That's quite at odds with a true 'vintage' tone; my 65 Fender Bassman wouldn't go below G before going apoplectic. But todays drivers aren't so anemic. An OTop 12 will handle a low B, the question is whether you'd need a 1x12 or 2x12 to get the levels you want.

i agree, but I'm not really after total vintage "authenticity", just less of that high frequency toppy-ness, for want of a better technical description.

It's only 3" deep how can it be heavy? ... and it's a tank-top not a tea-cosy!

NV610?

you still have not answered my original Q. Whats the full rig? I dont know heaps about GK but I know they have a bi-amp facility on some gear. If you have been using a GK combo with bi-amp and you have been putting the bass through the tweeter of the Accugrove cos you have used the wrong cable its gonna sound sh*t!

I certainly haven't used the Accugroove as an extention cab to the GK combo, a never intended to either. no biamp facility on the MB150, i think just on their large amp heads?

ok, current amp is Demeter VTBP-201s pre or Trace V-Type pre into a Trace Elliot PPA300 power amp, which has two channels, but not bridgeable, hence my preferred 2 cab solution.

Did not think it was likely to be honest but you never know.

I think I would be inclined towards the Agi 1x12 solution. There are a couple of GS112 in for sale.

You should be able to get pretty much any sound from your Accugroove, that's why they're so great...there's no real EQ built into them.

The Demeter will give you a nice tube sound, the Trace poweramp shouldn't really give you anything.
