GAS'n for a new cab?

Sign in to disble this ad
Well sold off one of my basses....selling some other stuff too and was thinking about a new cab. For about a yr and a 1/2 now I have been using a 2x15 I built. It sounds and looks great even with all the gigs and abuse its been through....but looking for a bit of a tighter sound....playing mostly heavy rock and using an Ampeg SVT-3 Pro. I love the growl I get out of the Ampeg but think it could be tightened up with some 10's. I have the room to transport a bigger cab....and don't mind lugging it around.

So anyway I came across a Harkte 8x10 cab used for $350. I like the sound of the 8x10's I have heard so far....but most have been Ampeg cabs.

Anyone have experience with the Hartke VX810 (paper cones)? Is it worth the $350 or should I just hold off some day and get an Ampeg (won't have that type of cash for some time yet)?

Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks much!

I have a SVt-4pro with (2) 810E cabs, Just got the 2nd cab.
I am running both in stereo. This set-up is not for most and it adds up fast $$$. One 810E Ampeg cab wiil be fine for you. shop around for a used 810E (I prefer new), they are always up for sale .
