Cab weight question

And 3x his budget, lol!
I have that and the matching Subway 210. Fantastic cabs, no doubt! But massive overkill and overspend based on OPs request.

Damn, man! Wishing you the very best recovery and many more years of playing.
Sorry
I forgot for a second, I've got my payments spread out over time. That's real money all at once. Plus I sold a B-15. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have it now or at all.
Thanks so much!! I'm doing well on the prosthetic. I'm walking, teaching in person, five gigs booked for my Allman Brothers tribute band
and will be getting a tennis prosthetic in the not too distant future hopefully. It's nothing I ever imagined would occur, but we have to
keep moving forward no matter what. Thanks again, Andy, and for the great Genz Benz amp I will always use on stage!!!!
if you're already into Trace Elliot, definitely look into the Elf combos. i have the 1x8" combo and it really rocks. i can absolutely use it for band practice, it keeps up great unless the drummer gets waaay too excited.
I'd say yes because I used it in medium-sized venues with no problems at all and the 5-pc. group I was in could get loud. I only used it once at a really long room and as you probably know, a long room can eat up a LOT of sound because I believe you lose 6db every time the distance doubles. Nonetheless, I used my wireless to check it out and it was still at a reasonable level right where they had a glass partition with a door in it to seal off the rest of the room. I was not pushing those cabs to their maximum by a long shot so I "presume" they were loud enough for a loud group in a large venue.
And, they sound really good! I was using my 400-watt per channel Eden WT500/800 amp with them and got a lot of compliments on my sound when I used them. I was a little apprehensive about a 112 with a whizzer cone instead of a separate tweeter horn, but have a friend in the UK who has been playing them for years and was always posting glowing reports about them on the Eden forum back when it was still around. So I wrote to him and he really encouraged me to buy them. It's about 1/3 of the price of the Eden D-series cabs and there's nowhere near that difference in sound. Like I said earlier, the first night I played through my first one, I knew I had to get another and ordered it the next day.
Here's the room where we were playing looking from the dance floor to the back. That's a Looooong ways back there and my set-up covered it fine. Just be sure to get them in 8Ω so you can use two with 500-watt into 4Ω amp:
Not sure if this would be of interest, but it's small, inexpensive, and appears to be very clean.

I've joined the I need a lighter rig for health reasons club and am looking for lighter cabs. My top choice is a Barefaced Super Compact T even though it's expensive but my main issue is the wait time. In the meantime, the new Markbass MB58R 121 Energy cab.
MB58R 121 ENERGY – Markbass
Does anyone have any experience with this cab or know someone who does?
