x12XLs and I think they sound great - I'm a big fan of the XL range, speshly the 4.5XL [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1638&brandID=3"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...8&brandID=3[/url] I saw a conversation on TalkBass with Larry and he'd said (at the time) there wouldn't be any reason to make a HyDrive 2x12 as it would be just the same as two 112's anyway - I think he'd said that he wanted to keep the range simple and easy to manage. Now, I've no idea if demand has changed that more recently - I think a tallboy 2x12, which appears to be an 'in' design would possibly fill a gap. Who knows![/quote] I'll keep my ear too the ground for one of those! The XLs sound great, the ALUMINIUM (sorry america ) cones give a great bright edgy attack A 212 would be lighter which than two 112s would be biggest advantage i can think of, wouldn't be a huge difference, I've always found 212s have a bit more bass and channel sound into the ground better than 112s I prefer the sound of the XLs over the Hydrives but they do not XL 12s! so used looks like where i'll have too look!

gsgbass Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm using the LH500 on board a HyDrive 5410C. It works and sounds great. I tried three MB450 Marshall heads. The fan motors were terrible. The Hartke does everything I want or need from a 500 watt amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
