Looking for a cab - small, loud with some nice lows, is it possible?

[JohnnyBottom]

+1 for RevSound... I have a 1x15 25lbs a 1x12 25lbs and a 2x10 30lbs arriving any day.
Im all set with solo various combinations of cabs.

Their cabs are much! better than their Web Site...

Some information is in order:

1) Where do you live?
2) How much money can you spend?

Many people felt the same. What does a 15 year old cab have to do with the SW 115?

It made me look into other brands, and found my true love in Acme.

Ok. That is not obvious from post #59.

GK MB 112 may do the job. It has the option of adding a powered 12”. That is what I have, I found mine used for not much dough. Usually I use it for upright gigs so it can deliver lows.

GK also has the 212 in one box.

Hi there!

For some time I was using at home my Warwick BC80 combo which was quite nice in overall. After some time I started some music activities for local youths at our town community centre. Unfortunately Warwick BC80 can't get though drums or guitars so I need to change it for something else. Other participant has a spare Fender Rumble 100 which was much better, however its older version which weights a ton and we don't have any dedicated place there for our stuff, we can't leave our equipment at community centre, every two weeks we need to mount and dismount everything including carrying everything the stairs..

I think I'm really into head + cab right now. I think I would like to get a Hartke HA3500 for a head, but I'm not sure about a cab. 410 would be great but this is definitely too huge and heavy so there's no go for that. I think 210 would be fine but I heard 210 lacks some lows and I'm definitely a low-bass fan. I know I can have 210+115 setup but this is just another brick to carry over places. Regarding just single 115 can be too muddy and too slow.

Can you please suggest a 210 cab that could still have some pretty good low-freq capabilities? Or you have any other suggestions that still are OK regarding mobility? DI and mixer for now I'd say no for two reasons - we don't have any reliable "stage" monitors and because at home I'd also like to have a head + cab.

Thanks!

I'd preview a Rumble 210, 350/700 watt power handling, plenty of low end and somewhere just south of 40 lbs. Personally the 410s have too much weight, 2 210s are lighter and have incredible lows and they stack up closer to ear level. Of course these are not super high end cabs (Bergantino, Mesa, etc) but I would definitely give a listen, especially considering the price. I'm biased of course.

Without a budget, I really can't make a good recommendation. If you are willing to spend some $, this is my
stage rig.
Mesa 800+ Head
Fearless F112 cabinet from Scabby Road
View attachment 3929295

It gets louder than you should have stage volume in any venue, and hits the Low-B as if it was mechanically connected to your eardrum. The head will fit in the pocket of my gig bag, the cabinet weights ~40 lbs

~$2000 for the whole rig new.

Now that’s a rig, and here is one in the same neighborhood, but with a 15, IMHO, the best 15 around, not muddy.

Cool, I didn't realize they added the 15-3 to the line.

It’s not light or cheap (unless bought used), but an Eden D-210xst would work. Great low end range rated a 500 watts rms. I use it with a 12 piece horn vocal band. Highly efficient. Mesa has a 1-12 cab might be a little more your cup of tea however.

Schroeder!

Yep that works.
The gig rig, light, powerful, great sound. Small enough to go any where and load into anything.

Berg B|Amp
Top is a 12PL (Single twelve) 102 db 1w / 1 m, weighs 28 lbs, 8 ohms, 600 watts
Bottom is a 1212L (Dual Twelve one is a corner slot load) 103 db 1w @ 1m, weighs 42 lbs, 8 ohms, 800 watts

I use an Ashdown 12 for the reasons the OP posts.

Light, loud and cheap. You can get 2 out of 3 but never all 3.

Schroeder gets pretty close in my opinion there may be better cabs out there but based off of price for options I think schroeder pants most brands at least that I've seen so far. They are light weight under $1000 and loud. Only gripe I've heard some say they have is they are voiced abit more mid forward wich for me isn't a issue as that's the sound I generally go for.

So Whatcha gonna do?

Avatar sb12/6 is loud enough for practice/stage monitoring weighs a bit more than 40 pounds, but you could get a neo magnet at 39 pounds. Sounds fantastic.

Without a doubt the Genzler BA series will sort you out. They have a 210 with great lows that weighs 30ish pounds. I personally like their BA12-3. Not quite as loud but beautiful sounding - and probably plenty loud for you usage.
