Hello to all of you,
as a new member here and very happy owner of a MkV head I am aware that there have been many discussions about which cab to match, but could not find any specific answers to my situation (please apologize if I have overlooked them and kindly point me in the right direction if this was the case):
I currently have to be able to simultaneously serve a top-40 combo, a modern Texas blues band and a funk/fusion sextet. Until now - as all of these rehearsed in the same building - I was able to just "roll in" with my head and a pre-rectifier 4x12. Now two of the bands have moved to other places and I will not only need to move the rig to venues but also several times a week to rehearsals. And - frankly - I am just tired of lifting this hugely heavy beast of a cab around.
Now the question to all of you more experienced users is the following:
As I need both a most mobile and very flexible cab, which would you recommend? 3/4 1x12? 3/4 2x12? Any other?
Please bear in mind that I do not need any type of "metal" sounds beyond old-school Metallica (and I would be willing to compromise on that even to a degree), and also know that both floor space on the stages I play is very limited and at about 50-60% of all gigs I will be miked up anyway, so projection is less an issue (personal and stage monitor functions much more).
Thanks very much for your thoughts and insights,
Peter
