A much less-refined but still effective option would be the Carvin LS1503 PA cab. Or, if you don't mind schlepping a hundred pounds, its larger brother, the LS1523. |

Between the Conklin, the Lightwave, and the Wish fretless, the differences are marked and remarkable. Certainly much, much different than any other cab I've used. |

|  | bassist for staind | | | | | +1 jimmy. i dont think they exist. i could prove it with a 31 band real time audio analyzer. you would need to go with higher end stuff and not use typical bass cab drivers. more like pro pa gear. johnny a. |

| | | | i realize nothing will ever be 100% without color. im just looking for something with a less colored sound like a flatish response PA system |

Instead of a mid driver, he uses a waveguide-loaded compression driver crossed over below 2 kHz to match the dispersion of the woofer but prevent it from narrowing above. You might want to check out what people have been saying in the Audiokinesis thread.
edit: Barefaced could be an option as well, depending where you are.

While you are right, any cab will be colored, I think a fEARful will fulfill his desire for a cab with "little" coloration.
Thanks Jimmy...I may even use that as my new sig...
fEARful...that's about as good as it gets.

Let's turn the question around: what speaker enclosures impart too much character?

Walk over to the PA/FOH part of the store to find the most transparent cabinets.
