The local SA that puts the gun to my head to make me buy stuff from them, usually has some in stock. Wednesday I may take the HD210 along for the ride to SA. I may even ware my kevlar Fender ball cap too, just incase they get out their big gun!
Yes, I do like Eminence speakers.

So you don't even want to bother running the Bassman with the Hartke then?

They have a HD210 on the floor. Or I can compare using my HD210 when I bring it in. I haven't ruled out a 115 cab at this point either.

Yeah, if you have the chance, hook everything up, and then you'll know for sure, and not wind up second guessing yourself when you get home. It's probably not the most optimal situation, being in a music store, compared to where you're going to be, but better than nothing.

I'm leaning toward the Bassman 410 Neo cab at this time anyway.

You want to go for the top model, then? Might as well, if you can swing it. Although, the Rumble ain't a half bad cab. I'm sure that one has some nicer features, though.

I do like the Compression driver horn with the attenuator. The feature that I think I like the most of the Bassman cab, is the Eminence U.S.A. Neodymium 10's. I've always been a sucker for speakers.

Yeah, I imagine those are nice speakers. I have no clue what they load in the Rumble variant, other than I'm pretty sure that they are Eminence, as well. I think I did read that somewhere, too.

Rumble cabs have Eminence ceramic magnet speakers. I think that's what most non Eminence NEO speaker's magnets are. The Ampeg cabs only a small number that are NEO, and the rest in all probability are ceramics as well.

It's interesting that they probably have the same exact speakers in them, but I wonder how much sonically different the Fender and Ampeg cabs would be to each other? Of course, there'e other variables to them, like the way they are constructed, porting, wood density, etc. I suppose I'd get an Ampeg cab mainly for matching aesthetics, but that's money I don't have, and I wouldn't bother trying to sell the Fender over it. It wouldn't be worth it, and I've never seen an Ampeg cheap enough, with the same specs, that I could even attempt to. You know I just realized something, I'll now have owned two Ampeg heads in my playing career, but I've never owned an Ampeg cab. When I had the other head, I had Carvin cabs, which I also had when I got the Orange.

I've had two SVT-410HLF (Classic Series), one SVT-410HLF (Heritage Series), and two SVT-212AV (Classic Series). I like the cab design in SVT-410HLF. The three front sound ports allow the air to escape, and not to rumble around in the cab. The back of the cab having the expanded panel works like the 360 Acoustic cab did.

Yeah, when I think of that design, you also have to be mindful of having the cab against a wall somewhere. That might effect that, if the ports are in the back. There's a lot of instances where your cab will be against a wall, too.

The three ports are in the front, below the speakers.

Yeah, I can see those in the pick. The funny thing about those it makes the cab look like it means serious business, which I'm sure it does.
