Which 10" cab for small gigs/practice?

[kekani]

Instead of burning through my data, I thought I'd tap the collective wisdom here.

First on my list would be an F110, but out of my budget, for now. Looking to spend less $500, and less than that if possible.

DIY IS on the table, because as light as it is, I'm just too lazy to drag my 12/6 cube to practice. Got an Eden WTX500, so looking for just a cab, preferably. Been through BFM Jacks, but staying with Dave Green for bass for my main rig. Prefer something deeper than Jacks anyway.

I think I'm spoiled with my cab, but that may just be my imagination. But, I know somethings out there for me, just not a whole lot of places to try, so I'm flying blind. I should've put practice before small gigs as that's the primary focus, but if I get something good (for me, good is my current cab), then it may see gig duty.

The best 110 is a 112.

 

[Stumbo]

Revsound 1x12 ultra light, 22 lbs.
Fender Rumble 1x12, 31 lbs.

Keep your eyes open for a Crazy 8. They hit pretty well for their petite size. If you're lucky you can find one in your price range.

How loud does it need to be?

Some options:

Barefaced One10

Custom: It may be worth a call to Don at Low Down Sound to see what he can cook up. I bet he can build a nice, light single 10 or 12 for within your budget.

Wow, this is interesting. I expected to see some over the counter stuff, but its still early in what I guess is a beaten to death subject.

I'm looking for a 10, not to replace my 12/6 Cube (that's not going anywhere), just for easy (lazy) pack space and carrying. I don't need club loud, maybe coffee shop loud (again, got my 12 as my main rig), but my spoiled ears would like deep, and clear if possible. I guess a cheaper version of an F110 maybe, if I were to relate what I suspect is in my head.

Never thought about LDS, which may be an option.

Another vote for Revsound. Light, but great tone, and reasonably priced.

Bareface has a great 110. Check them out.

The Barefaced One 10 is a solid little cab, light but will take some power and some eq. I've used mine for a year at rehearsals and jams and several smallish gig.

 

[Plutonium244]

A Barefaced One10 is about $500. Well worth it IMO.

Rev makes a 1x10, too!

I know of very few 1-10 cabs from the more mainstream brands. I know Eden makes one but don't have any experience with it. A million 1-10 combos but very few 1-10 cabs that you can safely put a couple hundred watts into.

I'm in the same boat as you....
For small rehearsal or acoustic stuff that I do.

I try out a few 1x10 combos and they all seem a little on the weak side...

So i like to get a nice little 1X10 cab like a Epifani or bergentino or similar, so I could use my amps with it...
Seems like you have to pay a lot for a little cab..

Markbass Traveler 102P or Standard 102HF, I use both, price/weight/power...cant beat them. Used they are less than $500.

 

[KillerEddie]

Go bigger and use a Genzler BA12-3 and get the best of both worlds with the lows of a 12 and the punch of the drivers. And they're really light and portable I practice using just one and it is more than adequate.

[Bassquest]

Maybe an Eden EX110 (4 or 8 ohm)?

 

[MOEBASSPLAYER]

Not sure if you are open to a combo, but I have the Fender Rumble 40 and it is great for rehearsals. Plenty loud, and best of all lightweight.

 

[MNAirHead]

I hunted and hunted to try and test something that would work.

surprising loud... I put an eminence BP10 in it... will handle a low b

Works great mated with a MB200

Light weight.. nice sitting stool

The best 110 is a 112.

That was true before barefaced launched the one10 - which is one of the best 112's now.
