Cab suggestions please!

I'm gonna have to suggest a Schroeder 1212 of some sort...or well...any Schroeder for that matter! Jorg is a awesome guy and well...THESE CABS FRICKEN ROCK!!!

for real though...i wouldnt trade my 1212L for anything...i can play ANY genre with this cab (and my LMII) and it sound fantastic.

 

You'd probably love the NV610, here's a bunch of info on this model:

I'll second the Schroeder idea, maybe something like a 21012L. Plenty enough. The NV610 is too much like what you already have, the Schroeders might change your mind entirely.

 

Check the sensitivity specs for the cab. A difference of 3dB is equivalent to double the amp power. One of the most sensitive (106db, [email protected] m), and IMO best sounding rock cabs is the Eden 410XLT.
(Compare with NV610: 102db; SVT-410HLF: 89dB)

 

+1... I have a buddy (TBer Matrok) who uses a 1212L with a Trace V-type head, and it just kills for that tone... growly, punchy, tight.

You might also consider one of the Vintage Markbass cabs. While some of the Markbass cabs get 'mixed reviews', these are held in high regard... neo for lightweight, sealed for that old school punch... I believe they make a 410 and 610 and 810 version. The cabs are called 'CL'... and they look cool also... not much yellow!

 

If you're talking clarity & attack with solid lows, then you really should try a 410XLT.

 

...and old school low efficiency. There's a good reason most cabs are bass reflex designs with tuned ports.

 

+1 The best rock cab I have by far - and loud, and cuts thru the mix like no other.

 

I love the Genz Uber410. It is a thick and precise sounding 410 without the mid bump that the 410XLT has. The XLT s a great cabinet but I never liked the mid bump.

 

a pair of 210XST's is another story...that slams

 

having a schroe cab w/ your already midrangey sound might be too much of a good thing, cause if there's one thing the schroe's are known for, its a midrangey sound!

the berg hs410 is an awesome cab, but it doesnt have a ton of low end, which you might need to balance out the more midrangey sound you go for.

but going with a 12" loaded cab is a great idea. the 12" will give you a nice bed to kick out that midrangey sound. how about a nice aguilar gs212? if you got the coin, an epifani ul212 has a bit more midrange in its sound, but still might be a good match for your midrangey tone.

 

If u wanted to stay with Ampeg SVT classic stuff, a couple of 115 cab's would be very portable and, those particular cab's are voiced very very midrangey, and don't have a tweeter. Not 'old school' like you would think; very punchy.
