Job done and roll one IRIE. Never thought of 4x10's as reggae cabs.[/quote] Gwan blaze dem fyah.... Yes dready, most major players backing Sizzla, Capleton, Luciano etc are using the fridge (Ampeg 8x10)...I was fortunate to briefly meet and see familymans rig last year at Lanhydrock (makes a good alternative lyric on trench town rock btw) and he was using an eden 4x10 and ampeg 15" and an Eden WT800 bit like mine...a lot of the old school used to use the 18" and 15" but perhaps as much as 90% of modern players are using the Ampeg 8x10 nowadays with Familyman being the main exception....but then if it sounds good who cares, my 4x10 on its own is nice but i need a bit more air for the larger venues and stuff ....but most of our sound goes through our 11K sound sys anyhow and that only ever runs at about half for most clubs/venues etc. So to keep up with our drummer (Roland TD20 or something top of the range electric banger type thing) as its his sounds sys i need a bit more air on the backline....if you can't feel the riddim of the bass in the belly then well.....plus i kinda like it myself too....irie fe sure!

cheers for the advice guys. The Eden was passed onto me btw, so there you go. I think i may well do the series wiring, just checked up on ohms law and it looks fairly straight forward and ting. Just got in from a lovely gig right on sea front and my eden was pumping the riddims.....was so nice to play reggae in the sun, been given free lobster too and some lovely cocktails called Cosmopolitans! To the guy who said by a combo, lol...i already have some Ashdown in my living room....need big rig for the road dread, seen! Soon with 2 x 4x10Ampegs IRIE

Hi folks, i've got one of these old Eden WT800 amps and weirdly the minimum load is 8ohms for 800 watts, it doesn't take a sinle 4 ohm other than 4ohms a side (2 channels). So anyhow i am looking for an 8x10 (Ampeg, Ashdown etc)....anyone know of or heard where i can get an 8 ohm.....alternatively i already have an ampeg 4x10 4 ohm....if i was to say purchase another Ampeg 4ohm how would i wire it to become 8ohms....please forgive my electrical dyslexia. Thanks Bass brethren

I saw Luciano (big reggae artist) in Newquay a few weeks ago and his bassist had one!

For my living room rig i have an Ashdown Electric Blue 180W with 12inch speaker, cracking sound and looks cool too!,......paid £120 for it on ebay. Worth a look! For the out of the living room though i use Eden

Fe sure, totally Robbie Shakespeare , Lloyd P., - all dem riddim studio 1 kings that new what phat bass meant.....But Fam's is the Teacha! - seen! gwan keep dem fyah blazin fe I&I Jah ....Rasatafari [i]Becoming a bass player means being unable to listen to music without homing in on the bass part. This tendency can make it hard to relate to others. I look longingly at non-musician friends who seem to absorb music with blissful ignorance, responding to the song in its instrumental totality while I analyze the bass performance. But with reggae, we can get along. It gives those same friends a glimpse into full bass appreciation by dint of its undeniable bass heaviness. Whether or not you jive with reggae’s ganja-laced religious overtones, it has a uniquely dependent relationship on our instrument that you have to love. Reggae musicians crave bass—the kind that ripples through the body and stirs the soul. [/i] Blessed love Irie ites
