Nominate your favorite single cab solution for *most* gigs

[NeonVomit]

Just one cab? My GK NEO 410. Reasonably compact, can take a beating, light enough for one person to load in/out of a car, casters makes it a breeze to roll around, serious power handling, loud, punchy + clear tone no matter what amp you hook up to it. It's worked perfectly for every gig I've used it at so far.

Accugroove El Whappo. Have the passive and powered models.

 

[maxschrek]

Acoustic 405 4x12 cab.

In the last few years, most of my gigs have had the zero cabinet solution - in ears, let the PA do the work. The gigs that I don't do on ears, a 110 cabinet I built is more than sufficient. I do have a 112 that I built that.....is there in case I get a slightly bigger gig.

Much as I'd like to replace my Genz Benz Neox112 w a Subway 15 to match the D800, simply can't justify the expense. Sounds too damn good from small to large stages

Bring another one if need more...

 

[gazzatriumph]

TC Electronics 210 and another TC 210 if necessary.

That's going to become more and more common as bands replace their PAs, even for small clubs.

I use a pair of GK neo 112s (sometimes one, sometimes both depending on the room and FOH). But you said one, and then it would probably be a GK 212 or (if I had the cash) a Bergantino 212. Both of those are still light and portable, but I'd rather have a little extra and not need it than not enough, and the 112 doesnt' quite cut it in some situations

[Thumpin6string]

Epifani UL410 for everything. It's light, handles 1000 watts and pumps out the bass.

 

[kesslari]

MAS Bodai 28. Handles everything.

For about the last year or so , I have used almost exclusively my Ampeg 2 12 av cab. The only other cab I would use is one of my 8 10e's. I have three of those suckers.
The 2 12 is such an awesome cab , I haven't needed an 8 10 in ages. I still keep one in the back of my truck though.

 

[The Bass Clef]

Aggie SL112 (x2 for outdoors or bigger rooms).

 

[drpepper]

Favorite for small gigs, this (medium, same and big, same)

 

[Humbled]

Favorite? A decent set of sidefills.

Then I can just do this:

 

[Brad Maestas]

My workhorse for over 15 years in NYC was an Epifani UL-112. Now it's a Trickfish 112. If I need to move a little more air I take the TF408 instead. Gigantic sounding cab for its size and weight.

 

[gozbass]

My go to single cab for shows is a 4 ohm Peavey TFX 4-12. It is heavy but it also covers anything i need in one cab.

 

[BobDeRosa]

Guessing that the majority of us are doing small to mid-sized rooms where a single cab will easily suffice. Outdoors, you may want more, so keep this to the sweet spot of the bread and butter gigs. What's your favorite cab, why - and yes, we all want an SVT 810.

For questions like this, don't we need a little more context? Venue size is one thing, but aren't the type of music you're playing and the size and instrumentation of the band even more important? A metal trio in a small-to-medium place is one thing, a jazz trio is another. An acoustic duo is one thing, a big band is another. Tough to generalize.

Ive never had the chance to play through a 2 cab rig (other than crappy ones at rehearsals), and in fact never owned anything with more than 2 drivers in it, but ive always got by.
My Schroeder 1212L was very competent and always loud and punchy. No idea why i got rid of it. Went through a few other cabs, then settled on a Vanderkley 1x15. Happy with that for a couple of years, but now totally in love with my Fearless F112. Not gigged this one yet, thats coming in a few weeks, but i know its going to be 'the one'.
