SWR Goliath JR. Eden. Trace Elliot 2x8, punches like a 210. Like they (mostly) said, doesn't matter sonically. Lows are non directional. Could be a proxy for extra width in a vertical cab to have stability and/or avoid muffin top.

More likely 2/3 of 4 ohm rating. I doubt a 2x8 is going to impress though. A pair of them would start to boogie.

If your amp has fx send return you only need a modest powered sub with a HF out to go back to the 112. You can be as loud as you need be.

Used to. Whole band did. Backline was frontline, no vocals. Bass was highpassed ala Fitzmaurice and bit more so the kick sounded like a kick and bass still sounded like bass. One night the sub didn't get hooked up properly. Couldn't figure what was up with the bass at soundcheck. The other cab was highpassed another 10 or 20 hz higher than the bass so that bit was missing. Plugged in the sub and back in business. So the takeaway is, it depends how you roll.

That is how an OM session I used to play at regularly got started. After a couple of years of me adding bass we had full band jams, sometimes with multiple percussionists (minus drum set). Sadly Covid did it in. Point being, an extra cab can come in handy, mostly for the extra height, unless actual drumset shows up.

What on Earth is OM / co play? Sounds like dressing up as a guru to play bass to the dog and cat.

Gots to be some Dire Straits in an AufWeidersen bash.

Car windscreen shipping boxes are in the same camp. Very sturdy. It's a bit of work chopping one down but end result is solid.

Cocaine being dispensed at the bar perhaps.

How very diplomatic!

An all tube 200w amp, no hiss, pops or squeaks, for around about 70 quid because nobody else wanted to give it a home.

No love for homegrown John East?

Congrats. You have learned how to operate gear.

The other thing to do should already have been SOP. Loop your cable through the cab handle before inserting in the amp input. Very much harder to do any damage.

You should try one out with a pedal or three or four. What you put in comes out so unless you go to town on processing it you get vanilla.

What's wrong with a BF BigBaby?

I am more a flavour of last century kind of buyer.

I think with the class D stuff you mostly have to eat the fact amps aren't that fixable anymore. That's not to say they can't be fixed but it often involves spending more than they are worth. Even more reason to buy a lightly used one and hope for the best. Save some more for a spare you can leave in your glovebox.

Gets you way much more for your money! People are always trading in on the next new thing.

A working band has "consumer" rights? Not likely. If a store buys a TV to use to play video and it dies prematurely that's tough luck.

Right idea, but shift it all up an octave. The punter chest cavity resonates around 80hz. That's the centre of "thump".

I actually meant taking on the other ampless combo and making it like your one. Then treating yourself to two new drivers and flipping the rest.

It's obvious how this is going to pan out.... Fully refurbed stack of doom with two new drivers and the old good driver flipped for 20 quid.

I may have missed it but have you tried a different bass and amp before condemning the cab?
