cab advice

So I know about the basic stuff about pairing amps and cabs, but I am in a dilema and since this is my first head-cab setup I would need some opinions from someone more experienced. Until now, i had TE combo with 65W which was good for home use but now I joined a band so i am looking for...

Hey everyone, first time poster here 👋 I hope someone more knowledgeable and wise than me can help me with a suggestion. Long story short: I have a GK MB210 combo first series MB 210 Specs — Gallien-Krueger, and I'd like to buy a new cabinet to link through the external connector. In this way...

Hi there... I'm looking for suggestions for a 2x10 8 ohm cab (preferably neo) to use with the Gallien Krueger 800RB's 8 ohm 100w amp. I'm currently using a 4x10 4 ohm neo Avatar cabinet with the 800RB's 4 ohm 300 watt amp, and am looking for a 2x10 to pair with it. I'd most likely be using the...

I have been using an AG 700 with Aguilar SL 112 for quite a while, but my ears grew tired of the baked-in mid oriented sound of SL 112. I'm looking for a modern sounding cab primarily for home use, where a 5 string StingRay / L-2500 / Sadowsky Modern would shine with a solid low end and biting...

I’m putting together a new, light/portable bass rig for small to medium rooms. It’s been a while since I played bass in a band, and I’d like to do it right, but not heavy. I’m going to be running a Jad Freer Capo into (the line input of) a Quilter BB800. Small board, comp, T16, HX Stomp...

I'm looking for advice on cabs to run from my Rumble 800 head. I'm currently running Rumble 115 and 210 cabs from the head and love the sound. But, as I'm getting older - now 70 - and with a bad back, I'm finding the cab rather heavy to lug about. They're approx 39 lbs (17.7kg) each. I want to...

Just wondering what everybody thinks about a rig like that. The Tone Hammer 500 is rated for 500W @ 4 ohms and 250W @ 8 ohms. If I were to run into two Fender rumble 4x10 cabinets rated at 8 ohms, what type of tonal capabilities will I be sacrificing or gaining? Some context: I play in a...

Hey folks! Looking for a smaller and lighter 210 setup for some of the smaller gigs that I play! I play bass in a moderately guitar heavy 5 piece rock group - standard EADG with some drop D and 1/2 step. For reference I have a "big show" setup with a Fender Super Bassman 300 and Fender Pro Neo...

So I, like many of you, have gone through the gamut when it comes to cabs. TL;DR: buy a barefaced 210s, quilter bass dock, or turn my failing KRK monitor sub into a 1x10? Started with a peavey 210tx combo which paid my way through school and was plenty fine for 14years of my time as a...

I am looking to buy an amp and cab to pair with a Nash PB-63. I have been running a Fender Rumble 500 combo for a while, and it produces enough volume for my purposes. However, I recently got to run through Hartke HD410 speakers (w/ Darkglass Microtubes Head), and unfortunately for my wallet, I...

I mainly play deathcore and I'm planning on getting a Darkglass amp. From what I've seen on their website, it comes in 1x12, 2x10, 2x12, and 4x10. What's a good size?

Love this cab and got it for an absolute steal used for $350. However, it is absurdly heavy and I need something with a bit more headroom. My back isn't what it used to be and I'd love a new modern neo cab but my wallet wouldn't. The used market for neo cabs is also pretty bare as well. I know...

Hi all, I recently misplaced my Speakon cable that attaches to the Elf head. I bought a Speakon to 1/4 jack cable thinking that all Speakon adapters would be the same. But alas, it didn't fit. Could anyone on here tell me if there is a specific Speakon adapter that will fit in the speaker cab? I...

Hi! I have an Orange Terror Bass head (one of the newer ones), and I'm looking to get a cab that's going to get the most volume out of it. Need it for a *loud* rock band, two guitars, lots of fuzz, hard hitting drummer (think Dino Jr, JAMC, Sugar kinda stuff). We tour pretty often so I'm...

Have been toying with the idea of running two amps (ie dirty and clean) but logistics, costs etc has prevented this this far. However I have a chance to pick up a cheap 4x10 cab. Two of the speakers have been removed already (hence the cheap price). I have a 2x10 already so figured I could...

Hello everyone! This is my first time on this forum but it seems like the source of many answers for my many questions. So right now I'm using a Fender 25, but as my band starts getting booked for bigger gigs, it is no longer cutting it. I'm looking to get an amp and cab that will suit the...

Hello there, I am looking to pickup my first "real" cab. I am currently looking at the ultralight carbon fiber cabinets from GRBass and have difficulty deciding if I should get the 112 vs 2x8 Vertical. The specs, weight, frequency response and price is all very similar for both cabs...I am...

I was wondering if anybody can help me by seeing if im safe running my acoustic b300h head (300 watts solid state) into my sunn beta bass 100 watt 2x15. I also run a fuzz pedal (hoof reaper), belle epoch deluxe, and a pigtronix resotron envelope filter. I also hope to run an mxr vintage octave...

Here is my conundrum: the speaker in my EA Whizzy 110 is blown. It is distorting heavily and has a terrible ground hum. I’m assuming I’ll need to replace the speaker. I could order one from Gollihur for just shy of $300 CAD. It’s a great speaker for DB but I’m playing more EB these days and it’s...

Hello all, I have purchased myself a Mesa TT-800, and looking to upgrade the cabs I've been using as my Ashdown 210 and 115 will be sold with their matching CTM30 head (if anyone is interested lmk), but I am having a hard time finding a music store with the selection to play before I buy. I...

Hello there fellow bass players! I'm having trouble figuring out when my ampeg amp and cabinets where made. Any kind soul wanna help me out? I'm posting pics of the serial number beneath. sorry for my bad English, Swedish person here heh..

Hi y'all, I'm currently looking for a suitable head for my 500w Ampeg SVT410 HLF. I've been using an Eden WT-400 "The Traveler" World Tour head for several years now and it's getting a little old. Seems like I have to take it in to get repairs every couple of months and it's becoming a hassle...

Ok, well this is the way I am going. I'm getting this head HeadBehringer Ultrabass BX4500H Bass Amp Head. Now I want to know if these cabinets will work with the head and what will my output be for each. This has an *ohm impedance Behringer Ultrabass BA210 500W Bass Cabinet. Now I'm considering...

Ok so, i have this crazy idea that i want to see if it’s possible. Basically i want to get a new bass head (like an old 70s svt, b-25, or a v-4b) and when looking for cabs i stumbled across the ampeg iso vent cab. Its a set of 2 10s on top and in the bottom 2 15s facing each other, very unique...

I play bass guitar, a drum machine and other weirdness through one pedalboard. Having power and fidelity in the very low and high is important. I love my Genzler Magellan 800 head, but I need a new cab. Sadly, I cannot get to a decent music store to try things out. Budget is ~500 €, otherwise...

Hello everyone, I have a goal to build a smaller bass cab and have found a driver that looks promising. The B & C 12BG76-8. The speaker has a listed FR of 45-1000hz, which to me looks more for a sub. But the datasheet says this would be good for a high power 2-way system. Anyways, I modeled...

I’ve recently started playing bass in a hard rock/stoner metal band, and I’m currently using an old Peavey bass mark 3 amp with a Hartke 4x10 cab. The cab is pretty beat up with blown speakers so I’m looking for a replacement, ideally under 800$. I’m considering a 4x12 cab for the heavier sound...

Hi everyone, I am primarily an upright bassist, but recently most of my work has been through electric bass. In an effort to try and dial in my sound, I have owned about 10 bass guitars in the past 3-4 years. I'm down to owning 6 now. My two favorites, are a road worn jazz and Nash pb62 ( Though...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new cab for my GK 700 RBII. Because they're discontinued and I have no car, I have no possibilty to play the amp with the cabs in the nearby shops. The only cab I ever played with that amp was a Markbass 104HR, which I quite liked. So, what are your favourite...

I recently bought the amp my bassist for my main band and I have coveted for nearly a year now, the acclaimed DG Alpha Omega 900... When it came, I set it up clean and ran it through my Ampeg 410HE (500W/1000W max, 8 ohm) and though I saw the speakers light up from being driven, there was no...

Hi there! For some time I was using at home my Warwick BC80 combo which was quite nice in overall. After some time I started some music activities for local youths at our town community centre. Unfortunately Warwick BC80 can't get though drums or guitars so I need to change it for something...

Hi guys, I literally made this account just to ask about this. Haha. So, for a while I’ve been seeing this cab fly in and out of stock. On paper, it looks amazing; It might be a good portable cab to take by itself, or pair up with my Ampeg 410HE (500w, 8ohm) to bring the full power out of my...

I'm looking to buy another subway cab to pair with my 1x15 and WD800 and would like advice on adding another Subway cab. My new band will be playing out soon and I won't have PA support at all venues, and so I can leave 1 cab at our drummer's house for practice. We are a rock/pop/classic rock...

Looking for a manageable & fairly tonally flexible cab & there's a used Epifani DIST UL210 local that I'm considering bringing home w/ me. I'm mostly into the old school sounds (B15/SVT type stuff) but ideally I'd like for this cab to work well enough for a range of sounds plugging in either...
