I have a Mesa M-pulse 600 head and an American P-bass and I want a cab to use mainly for practicing in the house as well as playing super small venues or at band practice. I play mainly rock and blues. Not too hard so not a lot of slap bass or anything. I think a 210 would be a good compromise for size and volume. The GK 210BXL and the Hartke 210Xl both are similarly priced.
What are your recommendations or experiences with these cabs.
If the GK is the "backline" cab, most say they aren't that great. If the Hartke is the aluminum cone model, it's probably a little better but would be described as "bright". Just for practice or tiny gigs it probably doesn't matter, get whichever one is closer to a "plug-n-play" sound for you without a lot of knob twisting.
