Default Re: Avatar Speaker Cabinets - Opinions?

when I was still up in San Francisco, my brother picked up one of the bass cabs. The NEO 212 model I think it was, with the adjustable tweeter control. We hooked up a vintage Fender Super Bassman modded head by Torres Engineering, also with a swapped selection of tubes, also jumped of course, to it. Awesome for a bass sound, far from sterile, awesome grit. But the real magic was when we plugged in a simple Mexi Strat with Dimarzio Area 58's. Probably one of the best clean sounds I've ever got with that amp. Full bodied, not at all brittle, and still responsive to volume control. I had before hooked up that amp to a Mesa 4x12 as well as a Marshall 1960a lead cab, and both didn't yield comprable results.

The vintage Super Bassman has since died due to unsuccessful heart (transformer) transplant, but we have since hooked it up to an Orange Bass Terror with stellar results.

Avatar cabs are highly recommended. And they also are top quality, despite the price.
