Cabs

Sign in to disble this ad
Being that I asked this question before, Ive limited my selection and have a done alot of research. Days of listening, well to the ones I can find clips for, reading reviews, searching this forum etc... My Peavey cab I have now distorts at med to higher volumes and the horn is blown (410).
I use a fair amount of mids, I set an SVT III PRO up with mids and bass @ 12:00 and treble at 3-4:00 for slap and I have the slider EQ set up for a fat, treble cut rock sound. Im looking at these cabs...

Aguilar DB 410... Im concerned with the opinion that it has a mid hump and I already use a good amount of mids in my eqing.

Epifani UL 410... pristine clean is what I keep hearing but is it so uncoloured that is sterile sounding?

Schroeder 410R... Heard some slap clips and it sounds good, but seems to be lacking bottom end thump, a little to hi-fi also. Was it the eq on the amp or does the cab overall sound like this.

I use a Fender AM jazz and a MM sting ray. I play mostly slap or finger style... I prefer the sound of older slap artist to the new modern sounding stuff. Ive listened alot and read more on this site, figured out what I like and am looking for. I think my head will get me there, if I go with a better cab plus a cab at 4 ohms.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated I know this is a redundant subject, especially with me, but this is what I have it narrowed down to and I think these would go good with most heads, rather than going for a GK, mesa, or ampeg cab, just in case I do switch heads in the future.

thanks alot for all the info, as I research stuff to a point of OCD (been like this forever, took me 7 months to choose between a .45 acp and 9 MM even after shooting both.)

Can someone clarify my concerns with these cabs or offer a comparison between 2 or 3.......

If these companies would put up clips, beside shroeder, it sure would be nice, the closest place to me to try these out is 2 hours away and being that I have MRSA i was told to not really leave the house much till its over........ so Im just wondering

I have no experience with those cabs, so I'm sorry to say I can't contribute. Maybe if you were a bit more descriptive in your thread title you might get some more input.

Come on, people. This thread's been sinking for more than 2 days, and not a single one of us has even responded. That kinda sucks.

Good luck, bacehead.

Im leaning toward shcroeder 410 or 21012..being that I use a 412 guitar cab and a marshall 1959 slp in option to my ampeg and 410 ... Im kinda weary of getting the 21012.
thanks for the reply BBEgo

I still havent ruled out the Aguilar DB410 tho.

well I had the opportunity to play through the small markbass head and a 112 markbass cab, I have to say I was impressed with that little set up, plenty if vol and good thump and treble although could get a little hissy with the treb wide open.

Still am looking to play the Schroeder 410 and 21012 aguilar db 410 or maybe a 112 + 210

I used to use a DB412 and the DB series honks in the mids. I'd look at the GS 410 if I were you.
