Modulus Q5 owners...

casotti1 · #1 03-01-2013, 04:12 PM

Looking for a good combo to go with my Q5. Any suggestions from experience? Looking to spend no more than 3-400 that can handle the low B but can also perform in a small-medium gig. I am thinking something like the Ampeg BA series...
Thanks!

15% off right now gets you to your $400 upper limit.

I think a used Eden Metro would work well. I have a Q6 that sounds really good through a Traveller 330 and a D210XLT (this might be a good choice too). Might be a little out of your price range it also might be worth the extra investment.

Yup the Eden 2x10 Metro combo looks pretty sweet I must say..also wondering what would handle the B better whether it is a 15 or 2 10s.
Thanks

I love the pairing of Modulus basses with Eden gear. When I was using Q5s that's what was sweetest to my ears.

Eden or ampeg.

Eden and Modulus are one of those pairings that just work. That being said, I had a Metro and didn't love it. If I were you I'd grab a WT-300/400 or maybe one of the newer WTX micro heads and pair it with a small cab 115xlt, 112xlt, 210xst, ect. - that would be your best bet.

Thanks to all as I am leaning towards Amgeg or David Eden--Thanks

Another classic is the alembic f1x with a q5.

I use an Aguilar th500 with a genz benz NEOX212t. Sounds darn good, and it handles the low B like a champ.

Agreed.
I had a WT-800B with an Accugroove El Whappo Jr with my Q5 and was using that for a country cover gig. It was awesome hearing that for those 4 hour sets we were doing.

Amazing rig.
