Need to be heard over a loud blues trio (40w valve amp and a loud drummer), I haven't played through a 1x12 before, only a 1x15. I used to have an Epifani UL1x15 which I reckon was loud enough. So do we reckon 1x12 wouldn't be able to hack it compared to the 3x10? I do prefer the sound of multiple 10's if I had the choice. JTUK - maybe a new storage place would be better but leaving it at someone else's would be too inconvinient I reckon. Lozz - thanks for the comparison. The eden EQ is very powerful so I'm sure I could make the barefaced sound a bit more scooped like the 3x10 if needed. I have the tweeter turned quite far down on the epi, just for a little crispness more than anything. Chris - we do have a large lounge with some storage space but its being used at the moment by other people. Maybe I should ask to see if I can claim my third of the space...I reckon there might be room for the 310.

Thanks for the responses. So it basically boils to down to my current living arrangements. I'm lodging in a house at the moment with a couple of others. I don't physically have enough space in my room for my bass amp so it stays at my parents' house 300 miles away. Seems a shame, its not being used and I just borrow a really crappy combo from a friend for gigs. I'm not gigging that much at the moment as I'm mainly playing guitar but I do play maybe twice a month - enough to justify a decent -ish small setup. The thing is I freakin love the sound of the Eden through the UL310! Physiologically I see the Eden as a big amp but in reality that's just because its at a 4U rack with a tuner. Maybe a better option would be to get rid of the rack and tuner and pair it with a smaller cab? I'm guessing the UL1x12 sounds similar to the UL3x10? Chris, you mentioned a barefaced compact. Just did a google search, they seem cool. Maybe its about finding a good 1x12 to go with the eden rather than swapping out completely. If I do get some bigger gigs then I could always add an additional 1x12 later down the line? The eden can run down to 2 ohms too. Just putting thoughts out there has helped. Any other cab recommendations which have a small footprint that sound similar to the UL310? How much do UL310's go for, would be a shame to sell it though, but doubt I could justify the £££ for an additional cab.

Looking to downsize from an Eden WT550b with an Epifani UL310 series 1 to a combo with a similar sound. Obviously I'm going to be pushing less air and I've concieded that I may have to compromise in the tone department a little, but I wish to retain the warmth and clarity of this setup in a smaller (and hopefully cheaper) combo. I've been out of the bass amp gear game for a while so any recommendations would be great!
