Small/light combo? Or small/light 1x12 cabinet? Need a practice solution

Sign in to disble this ad
A little advice might be needed...

Im loving using my RH450 as a great sounding practice tool with headphones and an iPod. Obviously live is where it really shines.

I also have a MB LM3 which I can pair with cabinets.

Ive got a variety of cabinets....but....I need some sort of small practice combo or a small cabinet to use my amps with.

I was thinking about a Markbass combo, but there is little point, as I already have the LM3. Not only that, the best size is the 121P, but I dont really want a piezo tweeter.

The CMD121H seems a little on the large size. I may as well use one of my 2x10s.

The GB Shuttle combos are quite expensive, so im not sure about them.

I know the Walkabout is the king of combos, but its a little too large/heavy for what Im after. UK prices are also extreme!

So, do you think Im best trying to find a combo that suits me? Or, should I use one of my fantastic amp heads with a great 1x12?

If its a 1x12, it needs to be light, fairly loud, great tone, and a 'popular' choice so I can sell on if its not getting much use.

Ideas?

What brands are readily available locally?

Maybe one of those small BareFaced cabs would work with one of those heads. There's also the TC 210 combo (you could just get the cab without the head). The Markbass 121H gets really good reviews and at 34 lbs it isn't too big. Then there's the EA Wizzy 10 or 12 cabs.

I am thinking Markbass if Im honest, although ill consider others.

My mind keeps drifting to the NY122 though....Im trying to get something small but a 4ohm 2x12 Markbass slim cabinet with a horn seems brilliant. Its still a little too large but im guessing most the small cabinets Im thinking of I will have to expand on anyway.
