[quote name='jmsjabb' post='758612' date='Feb 26 2010, 08:46 PM']See your other wanted post, there is a 121 on ebay[/quote] I am old and stupid so forgive me asking this but where can I find this 121 that you speak of I have klooked but cant seem to find it. Can you set up a link please? Thank you ever so much. EDIT: oh and the reason I am after 300w is because I will be running a Markbass LMII through it. I didnt want to risk damaging it with too much input.

[quote name='GremlinAndy' post='758496' date='Feb 26 2010, 06:45 PM']maybe this? [url="http://www.schroedercabinets.com/mini10+.htm"]Schroeder Mini 10+[/url] I use Shroeder and couldn't be happier. (They can be bought in the UK too) It may be a bit pricey depending what you want to use it for, but it would always have a decent resale value...[/quote] That looks interesting. Do you know where sells them?

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='758448' date='Feb 26 2010, 05:48 PM']Hartke have a little 1x12 300w cab, switchable between 8 and 4ohms: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74193&pid=734126&st=0&#entry734126"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry734126[/url] Ibanez also have the Promethean cabs and combos: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_p110c_promethean.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_p110c_promethean.htm[/url] 4ohm and 500w, should be ok with a LMII[/quote] Thanks alot for the informed reply. I like the sound of that Ibanez, didnt realise they did amp gear. Does anyone have any experience with these, first hand would be good but any recylced information on this cab would be appreciated too. Thanks again

Can anyone point me in the direction of the smallest 8ohm, 300w cab you can think of. I looked through the 'lightwieght cabs' thread but I'm talking really small. I know of a Genz-Benz 8" cab but only at 100w rating. Consider that this is regardless of music style and volume as its just for bedroom playing along with my LMII. Any ideas?

[quote name='The Funk' post='753161' date='Feb 21 2010, 07:48 PM']Leaving aside the cab's acoustical properties, it's just not very sexy is it?[/quote] And at 54kg its not going to be easy to shift, especially since if you spent that much on a cap you would want it flightcased too. Imagine the weight then.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='752795' date='Feb 21 2010, 02:01 PM']I must admit, and this is no reflection on what others may have found, but I prefer the Aguilar 'sound' over even more boutique manufacturers. They are the perfect blend of great looks, great build, awesome tone, smooth horn, great articulate performance, and the ability to do balls out rock/metal as well as jazz/blues and still 'fit in'. Not only that, but they are held with high regard throughout the bass world. The white is cool....but get a cover![/quote] Spot on, every word of it. I have a black on listed in the for sale section if anyone fancies it.

Cheers for the insight people. I suppose it would help if I was a bit more specific. The amp I am using is a Markbass LMII. I am off to uni later this year and need to seriously downsize my rig so was considering one of those EBS neo110 cabs which is rated at 250w. The setup would only be used in a small room and would need to be relatively quiet anyway so as not to upset the neighbours. If there are any other, cheap suggestions that people can recommend then that would be great. Thanks again.

Sorry if this has come up before, I did try looking for the answer but couldnt find it. In a nutshell, would it be completely wrong to plug a cab with 250w power handling into a 300w head. I know its a potentially stupid question but just fancied some real world opinions on this matter. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Just spotted [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Orange-AD200-Bass-Mark-3-Head_W0QQitemZ180469725092QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item2a04d577a4"]this.[/url] Thought I might share it with you kind people as thye got alot of rave reviews around these parts.

Have you taken delivery yet mate?

I only post as a few people ask about bags / protection and this seemed to fit the bill, and is cheap![/quote] I dont suppose by some freak miracle you happen to know of a thread that I can have a look at it do you.

I string my 5 string E-C too. I play alot of classical music and chords so I find having the extra high string handy for those top end appegios and classical style run of notes. In fact, I hardly ever venture down below the 5th fret and never touch the E. When you play in a 12 piece band with full orchestra and piano as well as usuall drums, guitars and vocals, you soon realise that the low B on the 5 string is pretty useless therefore I got rid of it. Best thing I ever did.

2 8ohm cabs = 4ohm output. Its pretty standard setup, my Markbass LMII used the same style as do alot of others. With that much power hooked up to a 4x10 and 1x15, you should be having enough volume for most applications.

Sold some Fender print last week. Payment was quick and correspondance was spot on. All in all, a sound transaction.
