Aftermath lacking low end?

[Contrition.Josh]

Well, there's your problem then. The cabinet really is one of the most important things to consider if you want low-end punch.

Soon, I'm gonna be playing over a rig that consists of a Mesa Oversized Recto 4x12, a Marshal JCM800 400W 4x12, and a Marshall 1152 2x15 bass cab.

Now THAT will produce punch.

Then again you donīt have to go that far, cause basecally no one besides you needs that much punch^^
But a good half stack (4x12") is kinda the minimum if you want real punch. Two propper 2x12" would work great too I think.

You're right. Mine is absolute overkill, but that's just to "fill in the blanks" since we have chosen to go without a bassplayer. A single, good quality 4x12 really is more than enough. If you want that "THUNK" I'd steer clear of the Marshall 1960 series though. I know the danish market is chock full of 'em, but they really aren't all that good.

Well what do you guys think of the Engl E412VG Pro Cab?

They're fine, definitely worth the money. A little too anonymous for me though. My favorites are still Orange, Mesa or Marshall 1982 cabs.

In other news, I just got a 4x12 SIZED cabinet yesterday. It's an old Marshall 1552, meaning it's a bass cabinet with two 15" speakers. It looks just like any other 4x12 guitar cab (speakers are mounted diagonally) except a good deal deeper. It is pretty much the greatest thing ever, and you should seriously consider running a bass cab along with a regular guitar cab if you want to make your bass player feel even more useless than he already is.

Mesa Thiele 1x12s are kinda the minimum size for serious punch. Of course, that restricts you to the evm12l speakerwise but I get more lows out of a pair of those than I did out of my old 4x12. A very undersized and often overlooked style of cab that can bring the thunder.
