Hey all,
Posting for a first time here! :) Please bear with me, as I don't know much about bass amps/gear.
I bought a Fender Bassman-style all tube head (with enough wattage to be heard in a band situation) and currently am in the market for a 4x10 cabinet. Was wondering if you can recommend me something, based on my budget - roughly €300? Maybe €350 tops. Planning to buy the cab from Thomann, which leaves me with the following options:
- Kustom DE410H - https://www.thomann.de/intl/kustom_de410h.htm
- Ashdown Toneman 410T Deep - https://www.thomann.de/intl/ashdown_toneman_410t_deep.htm
- Peavey Headliner 410 - https://www.thomann.de/intl/peavey_headliner_410.htm
- Laney R410 - https://www.thomann.de/intl/laney_r410.htm
- Hartke VX 410 - https://www.thomann.de/intl/hartke_vx_410.htm
- Eden TN410 - https://www.thomann.de/intl/eden_tn410.htm
Open to buy from another site that delivers to Bulgaria.
Also checked the local second hand sites, but none of them caught my eye.
Some additional information:
- would prefer 8 or 16 ohms;
- having a horn would be nice... or at least that's what I am being told! Not sure whether it will make dramatic difference;
- my bass is Squire Vintage Modified Precision (4 strings, stock pickups), tuned to D standard;
- will use the rig for rehearsals, recording and live playing;
- I play fingerstyle only (no slapping/picks);
- my band is a power trio, playing mostly instrumental psych/prog/post-rock, if that matters;
- would prefer to be able to achieve a bright(-ish), old school/70s, distinctive tone, e.g.: https://youtu.be/8lAoHRaqUI0?t=56
- I plan to use bass OD in some situations to switch between clean tone and something close to John Wetton's overdriven tone in Red: https://youtu.be/OfR6_V91fG8?t=507
Would be happy to provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance!
