$500 for a cab. what do i look at?

Sign in to disble this ad
hi all

I have say $500 for a cab. Upright and electric. THis is the 95% of my work cab- theater, jazz, acoustic blending, pops orchestra stuff. My goal is to put this '95% of my work' cab on top of my 18" bag end cab for the big stuff.

I am not opposed to 112 or 210 in size, though smaller is quite acceptable. Don't need a tweeter, but want the cab to repond up to say 7kHz or better.

I have been looking at Low Down Sound LDS 2x8 cabs and Avatar too. I haven't heard them, though. THere's lots of stuff out there... Anybody have some advice for me?

thanks in advance...

Before I even read anything past upright I was going to say used Bag End D10B-D or D10BX-D. I stand by that after reading the rest. Perhaps the S-15X as an alternative? Or is that too big?

There's a fair chance that the new and probably smaller cab will be the weak link when coupled with the 18 though. I'd seriously consider the 210 with coax tweeter but they are 70 lbs.
