cab settup

[mcullen]

im trying to keep my budget low (under $1000) so i was wondering what would work best for what. i dont have a whole lot of experience with playing live, but im looking for something that will last me a while.
im thinking either: 410; 410+115; or a 610

can anyone help me

what of venues you are looking at playing or what type of music are you doing?

For that kinda of $ I would go with an Ampeg 810... hard to go wrong with that imo...

yea i was gonna say either the ampeg 610 or 810. 610 if you like vented enclosures and 810 if you like sealed enclosures.

I'd suggest Avatar cabinets.
www.avatarspeakers.com
$1000.00 dollars will buy alot of speaker value from Avatar.
I just recently went with two Avatar 210 Neo cabs and couldn't be happier!
They use a proven cabinet design, their very well built, with the same speakers and horns that are used in the high dollar, brand name cabinets...and...their priced well below all the "high-dollar" cabs on the market.
There are some cheaper cabs on the market, but they won't come near the value and quality Avatar can offer.

im thinking smaller gigs...... the bigest is prob. a small theater
my style is rock w/ a flea influence (eg. lots of slapping)
so far ive narrowed it down to:
fender 410 bassman (would this work for smaller theaters??)
fander 610 pro
and the ampeg 610 SVT-HLF

 

[Jaco who?]

You might want to mention what amp you're pairing this with.

 

[mcullen]

u mean the head?
im looking at the ampeg B2-RE

ive narrowed it down to the fender 610 and the ampeg 610 HLF

One 8 ohm Avatar Neo 410...$459.00 + $48.00 shipping....for medium/small theater gigs.
One 8 ohm Avatar Neo 210...$319.00 + $29.00 shipping....for pratice/small, low volume gigs.
Stack and use both for a 610 rig for large, loud rooms/outdoors gigs.

If the head your looking at puts out 450 watts @ 4 ohms do you really need a cab that can handle 1000?. Why not go with a GK Neo 4x10, its $600, 600 watts @ 4 ohms. Plus its a heck of alot lighter than a 610.

k so i should go with a 410 for small/med gigs if i get that head?

a 410 can get incredibly loud.


i currently play club size gigs with a single 15 and never go past halfmast on the volume.

I dont know what kind of music you play... but the day I got my Svt610 was the day I was wanting to get rid of it...imo

 

[Revvv]

an 810 will do anything. I played with just an 810 for a long time. The only problem is moving the thing upstairs.

 

[mcullen]

ok i think im gonna go with the GK neo 410 (it seems reliable, loud, and its cheaper than the ampeg)

thanks for all your help!
