Downsizing my Gear

[nance511]

Currently I play Peavey's Tour 450 head through the Peavey Tour 1x15 Neo cabinet.
It's a really good setup and I like it a lot, my only issue with it is that it's a pretty big rig.
The head and cab aren't crazy heavy by themselves, but they are LARGE, which isn't preferable for me.

I just bought an Eden EX1108 cab that should get here this week, but it's really just a "small gig" cab.

What I would love to know is if there's a comparable head in quality, wattage and price that is smaller and just as dependable as my Tour 450 and if there's a comparable Neo cab in price and quality as the Tour 1x15.

Anybody with opinions would be appreciated.

thanks!

Sorry but you are a BASS player. That necessitates amps and cabinets of a certain size. For myself the smallest I would ever go is a pair of 2x10s.

Do you have pa support

I really like the Ampeg PF500 or 7pro with the matching 15 or 2x10 cab(s). I don't mind large amps, but the small Ampegs are calling me

I just downsized from a Berg hs410 to an ae210.
I am using an lmII to power it, and it will cover any gig I do.
Church has pa support, as do any really large gigs of 1500 plus, but this baby will do a club/pub on it's own no probs!
(as long as you don't play metal)
I you need more power the stl900 is 500watts @8ohm
Hope that helps
Ian

yes, I'm almost always in a situation with PA support.
If anything, I use my cabs in an onstage monitor type capacity.
I'm just looking for suggestions on a dependable, reasonably priced rig that doesn't suck to haul around.

Being that you typically have PA support, get a good 210, put it on a tiltback amp stand for monitoring purposes and you're done.
