610 recommendstions

Ampeg and Fender?
"Cats and dogs living in sin."

Make your Bassman happy, get the Fender 610.

 

I would buy a Barefaced Six10 if I where you, or a Four10 and a Two10 to make a modular rig. Killer!

 

SWR Goliath Sr. if you don't mind it being a bit on the heavy side.

Tonewise I think it's exactly what you're looking for and can be had for around $500.

...oh, and loud as hell

 

Modular rig means 410 4 ohm and 210 8 ohm cabs to get even power distribution to each 210 pairs and head needs to be capable of 2,7ohm load. Not all can and Bassman 800 cannot.

Edit: Barefaced seems to be 8 ohm and 4/12 ohm switchable so it shoud work reasonably well being 4,8 ohm average.

 

Have only heard good things about the Bassman 610.

Bergantino NV610 is a beauty.

So is two Bassman Pro Neo 115s

 

Using multiple 10CR cabs

 

Yes I understand and does not change anything I already said. Modular 610 does not have even power distribution but probably works well enough, 210 just gets bit more power than each pair of 210 in 410 cab. 16 ohm 210 would be ideal with 410 8ohm cab.

 

For 6x10s I absolutely loved my Epifani UL610 series 2, that was an absolutely amazing cabinet!
I currently have a Bergantino NV610 that is equally great, heavier, but slimmer front to back so I can lay it down in my small pickup truck and put the back cover over the bed, which is sadly why I had to let go of the Epifani
It doesn’t say where you’re located if you were interested in those Bassman neo 115s I have them, along with my Super Bassman (the whole rig pictured actually) in the classifieds!

 

Eden made a really good (but really heavy) sounding durable 610, but the are not in business any more.

If you are open to something else other than a 610 can, DNA makes a 210 cabs and 2 of those will give you pretty much the same output as some 610 cabs.

Here is the specs for one DNA 210 cab:

Sounds like an Ampeg 610 would be a good fit, though they are so so soooo heavy.

I would normally vote for the Barefaced 610, but unless you get the newer version with the tweeter, the non-tweeter version might not get you the highs that you need to cut through. Don't get me wrong, the BF 610 is an amazing cab (I used to own one), but the Ampeg 610HLF is a good option.

If cost is not an issue, this is the lightest 610 in the world, and I think also the most efficient:

AT 610 – GRBass

Power: 1200W RMS (AES Standard)
Weight: 17,5 Kg - 38,5 lbs
Frequency response: 35Hz to 22 kHz
Sensitivity: 106 dB SPL
Impedance: 4 or 8 ohm (order separately)
Tweeter: 3 positions switch

 

I'd like to know why you think a 6x10 is what you want/need.

Personally, I would either just get a second 4x10 cab to match the one you have (to create a modular 8x10), or a second 1x15 cab to match the one you have -- the former if you need more volume and the latter if that would be adequate.

I'll just add that IMO if the latter wouldn't be adequate your band is too loud.

 

Genz Benz neo610 and Lab Systems 610 (if you can find one) are the only ones I've tried and liked both of them.

 

I own a Bergantino NV610 and recommend this cabinet.

 

Lots of warnings about weight... I have a hard time imagining that somebody who's schlepped a 410 around, and is asking about 6x10s hasn't considered that a they are big and heavy. Some people just like big cabs - myself included.
My Bassman 610 has been great. A little scooped compared to my 2x15, but that's what lots of speakers will often get you.

 

First of all, WELCOME to Talkbass, the biggest bass nerds around.
Really ??? @Thundar ...
SWR Goliath 610 is THE best cab ever made. 100w rms @4ohms.

 

The Bergantino NV610 if you can find one will give you the tone you want the Bassman Neo 610 has more of a vintage vibe It is not all lows but not as defined as the Berg. The Berg sounds like a 610 version of the Ampeg
