Cab recomendations shro berg?

[bassplayer48]

Hi Guys,
i'm after some advice i have been screwing around with differnt sounds now for the last few months. Currently i have a GK BL600 head, an Eden 212XLT and a Trace elliot 1x10 150 watt combo. After mucg mucking around i found running the combo on top of the 212 and slaving the amps together produces a great usable punchy sound. I am powering the 212 with the GK and using the Trace like a mid range cab. But of course this is a lot of gear to carry around.

So i am thinking of getting something more portable ie stand alone cab and the shroeder 1012 caught my eye as has the bergantino cabs. I am thinking of selling off the Eden and the trace and using the smaller cab with the GK. I play in a not too loud band playing country bluesy kind of stuff so don't need extreme volumes. I'm after a nice round punchy sound i found the eden to be too scooped on its own just gets lost in the mix.

So i'm thnking definately some kind of 10 combination Any recomendations?

Hi b48,

If you will be using the GK BL600 which I think is 300 watts into 4 ohms and you will be doing country - blues type music then I tnink the Bergantino HT210S in a 4 ohm cab may be a good option as a stand alone cab. Fairly loud and punchy and very articulate and musical sounding from the lows to mids through to the highs.

Other options that would suit your style of music and would be very versatile is the Bergantino Mini Stack HT112/EX112. You could use the one cab for smallish gigs, rehearsals and bring out the second cab when you would need that extra power and push. This is a very nice modular set up and does sound very punchy and articulate as well. Sounds a little more extended and fuller in the bottom end than the single 210 box but both are great choices.

The EA Wizzy 112 is also worth mentioning as it is extremely portable single cab option at just 12kgs and really is also suitable for country-bluesy style of music. Has a very nice vintage, warmth to the bottom end and mid range. Is described as the "Modern Flip-Top Sound". This comes as a 4 ohm cab which means you would be drawing the full 300 watts from your head.
Obviously, if you want a much bigger sounding rig and versatility at the same time then the Berg mini satck (HT112/EX112) would be the way to go. Otherwise the single cabs (Wizzy 112, HT210S) are equally as good as each other in different ways. The HT210S is a little more extended in the highs and more balanced in the mids than the Wizzy.

If you need more info send me an email or PM.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Thanks George,
i have read lots of threads on here about the bergies and the EA's not sure about 12's though i have been somewhat put off them by the Eden which sounds great when playing alone but doesn't cut it in a live situation. However i do realise that its all about the cab design. I noticed on your website the wizzy is rated at 200 watts just wondeirng if this would be enough? maybe the 210s are the way to go. But i think if i am using 1 cab i would go for a 4ohm.

Ive tried the schroeder 410 and it has a lot of mids and would cut through in a band situation as everyone sais. I guess i was just too used to the warm sound of eden compared to schroeder. A lot of people love EA stuff. There are soo many cabs out there. Today i tried a mark bass 210 cab, very light and portable. I guess it depends on what sound you are after. Being here in Australia it gets hard to try out all the different cabs due to availiability etc. In regards to schroeder vs bergantino id assume that the schroder will deliver mids and cut through whilst the berg will produce a warmer delivery. Unfortunately playing at home listening to eden sounds great but sometimes it may get lost in the mix whilst the schroeder from what ive read is opposite. It would be interesting to hear two of the the new mark bass 210p traveller cabs with either an eden head etc. Just my 2 cents

Thanks so what do you normally use yourself? your right its a bloody nightmare so many choices but from my experience so far with trying 12's and fifteens i think some kind of 10 config is the way to go. I used to always use 15's years ago as there wasn't much else around, my ear says 15's but in a live situation 10's seem to provide the cut through. I have noticed that Green Sqaure and Bass gear direct are offering 2 week trials on their stuff. Ie Shroeder, Ea and Berg
