Maybe, but not right now. If I can pick up a used RS210 I will definitely sell it outright. I can buy a new one (and the price is reasonable), but I'm tryin'a save a dollar, know what I mean? Feel free to message me and offer if you'd like.

Up for straight sale now, edited thread to remove trade references.

Seriously? 19 pounds!?!? How would you compare it to the Trickfish 2x8?

I haven’t weighed this cab myself, I got that spec online. But I can confirm it weighs about as much as a paper clip.

Can’t compare it to the trick fish myself, I’ve never played any other 2x8. But I will say this cab sounds impossibly large. It reminds my of a Euphonic Audio NL210 I had in that it brings more volume that I can imagine. But that EA got sorta wonky when really pushed. This cab I never really pushed too hard. My experience is it’s very smooth and even from highs to lows.

Put it this way: I liked this cab so much and was so impressed I bought a Revsound 210 because I think it’ll be all the volume I could want to play with a band.

Correct. I’m not sure he ever made these with tweeters. I personally don’t think it needs it, but then again I play flats so what do I know! Based on reviews in the Revsound club here on TB, many agree the cabs delivers nice highs without a tweeter.

I recently got a RS-28V (the vertical version) and my style is aggressive with a lot of highs dialed in. I thought it might not sound "sparkly enough" but I realized after playing it for a few weeks these things do not really need a tweeter.

I hit mine with 300 watts, lots of lows (50 Hz) dialed in, lots of highs, and the low and high boost buttons engaged on my head.

Even at 3/4 volume I could not get the thing to even begin to fart out. VERY balanced sound across the entire spectrum.

For about what one would pay for a used Trace 2 x 8" this thing is a great deal.

BLWTS!

I was never a flatwounds guy, when I started playing and got my first good bass (a Rickenbacker 4001) I ripped off the flats and put on a set of Rotosounds when I got home before I even played it LOL.

Funny thing a while back I put flats on my Rick 4003, thinking of getting the McCartney tone from when he started using a Ric on the Beatles albums.

Instead what I wound up with was the "Deep Purple Machine Head" tone. (turns out a big part of the McCartney Ric sound was the string mute and I had replaced the bridge with a Hipshot which has no string mute).

Well it turns out getting the "Deep Purple Machine Head/Roger Glover" sound was actually more my thing LOL.

For reference for the guy who asked, with the RevSound I have been playing a Squier Classic P-Bass but that bass also has a Hipshot bridge (I hate stock Fender pot metal bridges) and a Duncan Quarter pounder. LOTS of output with that bass and a lot of highs for a P-bass. I actually liked the tone with the tone control dialed back about 10% better going through the RS-28V.

Sure it doesn't have the spitty highs a cab with a horn has but the upper parts of the frequency response actually sound pretty damn good. Digging in hard with a lot of highs, the cab has just the kinda high end clank I love to hear.

Thanks for this, Analogeezer.

I play a p bass with Lollar pickups and TI flats through a Mesa Subway 800. Sometimes with a mute. Love the way the sound comes out of this cab! Hopefully I like my RS210 just as much (but louder).
