I got my GR Bass AT110 and have been using it a lot. I have to say it is what I was looking for. It is unfair to compare it to a BF one10 without a tweeter but I did try them back to back. The GR was louder, much fuller and more balanced. If they were in a fist fight the BF would probably win for sturdiness I would guess but the GR seems sturdy enough and I'm trying not to slam it around! If you like a more modern transparent sound the GR AT110 runs rings around the competition that I have heard at that kinda weight class. I also have a super midget and for me its like an ultra light weight compact version of it. It can't compete with it in terms of performance but if you want to keep things easy to carry by foot then this a like the little brother that is showing some of his older brothers potential! In this instance I'm really not convinced the carbon fibre sounds worse than wood by the way, if anything I'd say its more open sounding! There is plenty of good bass equipment out there but I think GR Bass are massively underrated. Have tried a couple of the heads too and I'm completely sold on them. Not sure the GR bass 12" stuff would sound as good as the super midget but I'm happy to have the SM as a tank of a cab that will go on forever and sound great and have the AT110 to hop around on foot and still get it done when I want to shove something on my back and get going!

Thanks for that, I have heard about the wizzi 10 and 12 a few times just looked at the 10 online, 8kg with a tweeter is pretty impressive! Got a GR Bass AT 110 on order which is 3kg lighter and £50 cheaper but if that doesn't get me where I want to be I will definitely consider the wizzi!

I should be able to AB the BF 110 against the GR AT 110. Will let you know as soon as I get through the dreaded lead times! How long was after ordering for you? I'm 9 days in!

It's for a mix of little gigs all different but I got some IEM's that will be coming along for the ride when I need them for sure!

I would have assumed it to be the case but I was interested to hear the opinion of someone who'd AB'd them.

You say all the right things! Thanks again

If it works out at 5kg I will be blown away. If it was just for electric bass I wouldn't look any further than the BF one10! That logo is awesome Stevie only just clocked it!

If it easier to pitch with for whatever reason I'll be happy! If it's not I will try something else.

The GR BASS AT 110 is £50 cheaper and 3.5 kg lighter than the BF one10T. I already have a super midget which sounds incredible so I have no need for something else of that kinda weight.The BF one10 is nearly perfect and I have no problem with 7kg but its just not amazing on my double bass set up for pitching/clarity. (most double bassists say the same) The barefaced one10 T maybe the best thing out there but at £499 and 5kg and I think potentially a more transparent modern sounding 10" I think its worth a go.

just out of interest, the BF 210 compared to the AT 210 which one was more transparent sounding would you say?

£499 from bass direct. Will let you know how I get on!

I tried the bass cub I swapped it for a micromark 8" as I felt the markbass although fairly coloured was more audible and the PJB was unusably quiet. Would like to try some other stuff by them at some point though.

The AER stuff is actually pretty heavy! I already have incredible sound with a super midget for gigs where I can drive to them. The trick for me is finding something easy to pitch with just about giggable that weighs in at 7kg or under. (It's not easy going through rush hour tube stations with a double bass and an amp.) I think the GR bass AT 110 might deliver pretty well on these parameters!

Thanks Itu, I have tried the cab with a few amps some of which have an EQ bypass mode and FX send and return and I'd say the cab is in this case the thing that is obviously coloured. (That was the aim of the designers of this cab to sound retro and warm) It does sound great for electric bass but not great for pitching with my upright. I have personally found the cabs I've tried a much much bigger component to colour than the class D heads I've tried. I thought that was due to speaker driver choice mostly but I'm getting the feeling from this post its a lot to do with the design of the cabinet.

Will let you know have you tried upright with GR stuff by any chance?

I think I maybe suffering from a cocktail of too much internet and being not as funny as I think I am so apologies for that I will keep you posted on my featherweight quest anyways. I've emailed bass direct and they are getting on a price now!

Thanks I'm actually going back and forth with this guy right now! I'm west Sussex for my sins!

The GR BASS AT 110 is 5kg 42 to 18khz with a tweeter and 10" and from what i understand a more transparent sound. (Was curious if a speaker swap might be a cheap alternative but looks like it's a no go.) Please help yourself to this link https://www.grbass.com/cabinet-carbon-fiber/at-110/

Thanks for the advice. Will see how much the GR AT 110 retails at (which is no bigger and 2kg lighter with the tweeter) and maybe sell the BF one10. A speaker swap as you say may be a bad idea.

Thanks will ping Bass direct a message for a price to see what these cabs work out at in the UK.

Thanks but too heavy I already have a super midget at that weight

This I found yesterday. I think its 699 euros if you are in europe. This would be perfect. I might have the money for this in future. If I could get hold of the 10" speaker from this I'm sure it would be less coloured than the BF.

Thanks but its too heavy
