Help choosing new cab!

[jstringer]

What's up bottom dwellers!

I had some unfortunate gear come up missing out of a trailer. Sigh. I'm over it.


Just scored a peavey vb-2 tube head and need a bigger cab but nothing like an 8x10.

I'm looking mainly at

1. Traynor tc808. I use to own this cab and loved it. I would get another but am curious about the other two.

2. Aguilar DB4x12

3. And a eden xlt6x10 that is used at the local GC. ..


And go! I play rock/pop mainly. I love the midrange presence and a round smooth bottom just like any guy.

I'm using a mm stingray 5 and a jazz bass with an upgraded audere pre and fralin pups

Open to other suggestions as well

Of those, I'd opt for the DB412, but a 212 would be enough for me.

Eden 6x10. I wish there was one around here.
Great cab.

Will the Aggie be too low end focused?
I like to cut through.
I'll just have to take my head and give them a whirl

You'll cut no problem with the Eden. It won't sound muddy ever but will still give a great full sound. Just don't be afraid to boost the lows a little on your amp. The Eden is also a very efficient to make use of everything your amp can put out.

The GK 412 NEO is definitely worth a listen, if you're considering pieces that big. Not only is it easy to handle for its size and great sounding, it makes one watt sound like a million.

For me, I would want a 3015 loaded greenboy Dually.

From what you have listed I would pick the Aggie. I've not played any that you have on your list but I'm just partial to 12's. Ampeg just came out with a new SVT 212 AV might be worth checking out also.

The aguilar 412 is a beast. Its 149 lbs. without a cover. If you have the means to transport the cab it will give you what you want. Its clean with a great bottom end.

The DB version will have a better mid focused than most 412's. I have 2 DB 12's and they are a fantastic combination. I see you have a Thunderfunk 550B. I know with the 2 12 DB's its amazing. Not sure it will push a 412 but the thunderfunk heads are a nice combination with the aggies DB cabs.

Cool. Thanks for the input. Sounds I can't go wrong with either.

No love for the traynor? That 8x8 was awesome with my thunderfunk

I remember when the 8X8 Traynors came out. I kept seeing them come back to our local shop with blown drivers. I never really gave it a chance after that.

Holy crap that's terrible. I wonder how hard they were pushing them. They seem like a high wattage rated cab.

The 8x8 might of worked with great with my thunderfunk but my new vb-2 is a different beast on its own.
