Punchy mid-range and solid bass overtones

Love the fact that this cab has such a clear ring to it. There are no other bass cabs like it -- whatever amp you use in there will ring clear. Somehow, there's a depth to the sound that gets added in there when I play. I enjoy a fair amount of bass in my sound, but to have it ring clearly, you need low-mids and high-mids to be properly adjusted. With this cab, the speakers are absolutely flawless and bring out all the harmonic content, as well as controls the bottom end and doesn't let it spill over everything else. You can certainly crank up the bass content, but you won't be able to muddy up your sound. It stays well-rounded and always remains clear, which is why I would not play with any other kind of cab.

Much like his bandmate, Bernardini plays through Boogie amps. Two Mesa/Boogie Big Block 750 heads drive a pair of Mesa/Boogie PowerHouse 4x12 cabinets. He has painted the latter to give them an ashy, white washed patina.

"While some of her rig has evolved since the Prince days, core pieces remain while new pieces have been incorporated to include some of Mesa's latest and refining Rhonda's tonal preferences for the Jeff Beck gig. 2x15's were the cab-du-jour for many years with Prince but Rhonda is now leaning on Mesa Powerhouse 2x12 and 4x10 both powered by her faithful M-Pulse600. The Slave out on the M-Pulse600 is then run to the Big Block 750 driving the second Powerhouse 2x12 for added punch and reinforcement on the big rock stage. The M9 was tried late in reherasals and worked well but in the end, the already established rig with M-Pulse 600 and Big Block 750 won the spot until more time is available to incorporate the M9 Carbine full time. By all accounts, the bass on the Jeff Beck stage is well heard!"
