Sign in to disble this ad
I'm on the market for a cabinet and I really wanted one that can do it all. I'm not looking for 210's, 410's but something somewhat like a 3-way or more speaker enclosure. That has consistent volume and tone throughout the range (i play 5's and 6's) and has a tweeter than can give 'glassy' but not harsh highs. To give an example I present to you: Schroeder "Superior Sound" Cabinets
But i'm looking for other alternatives. I don't want a refrigerator for a cabinet so let's keep this smaller than 810's or even 610's. Thank you guys so much for your time and responses

You could either make one yourself (which I did, and it was a lot of fun for me!), or you could have one made for you by one of the authorized builders listed on the fEARful site.
Good luck!

How about a price range? Affordable do-it-all is the avatar TB153, 15” 3-way cab. Raves all around for performance + value.
fEARFUL has a vertical 212 cab with 6” midrange/tweeter that looks killer. Not sure of the price though. It has a tilt-back handle and wheels on it so you can pull it while carrying your bass in the other hand and your microhead over-the-shoulder. One trip!

Duke's TC112 or TC115 would likely also do well for you, as would many of Jim Bergantino's cabs (his new HD212 might be the best option, if it sounds the way Jim tells me it will). |

Depending how loud you want it, etc. there are quite a few configurations, but they all sound the same (ie, LOUD and clear). A 1212/6/1 would be able to push out a LOT of volume and is still a manageable size. I have a 15/6/1 and know I will be happy with it for the foreseeable future!
The Avatar TB153 is worth a mention, too. Affordable, uses the same woofer as a fEARful, but slightly compromised design due to using an existing cab, not one designed specifically for that configuration.
If you can wait a little before deciding (I hope tombowlus doesn't mind me mentioning it), there will be an article on the fEARfuls in the next issue Bass Gear
