Fender Rumble 115

 

[Kukulkan61]

I've been using this cab for 90% of my gigs for the last 2 years, this is the latest set up!!
Mesa Subway 112 with GK Legacy 800!!

Current Rig, 2X12 and the WD-800 seems to be doing well so far.....

One of my swr goliath cabs works well every place I play. Easy to dial in a tone on my walkabout head, can run it flat and boost whatever I need on my E.B. 3 band.

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.

My bread-and-butter is and has been a Berg CN212.
Small footprint, easy schlep, sounds good, and with the right amp can cover pretty much any gig.

It's a little big for a small cab - like when there is no drummer, or the drummer is playing tasty on a small kit and everyone else is on acoustic
instruments or really small amps.
For that I currently have a 210, but actually have used a 115 more often over the years.
A 115 is pretty nice, but just not quite enough sometimes. But then I usually think a 215 is a little too big - so the 212 kind of slots in there.

I've had several 410s,, 210s,, 212s,, and 115s over the years - I guess overall I like a 115 or 212.

As far as all of us wanting an SVT810... not me.

 

[LUCE]

+1 for the Mesa 115 !

 

[rodl2005]

Bergantino HG410 of late. Covers most gigs and is, just, a one arm carry

My Fender Bassman 100T into a Fender Bassman 410 Neo is working quite well for me!

My Eden D-210-XST. Rated @ 500 watts, 30hz to 14khz, 103dB SPL. And yes it weighs 59lbs. Frankly, I’d rather have two of these than an SVT.

412HE, because its all I have at the moment. I sold my k212s for an amp and this beast. I'm going to get another 212 for practice/smaller stuff, but haven't yet.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Apologies for the typo in the thread, since corrected. Mosts? Not sure how i missed that. Probably because I was making sure it didn’t autocorrect to “moist”.

 

[Gasman]

GK Neo 115. Light and loud. Love mine- if i don’t use my pedalboards I can load all my gear in one trip from the car.

 

[CoffeeLove]

My Bergantino Reference 210 covers all small/medium gigs, and when more is needed I bring a second one

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Kinda wish Mesa would do a Subway / Walkabout (WD-800) combo in 115 or 210. They would probably be too pricey for wide acceptance.

I don't gig, but if I did, I would bring this guy:

 

[superheavyfunk]

I strictly use my GK MB210 V1 for all gigs, regardless of size. It's plenty loud for small and medium-sized rooms, and anything larger than that will have PA support that would negate the need for anything larger, so I see no reason to buy something bulky.

The only thing I'd replace it with of it ever died, would be a Barefaced 2x12 but I'd still likely consider just getting another GK 2x10 combo.

 

[GreyBeard]

My old Sunn Sorado with 2x15's EVL's I've really never needed more.

This would be my backup:

Both sound great, but the Portaflex cab is lighter.

 

[juancaminos]

4X15 but it's just too darn heavy so the 4X10 gets the gig. I can't comprehend anything smaller...yet

BTW: I would really like to try a 6X10 some day but age is catching up faster than any opportunity to do so.

I'm always happy with my Mesa PH610. Sure it weighs a lot, but its pretty easy to load in and out of a vehicle by myself and the tilt back feature makes it pretty easy to get in to most venues. Even stairs aren't too bad as long as they're not unusually narrow.

EDIT: I should add that I have an SUV so I suppose if I had a smaller vehicle this could be an issue, though my SUV is a 2006 Sante Fe which is not particularly large. The 6x10 fits lengthwise in the trunk.
