OK, I have been holding off for a while to put this review in. I wanted to make sure -also I don't have time for reviews and such. However, this cab deservs some time. I have been playing for 20 years and have had tons of different equipment - peavey, swr, eden, ampeg, acme etc.... This little light 210 is the most kick ass cabinet I have ever owned. I play in a r&b/funk/groove band that plays sort of loud at times. I play lots of different ways - muted thumb, finger, slap and I am very picky about my tone. If i am slapping i want the full bottom, a little mid so it will carry and crisp glassy highs. If i play finger style i want a punchy warm, clean defined sound etc....... Always -I have had to sacrifice one for another with different equipment. Currently I use an SWR SM400s ,a hotrodded 62 jazz bass reissue (aguilar preamp onboard) and this one dr bass 210 cab. This little 4 ohm cab will take the full cranked 250 watts of the swr and cut through everything (although the ideal set up should be another 210 or 15). Crisp highs, Tight punchy clear mids, and enough low end to suffice by itself. I can switch from thumb to finger with just an adjustment of my bass eq on the jazz bass and sound excellent at both settings. I know that my playing style , the amp and the bass have to do with the tone, but I have tried 4 different cabs with this exact set up--- the dr bass is the only one that gives it ALL to me. Try one you won't be disappointed!
