Rig Rebuild-Help picking cabs

[zacwbass]

Hey guys
So I'm currently running an Eden WT550 into an SWR 2x10 and 115 cabinet. I've noticed, however, that the mismatch in cab sizes is not helping my sound much, and the SWR tone is no longer what I'm looking for. So, suggestions for cabs would be helpful. A few things that I'm looking for are
- lightweight and portable
- modular (as I often do theater gigs when I'm not rocking out)
- articulate/loud enough to be heard in a rock band. Not competing against massive stacks but I do play in larger venues, normally with tube guitar combos either side of me

At the moment the front runners are a pair of GK Neo 112's, but open to suggestions

Cheers

Zac

Guitar players with tube amps on larger stages.... I suggest grabbing two 210's and stacking them vertically. One 210 for theater style gigs, two of them for louder gigs. Avatar makes some lightweight, but good sounding equipment.

When you use the single 210, put a 2x4 or something similar under it to tilt it towards your ears. Boom! You can now hear yourself much better.

As for the brand, try as many cabs as you can. Get two identical cabs from the same brand in the end and you are good to go.

Not sure if two 112's are going to work for you. How loud do you need to be on stage? It is going to come down to what tone you want to achieve and how loud the band is overall. If you like a good amount to a lot of low end from your rig, single 112's are TYPICALLY not going to deliver that. If you want to hear your bass notes and not feel them much (leaving the PA do the work), single 112's can work great.
