I think I would break my roommates if I was pushing an 8x10 and a 1x15

I wanna find one of those 2x10+1x18 Peavey cabs. I bet those things kill everything.

It almost killed my car, the one time I dropped it trying to unload it by myself. Thing weighed about 200 pounds EASY if not more

Sunn Concert Bass into Peavey 2x15 is my "guitar" rig and I also use a Peavey TNT 130 with 1x15 when I wanna combo... I like shit to be heavy and Bass Amps deliver, plus I can switch to Baritone or Bass and I know what it's gonna sound like with pedals...

My friend is debating selling me his Traynor cab with 4x10s and a 12 inside (like the size of an 810) and then maybe I'd buy a 115 and use those with either my bass head or guitar hear and sell my 412....
Fuck that would be hella tight....

That sounds unpleasantly heavy to lug around.

4x10s a 12 and a 15 would sound GREAT on guitar...
My Concert Bass stays clean for ever and is hella loud which is what I want so the pedals can shine...

It's got two wheels on the back and handles. I don't think it could possibly be worse than the ungodly heavy 410 I have now. It's little, unimpressive looking, awkward and heavy. Fuck I hate that fucking cab..... You know what? 2014 is the year I really pimp it up, cab wise.....

So uh this just popped up, not quite, but almost locally...

I read some reviews and a lot of them mention that it's amazing for both bass and guitar
Horribly tempted

Yea, good handles and decent casters help a ton. Just don't book somewhere in a basement or an upstairs.
