My first 8x10 was an Ashdown ABM 8x10 but the old one with celestions not the blueline speakers, thing is everything great till you hear better, so it was great till I got the Matamp then it sounded really boxy and undefined. The Matamp is a clone of 80's Ampeg (maybe 70's) 8x10 but with proper decent wood instead of chipboard. The Ampegs come the closest to it and would be what I would rent if touring properly again but I'd be going for VR or Heritage series over the standard CL My other 8x10 experience was Hartke XL and it's good but still too hifi for what I consider an 8x10 to be and this is then your issue when looking at brands like Markbass etc they generally have too much high end. Obviously I'm bias'd to my Matamp and am quite glad I've found a band recently it suits but given my other requirements if I was buying again I'd look at the Berg NV610 else my Matamp 2x12 kicks out enough volume for me but its got the insanely powerful GT200 MK2 on top of it. Also as a word of advice with an 8x10 buy used, they are hard to sell and generally only a bit more than their 4x10 counterpart so if you're getting one you want to loose as little on it as possible and be committed to the fact you're going to use it for years, I think I've had mine for 5 and it is still the best bass tone I've ever had (think guitarist stood infront of 2 4x12's) you don't grow up wanting a stack of high efficiency 1x12's behind you More than just a cab it's a feeling

Bought 2 of these that will arrive this week Thinking PT Nano with Polytune, 2x iStomp and then something like a Mantic Beefbag or Dod FX10 for those fun bass boost moments I love so much.

Had one and it's a lovely sound but overkill unless you're in a touring act. I'd roll with the Radial JDI, it's better known in sound engineer circles and it's a just a clean passive DI box.

So did you get white gloved?

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1386592609' post='2301810'] I'm in the same boat, as am getting a fuzz for Xmas. My choice in the end was the Malekko Diabolik [/quote] Dibs if you don't like it
