New Cab - Help w/ A Decision

dubstylee · #1 05-28-2010, 09:43 AM

Whats up TB'ers. It's time for a new cab now that I sold my Ampeg BA115. I have three amps, a Markbass LMIII, a Peavey VB-2, and an Ampeg V4. I already have an Ampeg 410HLF and a V4 4x12 so I'm looking for either a 2x10 or a 1x12 for practice and rehearsal.

Please share recommendations. I need to keep within a budget. I like a vintage sound but with plenty of mid punch! I play a P-bass strung with Chromes.

I was looking at the GK 112-II Neo, users share experiences. I was also looking at the Epifani PS112 and Avatar SB112. Lastly I was looking at the Ampeg AV210. Thanks everyone.

Man! come on people, I always share my input when it's needed. Throw me a bone here! Major input needed

Well, I'm breaking it down to the 112 cabs, has anyone used any of the 112 cabs above?

I just picked up an Aguilar GS210. It sounds great (to me). I think it has the mid punch you want.

OTOH, if it's just for practice and rehearsal, why not go for something really light, like the Markbass 210? The Traveler 102P? Only 33 lbs...

I have owned dozens of cabs and I am very impressed with Avatar SB112 neos, the new ones with the longer excursion. One of my basses is tuned Bb Eb Ab Db, and the Sb112 does a great job.

Thanks for the input. I'm a little torn between the 210 & 112. Fact is, I like the sound of both 10's and 12's so . . . .. it's a little bit hard to make a decision. I have been looking at the Avatars, but I think I could get a GK 112-II Neo for cheaper through RMC. Can anyone compare the two?

I like the 1X15 and 2x10 configuration and leave the 1X15 at home for practices.

I like my Schroeder 112 for punch. Lightweight, small company where the owner answers the phone. Even a 1212 or 1210 would be fun...

The Schroeders I have looked at, but I am on a budget and I believe they don't fall within it. A used Ampeg SVT 115 or a GK 112-II Neo are getting my attention right now. I'll just have to go play them and see. I'm sure the GK will have just the right amount of punch though.
