I like the Wizzy-M just fine for slab. I have a pair for loud gigs, but one seems kick really well for most. I enjoy the added depth it gives my very punchy Music Man Sterling. Ofcourse there's no substitute for mass.
I've tried much heavier rigs w/ multiple speakers that give the BG more heft to the sound, but for a 33 pound speaker? it's great. I think the BG even sounded better w/ the M when I used my Walter Woods instead of the Focus. It sounded like a much bigger cab than it is. How's that for hurling, Phil?

My one criticism w/ BG may be that the speaker seems to sound a little dry w/ pops and slaps. It's almost like while the wizzer plays the hi's the woofer takes a break on the lows. Maybe it can't transmit the crispiest hi's and lows at the same time? A good test might be to play a keyboard thru it and play at the extreme hi end and low end of the keyboard at the same time.

Quite honestly, I've only briefly tried the Wizzy M at home with the BG. It didn't sound quite right to me, but it wasn't a very realistic test. The original Wizzy E has quite a bit of midrange warmth and sounds kind of vintage, almost like an old Ampeg but with it own unique character. Since I'm an old-school electric bass player, I tend to go for that kind of sound. The Wizzy M is more open and Hi-Fi sounding (and is less colored) and probably would be terrific for a modern type BG sound. The Wizzy M definitely sounds wonderful for the DB.
