Advice on what would be a better stand alone 4/10 cab

Sign in to disble this ad
YouTube - ‪THE GRIM - SUICIDE‬‏
Ok I use a genz benz and a avatar4/10 at 4 ohms. Im asking for your advice so I can get a better cab to match this kind of tone im getting. I use a 92 stingray with a nordstrand pickup.
So tell me what cab you think would improve this.

Thanks...........ok there is also another video where the bass is easier to hear.

I went from Eden cabs to two Avatar Neo 210 cabinets that I stack as a vertical 410...
Haven't regretted the change for a single second!

My vote for a "better stand-alone 410"...
Two 210's stacked as a vertical 410.

Just asking what cab would fit the style. The polls don't work for me.

If you want the exact tone he has... get exactly what he uses.
Of the variables, the cab has the least to do with tone if you are using the same config he does... 410s or 215s, etc.

You will most likely never duplicate his tone exactly, anyway. You have to know what strings he uses as well as what preamp he uses in his bass,what are his settings on his bass, his amps tone/EQ settings, pedal effects, ... etc.

OR, just spend a several hours adjusting your amp's settings & your bass' EQ/vol settings. If your cab has an adjustable horn, you''ll be playing with that, too.

I think it's a question only YOU can answer, as subjective as it all is.

I would probably try a 410 GB Uber or 210 GB Uber cab. From people who use GB I know they match the head really well. As others have said it comes down to what sound works for you. I personally do not care for Eden Cabs.

4x10s are awful designs. No reason to use one unless you can't afford something better.

Try an Uber 1288.

BS- had the 1288 and sold it. I prefer the Uber 410 much better. Two 1288's would kill of course.

Well that's your ears, not meaning to be confrontational, but even BFM says 410's are a horrible design. Cheers.
