Ahhh! Takes me back! One of the first PA's a band I was in had those 'lovely' WEM PA cabinets:

Ha. This is exactly what I had in mind. I hadn't considered the issues of fitting in car boots though.
So I'm sure most of us have read about how stacking a couple of 2x10s together apparently produces a much more evenly dispersed sound (I say apparently as I've never tried it in person) but why is it that I've never seen a 4x10 cab which comes constructed this way? It would be sort of like a "slim fridge". Those of you with photoshop skills feel free to do a mock up.
I guess awkwardness and stability are possible factors here but in many ways I think it would be easier to transport than traditionally oriented 4x10s? Especially with wheels and a top handle. And a modular 8x10 configuration would still be possible by simply placing 2 side by side. You could even angle one of them out slightly to spread the sound out a bit more across the stage.
Is this a ridiculous suggestion? Discuss.
I have to say, I've just read through this entire 11 page thread and now have serious GAS for a Smooth Hound system! I'm not even gigging at the moment but I don't care - if nothing else it will neaten up the cables from off my bedroom floor
I've not tried any of the amps you've mentioned but it may be worth considering one of the new Hartke combos. Tried one out in the Yamaha music store in London and was quite impressed by how good it sounded even with a 5 string.

They're selling [s]make up brushes[/s] guitar dusters, and somebody bought one. Weird.

Ha! Just seen that. On one hand I can almost commend their entrepreneurial spirit. On the other hand...
Sade is definitely one of my favourite artists of all time. Actually, I've had a serious hankering in the last year or two to play bass in a Sade tribute band. Chances of that happening though - even in London - are slim. Finding a frontwoman to fill those shoes must surely be like looking for a needle in a haystack??

Do and of the toneprints on the TC pedals let you hold down the footswitch to affect things/do a swell?

To my knowledge, no. And none of them have an expression pedal input either so it's a case of dialling in the sound you want and that's it sadly. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.
Perhaps a bit of a left field suggestion but my vote goes for a TKS 1126. I'm biased since I own one but it really is a fantastic cab. There are a few others lurking here who will heartily agree with me I'm sure.
Oh man, I've been drooling over these since I first saw them. Bassdirect don't seem to stock a 5 stringer any more either, just the 6. So I guess this is the only one of these for sale in the UK right now if I'm not mistaken!
Beautiful bass. GLWTS.
