02/06/26 - Uprising 212V (G12-65 Heritage + G12M-65 Creamback) - USA

This email is coming to you a LONG TIME in the FUTURE to this thread! I was looking through my email for something else and I realised back in 2024 I had sent you a long response to this thread but (probably on a lot of back medication back then, as I had that surgery) I noticed I had sent the email to my friend instead of you! I can't explain why I would have done that, other than meds at the time.

In summary,  the combination of the Mesa Mark VII and the low-cut switch on the back of this amazing, amazing cabinet was always the right combination for this amp.  It has been the most impressive performer and several of the professional musicians who have played at home home over the last two years are actually still talking about this today.  One of them is planning on buying this cabinet for gigs and for his music school,  though I know there are many more options now.

In other news, I've been rearranging my home studio and looking at my two bass cabinets (a babyface and a smaller one stacked on it),  big M9 Carbine head teetering precariously above, with a Subway D800 on top of that.  What doesn't look right about it is I should just buy more cabinets for my bass. I don't need them. I want them - who wouldn't? Your brand and engineering is in a realm of its own.

I'm trying to figure out how to mic the guitar cabinet here, with the two speakers vertically.  I'm thinking SM57 or Sennheiser dynamic + condenser up front and maybe a condenser in the room to pick up that sweet comb filtered reflection. Should I just mic the top or bottom or both?  If you have any time at all and can point me to a fast tip, I'd welcome it.

Thank you for the years and years of great enjoyment.

Cheers,
