The Avatar 212 is the perfect cabinet for my purposes. I am a freelance musician in the Dallas/Ft Worth area(25 years) and have used a variety of equipment over the years. Although the cabinet is a bit heavy, it is managable(even for old guys like me) and nothing that can't be handled with a good dolly. Strap it on a dolly and roll it in, no problem.

Now for the really important stuff. The sound! Terrific! I am running an SWR 4004 through it with a variety of basses. Carvin XB76, J and P basses (active and passive) and it gets ALL the sounds that I could ever need or want. It has all the sound, punch, and clarity that you will ever want for a wide variety of playing styles. I like the idea of two 12's for versatility. Warmth like a 15, but with more definition and punch like 2 10's. If you don't feel a need for an entire room full of cabinets I feel the 212 is the way to go. I also have a Gallien Krueger 200MB for really small venues. Great light little amp, but not always enough. The 212 is always enough for my needs.

Check out the Avatar. Great product, great price, and GREAT service.
