Thanks franzbassist. I may drop him another email. It's been nearly 3 weeks. it may have slipped through the cracks on a busy day.

Hopefully you are right, Hans was always very prompt in replying when I was buying my cabs.

Anyone with experience using FMC cabinets with double bass?

Yep.  Both my 1x12 and 1x6+1x12 sound great with mine.

great that you have both the one with and without the midrange as I `d like to know how they compare on upright.

Are they the ones without tweeter?

Yes, I didn't feel I needed the tweeter and I was right.  Plenty of natural top end without any harshness.

thanks! And what about the difference between the two keeping upright in mind?

Well the larger cab moves a lot more air.  The smaller cab sounds great at low to mid volumes but struggles when pushed hard, understandably.  The second driver is really good for adding detail when playing upright.

Just what I needed to hear. Thanks!
Now the impossible question to answer is whether it does way better than my PJB C4 or my Tecamp 112xs with upright 😄

When I first came across this thread I assumed that FMC referred to Fender Music Corp.  May I take this opportunity to apologize to Hans for insulting his products.
