Gigging Musicians: Cabinet Choice

[Acoustic356]

This thread is for gigging musicians that carry their gear out 2 or more times a month... what size cab do you carry, and how much does it weigh?

 

[Roland GR 88]

Berg CN 2x12 46 lbs (it's really 51 but we don't like to mention that)

 

[blastbass]

810 if it's a big stage, 210 if it's a club gig. Ampeg and tc resp..

How do you usually move your 810?

I don't, the scene here is v different, the organisers get all the gear.

Yeah... there's a difference when you have to carry the gear yourself!

I'm sorry, should have read the post more carefully.

 

[Jakedog]

Markbass Traveler 2x10 for club gigs. If I need more juice than that, I use the direct out. Weighs 33 lbs.

 

[alembicguy]

8x10 150 pounds

 

[Turn Em Loose]

AK Hathor 1203's. Light, loud and luscious. About 50 lbs total for both cabs.

 

[Groove Doctor]

Berg CN 2x12 46 lbs (it's really 51 but we don't like to mention that)

Same here for pub/club gig. Loud as I need & as heavy as I want to lift/wheel around at 1am 2-6 times/month.

Quieter or Jazz gigs, Baer ML112 (6" + 12"), 16.5kg or 36lbs.

Pure bliss. I feel spoilt.

 

[TrentB]

Berg NV610, 100lbs although I just got an Audiokinesis Hathor 212 that that weighs 43lbs and can match the 610 volume wise. It will see it's first gig next Friday.

 

[Acoustic356]

8x10 150 pounds

How many times a month do you carry it, and what do you use?

 

[alembicguy]

4 times a month and power it with a Aguilar DB750

 

[Goatrope]

Berg CN 2x12 46 lbs (it's really 51 but we don't like to mention that)

Haha! Yeah, one of mine is close to 50, the other is a few pounds less. Not sure why, but they are the lightest and best sounding cabs I've ever owned.

Neither are a bad schlep at 2am.

 

[alack]

Depending on the gig either a 1x12 or a 2x10. More often then not its a combination of the 2x10 with a 1x12. All my cabs have to be something I can move myself.

 

[Pet Sounds]

Mesa Powerhouse 410, 85 lbs. It's on casters, though.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

For club gigs, two Avatar 2x10s with neos (44 lbs each). For large venues/outdoors, add an Avatar 4x10 with neos (65 lbs.).

 

[Djadja]

A single Genzler BA12-3, 34 pounds. it goes loud enough for my needs

 

[JimmyM]

Lately it's been an Ampeg PF112hlf. Sounds like Ampeg but only weighs 30 lbs. Nice!
