there's a million ways to get the right tone. Probably thousands of ways to get the same tone.
I like what the BF 10 inch cabs do to my tone, but I also really like the DI from my Mark Bass head, just with a load of compression on it too.
To my ears, Ashdowns and Ampegs need the cab to sound right to me. Mark Bass sound right to me without a cab at all.
It's all good.
I both want a Three10T and also want to not need it!
