Carvin 210MBE MICRO BASS 2 X 10

[jlepre]

Has anyone heard or tried one of these cabs yet? I mean the price is amazing $229, but I just wonder how they sound. Plus they weigh right around 30 pounds.

I am currently running a pair of Avatar B210 cabs, and I like the tone and volume I get, but the weight of the non neo cabs are a bit much at 60 pounds. I was wondering how these would stack up sonically, but I am worried with their smaller dimensions if they can achieve the sound and volume of the Avatars. I like to use just one for smaller situations as well.

You can sometimes get an Ampeg SVT210AV for what those cost shipped.

 

[jlepre]

These are $238 shipped, plus I can have it finished in a variety of colors. I thought the SVT210AV sells for around $299.

Plus they are only rated at 200 watts/8 ohm

Whoa!! That is the same as the Carvins. Hmmmm not sure if wither of these would suffice. I run 500 watts at 8 ohms.

Where?

 

[RoadRanger]

Yes, they are $299 MAP. Sometimes they are on fleaBay for that "or best offer" - I got my second one for $250 shipped. Yes, the color selections are interesting but I saw the shipping as $19 so $248 shipped? Where did you see the power rating? I looked all over for that and info about what connections it has? I assume they are non-ported but I couldn't find that info either? If you are looking for light and capable of taking much more power look to RevSound .

I run 2 of them and they are great cabs. the weight was the real reason I bought them. they sound great with my hartke lh 500 or my carvin bx500

 

[jlepre]

What type of music do you play, how many pieces in your band and do you use them in a live club situation? Do they handle the low B well?

 

[spaz21387]

I play punk and a 4 string so I have no idea if they handle the low b well... my band is a 4 piece singer, bass(me), guitarist and drummer... I have used them at many clubs some without pa systems for the instruments and they killed it I'm very happy with them.

 

[spaz21387]

also they are ported look at the bottom right corner...

 

[spaz21387]

also I suggest waiting till around thanksgiving because carvin will usually give you free colored tolex upgrades and free shipping around the holidays...

The tolex upgrade is free right now. I wonder how long the wait is to get custom red? I'm sure shipping to NY would be about a week.

Do you think my Genz STM-900 would obliterate 2 of these cabs running at 4 ohms?

Well, if you're willing to give it a go we're willing to point and laugh .

 

[jlepre]

Of course I have the ears, and experience to not crank the bass and gain. I was just seriously considering trying a pair out in a band setting with my current band. We have Keys, Guitar, and drums and play classic rock.

a friend of mine bought the combo version and the stand alone cab-
the cab didn't take the B well at all and farted out really early. he sold it quickly thereafter.
I thought it sounded like a $200 cab.

 

[jlepre]

Hmmmmm that is what I was afraid of...

Looks like I might need to just save up for new Avatar NEOS.
