Really don’t think I’ll need a second, but never say never

Just to close this one out. Got myself a Barefaced one10 and it’s enough! Absolutely astounded by the volume and bottom end from something so small. Love it!

Where do you get the glue?

+1 for @dodgnofski Bought a Barefaced One10 from Tim, great to deal with - Thanks

Totally agree with this

Funny reading this. As a guitarist who's used FRFR with a Helix live for the past 3 years I've recently got more in to bass (played bass in bands years ago) and love the simplicity, and 'realness' of a head/cab for bass. Agree that with the way PA's are moving forward in 20 years no-one will be using proper amps any more, but I'm enjoying using them while I can

I see a few comments about ordering these as a kit, cant for the life of me find out where/how I do that. Anyone got a link?

My Helix has some great bass models in there too, just want to keep it real with a head and cab for bass, gone all hi tech with guitar. I might end up using a modeller, but really like my Ampeg pf350 so would like to use it

Drop me a pm with details if you would. Cheers

The Ampeg brings simplicity which I really like about it, I do have a HK 12" active sitting in the garage, I'll give that a bash. Just sold a Yamha DXR10, that might have done the job, but really like the idea of a 'proper amp and cab' for bass

Thanks for the 'welcome back to bass', and the detailed response For now I'm planning on using the little Ampeg as I already own it, possibly will mess with my Helix in to the FX return and use the Ampeg as a power amp. The Ampeg does 250W @ 8 Ohms, 350 in to 4 ohms. Gone totally in to the FRFR approach with guitar, Helix to PA with a dB technologies FM10 as a monitor, and it works great. Bass sounds good through the dB at home volumes, but suspect it would blow up if used in anger. Just spotted a TKS 112 in the classifieds and seriously considering that. The Eden TN110, looks great, is cheap but I suspect wont be enough on the oomph front

Another quick one. What are people’s thoughts on Eden cabs, any good?

I own our PA, currently play guitar in a band so we normally DI the bass player who uses a Fender Rumble (300 I think) with a 2x10 and it's more than loud enough, like the idea of a 110, but have my doubts

Probably a bit out of my league to be honest. See circumstances above, not even playing bass with a band yet, been on guitar for the last 20 years Will keep my eyes peeled for something suitable

On another note, what are the Ampeg portaflex cabs like? They look a bit too 'vintagy' to be good by modern standards, but I do like the look of them

Sounds like id be pushing it

1. Not even in a band as a bassist at the moment, play guitar in a band, but looking to get back in to bass playing as I really enjoy it, probably Americana sort of stuff, I play in a rock covers band at the moment on guitar 2. Most likely, but then again.... 3. probably pubs

Pretty much what I was thinking, probably been spoilt all these years as a guitarist, back when I played bass in a band I had a 1x15 and a 4x10, and really dont want to go back to that sort of set-up. The Ampeg has a Class D power stage, so it pushes out (in theory) 350W in to 4 Ohms, and probably 200ish in to 8, does that affect the advice of getting an 8 ohm cab?

Been looking at the Eden Terra Nova TN110 1x10 4 Ohm Bass Cab, they are on offer at the moment at gearformusic, dont need loads of stage volume (would be used with an Ampeg PF-350). Just coming back to bass after 20 years of guitar, but the idea of a compact rig is very appealing
