Oh yeah, I forgot some of my old cabs.
I had a super-old 2x15 EV cab back in college that was totally blown out but damn did it look cool.
Then I ran these two together:
which had a Peavey Black Widow in it after I decided I hated the Hartke driver.
and this:

Moustsche, what did you think of the RedBear? I just bought a MK60 today, cab and head for 400$. So far it sounds great with the MV dimed, but the cab has it's limitations in handling bass frequencies. I wasn't expecting much from the cab anyway.

I loved it. Had ass crushing low end, and had pretty decent gritty cleans. Definitely a br00tz amp, though. I was using it with that old Peavey 15 cab I posted above, and that was one of the best tones I had ever achieved.

Yeah, it's too big. I was on the transit with it, and was like "holy fucking shit, this thing needs a whole bench to itself." ACC is crazy, though. They say it's 170 watts, but it pushes SOOOOO much air.

Yup. Studio got raided overnight. They cleared the place out ... mixing desks, amps, guitars, drums, DAT machines (it was a while ago), everything but the lightbulbs. Bastards.
FWIW, every recording / rehearsal studio in Glasgow I ever encountered was basically a front for laundering drug money, so the chances are this was some kind of drug dealers fucking over other drug dealers, and delving into it too deeply will get you kneecapped...if you're lucky.
But man I miss that bass more than anything.
Never lend people gear. Ever. Unless you can cope with never seeing it again.

I've only owned combos before my current setup, but I've owned a Marshall MG100DFX and a Bugera V22 combo.
