- I use a 1936 2x12 cab -- really like it a lot. It's just about as heavy
- as anything I'd want to lug around, but it's reasonable. The other player
- in my band uses a 4x10 cab, and I like mine better :-) Course he likes his
- more than mine... I get a bit richer tone out of it I think, but of course
- you should hear for yourself. There was a discussion a few weeks ago about
- 4x10 vs 2x12, and I think the consensus was "it depends on which you think
- sounds better". Of course it also depends on your amp...
