A V4 was actually my first choice but they're hard to get locally. Ones that are priced reasonably disappear in no time. T40 basses do rock. I want to get one for some ghetto Ric tone once I clear out some inventory.

What are some good 2x15 cabs I could pair this up with for bass? Would kinda like to avoid the original 70's style due to size/weight. Maybe I could put a couple old JBL's in a smaller modern cab.

The older Peavey 215's are fairly small and light.

That might be the first time I've ever seen small and light in reference to Peavey anything.

Yeah, I thought about Peavey but never knew them to be light. Some local guy had a smaller Carvin cab that he put Black Widows in. Sadly I missed out.

That style is definitely on the smaller/lighter side of most 215's.
I have a Ampeg 215 and a Acoustic 115 that are both a good bit heavier than my Peavey.
It's more awkward to move but, depending on the speakers, weighs about the same as a solid 412 cab .

I have the HD130 212, and it's great. Really heavy duty, very loud, very clean, nice Fender-y tones; it's like a better Twin.

Last time I'm bumping this one. I bought the amp but I have a question on series wired jacks. Does this mean I need to daisy chain my two 8 ohm cabs in to one jack for the head to see a 4 ohm load?

EDIT:

These bros got the knowledge:

Also, who wires amps in series rather than parallel.

Yeah i've always been confused about the series speaker outs. but I only have 1 8 ohm cab right now so I don't really have to worry about it

I have gotten some conflicting information. Someone told me that I can only run the cabs in parallel (daisy chain), and someone else told me it was fine to run both cabs out of the head on the 4 ohm setting. I don't get why it's series wired, either.

Do you have an amp tech? if you do I would give him a call and ask him.

Never seen a VB-2 outside of my own or Skip's pics.
whodis

For the record, this is one sick sounding bass amp. I ran it though a 1x15 and it rocked like hell.
