Your thoughts on this cab!

[Low D.]

I was thinkin to get a 2x10 cab and maybe a 1x15. And then i saw this: http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=16
I want your thoughts about these kind of cabs!

Do you believe all speakers will speak out the same, or the 10" will be louder than the 15"? and so on....

Two 10s have about the same cone area as one 15.

If properly designed and executed, there is no reason to think that they wouldn't work well together. Many people use a 1X15 cabinet with a 2X10 or a 4X10 cabinet and have great results. Many like how they compliment each other. Having said that, I have never heard this particular cabinet, so I can't comment.

The cab should work just like a 210 sitting on a single 15. But I'd recheck check the weight. That's 42 kg not pounds. 1 kg = 2.2 pounds so ... at 92.4 pounds for a single cab, I think I'd rather move two lighter cabs (one at a time). But, hey I'm an old guy. I do like the sound of 2 10's and a 15. Fat with punch.

peavey did this back in the day, with both the 1810(1820) with one 18 and two 10's. they also made the 1516, being one 15 and two 8's. I still think my favorite tone Ive had was with an old peavey MarkIII and 1810.

That looks really cool, but weight would suck. I'm carting around a 70 lb. 212, and it's right on the borderline for too heavy. (But the tone is soooo worth it.)

Yeah thats about my thoughts, but portability is the real issue in the end!

Nice cab, but I agree w/ weight issue. Mabe get 115/210 seperate cabs?

Aahh... The Mark III, what a great amp. I bought one new back in '78/79 and played the livin' s***t out of it. It was my only amp until this year. Oh, I bought & sold a couple things along the way, but nothing stayed around for more than a few weeks or so. Then after 26 years of constant use & abuse, it finally broke, so I upgraded to a rack set-up. But, I'm going to have it repaired asap. I miss that amp. Can't wait to get it back in working order. And, being in a couple different projects it would be nice to have it and one of my spare cabs to leave at our studio. No luggin' gear to practice.

So noone owns this Ashdown cab?

It's more like one 12".

I had this very cab for a few weeks a while back, and I used it for quite a few gigs. I really liked it. Yeah, it's on the big side but it's not unmanageable. It's very well constructed,

It shifts a heck of a lot of air, it has a switchable horn, and my bandmates loved it too.

I was never going to keep it in the long-term - it was just to cover me for a particular run of gigs. Thumbs-up from me.
