my ridiculous rig

that's amazing. +1 for power conditioners with lights on

Sweet Jesus... I'd love to hear that at full tilt.

Nice work.

Looking good! I have an interest in this kind of a rig, so have you ever just used 2 2x10 cabs? If so how do you rate that set up for tone and volume?
Also have you ever used 3 2x10's? What were they like?

Indeed - shame they actually weigh quite a bit...

Yup - I have regularly used 2 2x10s and they alone are sufficient for most gigs. The reason I wanted the extra cabs was to move the 3rd cab closer to my ears (I stack them 3 cabs high usually) and not so much for tonal reasons or volume reasons. The extra cabs obviously make things louder, but I see that as more headroom and a more controlled sound. The speakers aren't working as hard but shifting more air... it seems to give a more defined bottom end and the bottom B is astounding.

The 3 cabs stacked are significantly taller than the 6x10 cab with the third cab being just lower than my ear level. The 4th cab was bought for a spare to leave in the house for practice and for those stupid gigs where I can run the amp down to it's minimum load. The 2 2x10 and 3 2x10 are my preferred setups for most gigs.

I find the options available great... just take the number of cabs I need for a specific gig and I am away... but above everything, the cabs are in small, light, easy to manage units. If I did a gig with an 8x10 setup, I guarantee that by the end of the night I wouldn't be regretting it like the guy struggling to get the fridge in and out of the venue and into their vehicle...

I can get all of this and 3 basses in Hiscox cases in a VW Golf hatchback... with both front seats free... and I can load it all by myself. How many Ampeg fridge guys can do that without causing considerable damage to their gear of their car?

OK, it may not be the cheapest way of buying cabs... but it does give you a hell of a lot of options.

Quality. Ha ha - bet you never had any issues with being heard over the drummer!!

[stonecoldbass]

You should've gotten a quarter of a 15 inch speaker in the corner of each cab so that when you stick them all together you get a bonus speaker!
haha,
nice rig btw!

Now, now... I shouldn't mix drivers

[EBS_freak]

Did my first gig with all 4 cabs the other day... it was a pretty big venue with no PA support so I thought I would give it a whirl. Jeez... ridiculously loud... and the amp was not breaking a sweat.

I loves it!

That's more like a wall with speakers! Very cool though, and much more portable than some of the monumental Phil Jones Bass stuff I've seen! EBS stuff sounds killer, love it.

[Dread Bass]

That seems like a good idea to me. I vote for the Win.

It works for me. I've had it some time and I've had no need to change and have had no lustings after anything else... The only thing I am waiting for it for EBS to bring out a class D head with the TD650 sound so I can have an uber portable 1 cab set up!
