I pulled the trigger on two GRBass miniONE 350w heads to drive two AeroTech 112H (4ohm) cabinets.

I’m very excited to A/B/C it with my Trickfish and Eich equipment.

It is mental this hasn't sold for this price.

Sold an MXR overdrive to Nigel. Instantaneous payment. Perfect transaction.

Great...do have a look at the light weight cab I got 10 days ago for comparison British hand made. It larger because I wanted to get the full volume recommended by Celestian 

 

Looks like a very nice bit of kit. Very interesting concept.

The AT 112 H would be my choice as it has front port. I have never liked rear ports because they are very position/venue sensitive imo...if you go ahead let us know where you purchased & your opinion

Yes, I think I'm going to go front ported now after a few conversations.

I use a lot of delay/reverb/overdrive/looping pedals live so the ever so slightly larger footprint and .5kg weight increase are not significant enough to warrant the potential problems that can crop up with rear porting.

Hi there @Bill Fitzmaurice - would you be kind enough to tell me which of these two options you would plump for if you had to choose between the two based purely on your knowledge and the information available here?

GRBass AT 112 H

• DIMENSIONS 39 H, 51 W, 35 D cm
• WEIGHT 8 Kg
• COLOURS Carbon Fiber + Tolex black. Custom color on demand.
• IMPEDANCE 8 or 4 ohm
• BASS REFLEX on front
• TWEETER 1” with Lpad regulator
• FREQUENCY RESPONSE 38Hz to 22 kHz
• SENSITIVITY 99 dB SPL

GRBass AT CUBE 112

• POWER 450W RMS (AES Standard)
• DIMENSIONS 43 H, 40 W, 35 D cm
• WEIGHT 7,5 Kg
• COLOURS Carbon Fiber + Tolex black. Custom color on demand.
• IMPEDANCE 8 or 4 ohm
• BASS REFLEX on rear
• TWEETER regulation 3 position switch
• FREQUENCY RESPONSE 40Hz to 18 kHz

I found this for anyone else who might be interested in the miniONE.

In summary "...the Mini One performed admirably on the gigs. As a class D head, it’s fine to run it without a cab, so as planned, I simply plugged it directly into the PA. Since then, I’ve used it on a number of local gigs, driving my Epifani UL 410, and the 350 watts it puts out are plenty for most gigs - anything where you need more than 350 watts, you would tend to be putting the bass through the PA in any case. The sound of the Mini One is beautifully transparent - it doesn’t appear to colour the inherent tone of my basses at all, which is exactly how I like my amps to work! In comparison with the Genz Benz Shuttles, the bottom end of the Mini One feels more focused, and the mids are very punchy, so slap and more percussive fingerstyle cut through the mix very well. And the top end is nice and airy, and you really have to dial it way up before it starts to get harsh and brittle. All in all, it’s a fantastic little amp, and the tight, focused bottom end and distinctively punchy mids make it sound much, much bigger than its tiny size and 350 watts..."

There are more options on the GR Bass miniONE compared with the Trace Elliott Elf. I would probably say the miniONE is closer in comparison with an Aguilar TH350 from a specification perspective?

My second absolutely brand new and unused EICH BC112Pro bass combo made 17 December 2019. I play in stereo for any folks wondering why I had two of these.

This 500w EICH BC112Pro, 1x12", lightweight combo costs £1099 at Bass Direct and it is available for less than the price of a new 300w EICH BC112 combo.

I am based in Bournemouth and any trial is welcome. If you have any questions, etc. please contact me.

EICH BC112Pro Features:

• Extremely lightweight
• Classic grill cloth
• High quality ceramic speaker TE12D
• Switching power supply

• External Speakon speaker jack
• Combo Speaker “Off” switch

• Preamp: solid state preamp with gain, taste, lo, lo-mid, hi-mid, hi, master volume controls, "mute" switch, DI pre/post, XLR balanced DI out, 1 x effects loop, tuner out, line out, line in
• Power Amp: Class D amplifier, 500 w / 4 ohms
• Power supply: switching power supply
• Tweeter: 4" CT1 cone-driver
• Freq. Response: 40-19.000 Hz

The BC112Pro combo is driven by power, punch and drive. With it's 500 Watts you will experience every detail of your playing in a totally new and distinct way – completely unaltered but with lots of punch, just the way you like it. The well-balanced four-band tone control suits all musical styles with a perfect sound. The “TASTE” control allows you to emphasise the tonal characteristics of your instrument – everything between a wiry mid-boost, a bold slap and an ultra-fat Reggae or Motown sound.

Jacks for FX loop, Tuner Out, Line Out, Line In and a transformer balanced pre/post switchable DI Out with ground lift lets you connect the BC112Pro to the outside world. The BC112Pro is ideal for travelling around the world due to their voltage switch which allows them to be operated at 230 or 115 volts 50 – 60 Hz.

The BC112Pro combo is fitted with our newly designed EICH TE12D-8 12” bass speaker chassis that works in meticulously calibrated enclosures to deliver an impressive bass. For optimum damping of unwanted resonances our housings are made with support bracings and dampened with acoustic foam.

The combo features the new 4” CT1 tweeter with a ceramic-magnet system. In a coupled volume the tweeter convinced on one hand with his deep starting frequency, on the other hand, with its very flat frequency response and offers far beyond 10 kHz at astounding sound pressure for silky highs.

All combos have an additional Speakon® combo connector for operating an additional cabinet. The internal speaker can be selectively switched off. At the "Rehearsal Section" a headset can be connected at “Phone out” and trough the “AUX-In” a music signal can be fed.

The BC112Pro can be tilted in to a monitor position by inserting a stainless steel rod, which is located at the bottom of the combo.

Chris purchased one of my Eich BC112Pro combos.

Instant payment and brilliant communication throughout.

I hope to deal with him again soon.

Not the cube, I want the 112 to sit under my 210, it is the correct size

Very nice and makes complete sense yes. With everything considered, I think I’m going to go with the smaller footprint and slightly lighter weight of two CUBES.

The 2x10 sounds more modern than 2 x one10s. Cleaner too. I'm going to add an Aerotec 112h to my 2x10

Are you going to buy the AT CUBE 112 or the AT 112 cabinet?

Relieved the Aerotec 2x10 sounds good in the living room test. Nice clear deep sound and it's so light. I've got the 4ohm version, so I can compare it with my 2xBF one10's, also 4ohms. Mesa d800 amp. The GR bass cab seems louder than the BF's with same amp settings. The GR is also brighter as you would expect, it has a tweeter. Turns out the tweeter control is 3 position switch, not a variavble L pad as per GR's advertising. Not a problem for me, positions are "off, bright and even brighter). The first "on" position sounds good at home, we'll see when and if gigging resumes. Build quality feels good, although I suspect the plastic corners might not stand up to abuse. Digging into low B string  sounds clean, theOne10 pair breaking up a bit before the GR 2x10. Overall pleased so far. Could be tempted to replace the BF's with a GR aerotec 1x12 at a later date😂

Brilliant to read this. I'm going to proceed with two AT CUBE 112 cabinets.

Where did you buy it from?

But at least his playing is instantly recognisable/distinctive. For my money that's probably the most important asset in a musician. While all these highly technical players are great at what they do I can't tell one apart from the others

I agree - the gazillion notes per second thing is impressive visually but musically, it does nothing for me.

Peter Hook is so good he's in twice at number 77 and number 78.

I just saw Bass Direct have a secondhand one priced at £899 right now. Grab yourself a bargain.

They look great and they appear to be unparalleled from a weight perspective but I’m very excited about hearing your opinion on the sound.

I’ve not tried one but damn this is almost micro size like the Trace Elliott Elf, has an aux in, DI out and a speakon connection.

Anyone got any first hand experience of these AeroTech cabinets yet?

Half price bargain right there. Really great amps

Yes, I'm not desperate to sell - it's just something rare has come up for sale that I'd like but if it sells before this then I'll put the price back up a bit.

Might be of some use?
