Finally found exactly what I was looking for:
For twelve years I hauled around an Eden 410XLT cab (98lbs)
and a Peavey Firebass 700 head (50+ lbs)
I quit playing about 2 1/2 years ago and part of the reason was getting tired of moving equipment.
Well I'm all fired up about playing bass again a recently added an American Standard Percision bass to go along with my American Standard Jazz and Ibanez ATK300.
I decided to find a light, compact rig that I could toss in the trunk of the car. From past experience I know that if you are playing in a venue any bigger than a shoe box you are going a have decent PA support so I was looking for something to give me a good DI out and enough power for a medium sized cab. I ended up buying and Eden ENX260 amp (3.5lbs) but was having trouble deciding on a singe cab to go with it. The Eden only puts out 180watts at 8 ohms..... 260 at 4 ohms. I tried a Traynor TC210 2x10 cab which had a decent sound that was a little reminiscent of the Eden 410XLT I had (the sound of 10's I guess). I was able to get a nice sound dialed in using my ATK300 (3 band EQ). But when I plugged the P-Bass in it just didn't had the vintage bottom end thump that I was looking for.
I decided that I need a 1x15 box to get what I was after. The specs for the SVT-15E looked good and it's rated for 200watts which is a good match for the 180 watts at 8 ohms of the ENX260.
I gave it a try and it worked like a charm. Nice big, tight bottom thump from the P-Bass now. The Ampeg cab goes on the trunk of the car and must way a lot less than 72lbs. Feels similar to the Traynor 210 which is suppose to be 55lbs.
This is exactly what I wanted. I can easily lug this off to a jam session or practice and actually bring it back home when I done. And the tone is bang on what I wanted.
