Looking for a new single 10 cab over 100 pounds

[Michedelic]

Check into one of the old Mitchell sand cabs. Scientifically proven.

I am so enjoying this thread. Kudos to the OP and everyone!

I actually found someone NOT looking for the lightest cab to be kind of refreshing.

I've solved the problem of pulling these little cigar box heads off your stack with your guitar cable ( much less that draft that slides it around when they leave the front door open).

I gotta ask Andy and Jeff about this, but I drilled and tapped a piece of thrown away CSX rail cut to the width of the head and you screw it in where the rubber feet went on.

That little sucker ain't goin' anywhere now, plus it's a green ( . . . well, actually, sorta rust colored . . .), recycling solution. Having a hell of a time with the shoulder bag, though. Much bigger heatsink, plus it's silent, no fan noise. And I think it sounds heavier!

BTW, I want to update the speaker in my Pignose, it farts out on those low C's. Any ideas?

Go to a Thrift Shop and pick up one of them iHome Bluetooth speakers for cheap, or if you got a coupon they are usually on sale at major retailers near the checkout line. Rip out the speaker and glue it into the Pignose.


ENJOY!

Seeing as this is talkbass,
Im going to talk about something taking up half the page, only you didn’t ask for it and it’s completely irrelevant.



What you need sonny is a spector woodstock fiver. My bass teacher who had just taught me how to play 12 bar blues in Am (I’ve been playing for 65 years) said my custom shop Precision was “old news” and well hes the teacher so I sold it for 7 grand and yeah here we are. We rushed through “sharp dressed man” and “runnin with the devil”. Wow this spector is one nifty axe! Not only that but my prehistoric shoulders cant handle anything more than 3.167 pounds of pressure, so the chambered body, neck, strings, and pickups were a lifesafer. Chambered pots and preamp too!

gorsh Im a lucky guy, where are my glasses????

I'm getting tired of all the light weight cabs out there. Where can I find a single 10" cab that weighs more than 100 pounds? I'll be running it with a 15 watt Gorilla amp, so must be able to handle all that power. The heavier the better. I'm hoping to also use it to replace my weight lifting set. I thought this is a good day to ask.

add some bags of sharp sand inside the cab the damping effect improves the tone in the lower mids

Today's your lucky day!
I have a 1x10 Behemoth cabinet up on eBay as we speak. It weighs 180 pounds (without the included Anvil case), and it is in very good condition. I'm only selling it because I've made strides in my playing and feel that I deserve something heavier now.
The only catch: no local pickup.
Cabinet: $49.99 or best offer.
Shipping: $819.50.

Go custom build

Get you one of them heads with the fan on top and reverse the polarity so the fan is blowing up towards the ceiling. Then just increase the voltage. The fan should act as a helicopter rotor in reverse, pushing the cab down towards the floor. Instant weight! Plus you're going to need a big battery pack to run the thing while you're carrying it to the van.

I brought that up in post #21.
From a Reverb ad for a 2x12 combo model…
“Super cool & super rare early 80’s Mitchell Sand Cab Amp with original 2x12 Eminence speakers! Legend has it that, back in the 70’s, there was a shop “Sound & Guitar” in Riverside, CA, owned by a one Tommy Mitchell. Him & his brother are said to have started the Mitchell Speaker Company. Tommy envisioned a concept of blocking off the top and bottom corners of the back of the inside of the amp with sand to create a barrier of sorts, minimizing unwanted vibration. He sometimes used up to an inch of thick wood on some of this amps to garner the same effect.”

I replaced my 18” speaker in my Acoustic 301 cab with a single 10” speaker. Way more highs now…

 

[Fonkamex]

There is a Roland DB-900 that weights more than 140lb. It goes with 4x10 and 2x12.

 

[kerrycares]

Get an SVT cab with only 1 working speaker , that should do the trick!

 

[Jack Butler]

Also, forgot to mention that it will be used to play large arenas with no PA support.

The only way you'll be able to do this is if your amp is less than 40watts. Also, don't forget, 10's are for highs, 15's for lows, regardless of designer intent.

I use an 18 for highs and usually a tweeter for lows and I use a headphone amp.

Today is April the 2nd and so now you are looking for a 10" cab that weighs under 10 lbs.

I can't think of anyone who will give you more weight pr watts than Orange. If they've been sneaky and used one of those nasty neo speakers you can always throw it in the rubbish bin and go ceramic.
