What cab should I get?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey everyone, i've nearly decided on my new rig but I just need to confirm my cab... Here is some info...
*I play a EBMM Stingray frequently.
*I will be playing it through a GK 1001RB II.
*I want a tone that brings out the best of my stingray (punchy slap tone, clean finger-style groove).

The sizes of cab's i'm after would be around the 2x12 or 4x10 range. I've considered looking into Epifani, Hartke, Bergantino, GK and few others. Really unsure on what to go for since I don't have a lot of experienced shopping for cabs.

Hope someone can help me out

Thanks.

With the GK 1001 I'd go with GK cabs. They can be as bright and present as you'll ever need yet still capable of warm and bass like sounds. I liked the GK cabs when I played a Stingray, but Epifani and Bergantino weren't available then.

For easiest portability and the ability to scale down for small rooms and rehearsing I'd get a pair of the new neo 1x12 cab. With both cabs you'll get the full power out of the amp and be capable of some very loud and clean sounds, yet still have a rig that's easy to transport and looks great.

That's just me and the opinion of many of the GK lovers out there. Epifani and Bergantino lovers abound also and you'll hear about their virtues soon too I expect.
