In the market for a new light weight bass cabinet

Sign in to disble this ad
As the title says. I won't be getting this until Jan. most likely but I need something light weight that I can carry up the 6 flights of stairs to get to my rehearsal spot. Prefer the 2x10, 2x12, and 1x15 combinations. Might also consider the right 4x10.

I'm hoping to get this used and my budget is going to be roughly $500. I play country and motown music (thumpity thump thump) funk (burpity burp burp) and punk (brightity punchity grindity?) so I'm looking for a reasonably versatile cab. I don't need massive amounts of low end since I usually dial back the lows anyway. The lighter the cabinet weighs the better.

My gigging rig currently is a Markabss LMII and a bunch of P-basses. Sometimes its a jazz bass. Sometimes its a decade. My main cabinet is an Ampeg SVT115EN that I love. However I don't want to carry it around anymore.

Have you looked at the Avatar Neo series? I have the 210 and 410, they're pretty easy to carry. And I have a really bad back. They make all of the combo's you're interested in. Sound terrific and really let me cover a lot of ground.

My old guitarist has an old avatar 4x10. I guess if I order new I can get a really obnoxious color.
