Good not great cabinet, i found that it couldnt handle enough power. The pop out caster is a good feature but overall not a great cabinet, i got it used for $200 and i didnt really know what i was getting into.

I use a twin 9 volt emg pickup system on a six string bass and i found it could not handle the "low b" string very well, like i said above i only paid $200 for it so for $200 is a good cabinet

I have had this cabinet for about 3 years now and i have not had any issues with it breaking down or anything, i would not buy it again because i need a cabinet that can handle a "low b" string. If you are playing a four string then this cabinet is fine. i also need something that is a bit more power handleing, this cabinet is only 400watts rms and i need more than that. i power it with a Eden WT1205.

It has all the features one would expect from a bass cab. It can switch from full-range to bi-amp to go with the GK RB heads, which is pretty cool.
Comes with pop-out casters, too. Always good to have.

I used a Peavey Max 700 and Fender Geddy Lee Jazz through this cab. It's no louder than any other 410 cab... possibly a bit quieter than I expected, but still definitely gets by. I thought it was a little bit lacking in the low end. It's sealed, rather than ported, which probably explains it.

It's dependable for the most part, except the 1/4" input jack broke off for no particular reason. I unplugged my speaker cable one day and the washer and part of the jack came with it. They're made of some kind of plastic, which is kind of annoying, given the price of the cab.
The handles, also, seem to be a little bit flimsy. They're still holding up so far, but it seems like a matter of time before something uncool happens.
Otherwise, it has held up pretty well. functionally, it's been issue-free. The casters are nice and the carpet's held up about as well as can be expected from carpet.

I ended up replacing it with a Peavey 410TVX, which, while it is monstrously too big and heavy, sounds better with more volume, I think. Way more low end, especially. The GK wasn't bad... just kind of mediocre, over all.
The only thing that REALLY bothered me was the broken jack. That shouldn't happen on such an expensive cab! All of the construction seemed a little less than it should be for the price, in my opinion.
