I own an EBS-410 CL, and this is probably the best cab I've ever heard. Fat low end, super-tight mids and clear highs.
I tried it with a lot of different heads because I'm in search for a new one, tube and solid state, warwick, ampeg, markbass, you name it, and this cab sounded nothing but fantastic with every head.
(I admit I don't know the eden cab, but: ) buy it.

EBS! It will punch you in the CHEST!

 

[njaf]

so i guess .. it will be EBS xD

hehe.. very mucho tnx! :>

I prefer the sound of my Eden D-410XLT
More bottom end

 

[nemo]

What kind of music do you play? What is your tone goal?

 

[njaf]

uhm.. Link Removed .. but.. these are "old" recordings .. new song are more Tool / Muse alike.. etno Tool ..something like that.. heh xD

uuhm.. sound .. something like tool/rhcp/ratm :>

I that case the EBS could be a good bet. I had this cab and its upper end clarity and presence would fit for this type of music. I didn't used Eden, though.

 

[~ignited~wings~]

I'm in the other boat, I've used and loved the Eden, but never played the EBS. Honestly, they're both likely to perform well, so just get one.

uhm.. nemo .. what about the EBSs bottom end? :>

* i use 5 string bass :>

oh oh! ..and what about this? SWR Triad?

No idea about the SWR, but low end of EBS 410 dissatisfied me. I play 5 string too and used to use it with 1x15 beneath. The 410 alone didn't cut it in low end for me. I don't say you couldn't eq-in there the bottom, but being sort of flat-eq snob I didn't tried much to remedy it this way and rather put the 1x15 below. That rig I quite liked

Now I have the Bergantino HS410 which soundwise replaced both cabs in one package

The Eden 410xst might be a got choice over the 410xlt if you want thunderous bottom end. the xst cabs have less mids and more sub like lows.

Eden 212XLT + 410XST =

SWR Triad is a very Hi-fi cab but very inefficient. And it only handles 400 watts. So if you put a big amp on it expecting big sound you start blowing drivers. Bulky and heavy also. Don't go there.

 

[njaf]

tnx guys! :> i think i'll take EBS .. still .. got some time to decide :>

what about ampeg? maybe 8×10? SVT-810E? :>

 

[rockstarbassist]

An EBS and/or Eden 410 is about as far away from a Peg fridge as you can get.

 

[njaf]

eehm.. didn't understand that...

 

[rockstarbassist]

Simply mean that if you're interested in either an EBS or Eden 410 cabinet, looking into an Ampeg fridge (810) is about as big a departure as you can go.

 

[njaf]

tnx for the explanation

huge difference between them? this ampeg (svt810) will have more punch than EBS 410 ? cause the price is like the same here. :>

but then again .. to transport that.. soxass xD

wow.. idiot me :| Peg = Ampeg .. ups :>

 

[rockstarbassist]

No, I'd definitely say the EBS and Eden will give you more "punch". I personally am not a fan of anything Ampeg makes/made, so I'm biased. But you better try it before you buy, if possible with all 3.
