    I have a few Ibanez SR basses. Even the mahogany bodied versions are so thin front to back that they are very lightweight. The cheaper models in the SR range are even lighter in my experience. To be blunt if an SR is too heavy for you it's time to consider packing in or going Kala uke bass ☺

    [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1458741517' post='3010394'] Volume has a lot more to do with the number of speakers than the power of the amp. I reckon 2 x 12 inch speakers driven by 180 watts will be louder than 1 x 12 driven by 250 to 300 watts. Adding another cab sounds good sparky, but thats a big stack for a mere 180 watt output [/quote]
  6. Sparky Mark
    You are probably only getting around 120 watts out of the combo without an extension cab. I found adding another cab made it giggable (twice as loud to my ears).

    I had a EB180-12 combo and it sounded so sweet that I built a 1x12 extension cab to get the full 180 watts out of it. It was giggable and fuelled my love of 12" cabs.

    Thank you Peter type bump.

    [quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1458557699' post='3008481'] It's OK my 250w head is way under his 400w cab (?) [/quote] Unfortunately it's not that simple. A 400 watt rated cab can easily be destroyed by a 250 watt amp. There are plenty of threads on here and Talkbass about this so I guess we shouldn't clog this for sale thread with more discussion.

    [quote name='patrikmarky' timestamp='1458546273' post='3008367'] Hi I don't think there is .....your welcome to come and try .... [/quote] Probably not a good idea to invite someone to attempt putting their amp's full oomph into your relatively small cab whatever its thermal rating.

    SOLD - Price drop to £400! Yoiks!! This was my first Markbass cab purchase and the best large cab I have owned. With my LM3 delivering its full output into 4 ohms it shifts a massive amount of air and can handle outdoor stages and marquee gigs beautifully. So why am I selling? Well, I managed to buy a car that I can't fit it in (doh!) and it really is too much for my pub covers bands. It's Italian made, in excellent condition and comes with fitted Silverstone cover and transport dolly. Price: £[s]485[/s] £400 collected from Hertford, Hertfordshire, UK. Thanks for looking.

    Way back in the good old days before I found Basschat and developed incurable GAS, I only had two cabs. These were the Hartke 115XL and 410XL. Most of the time I only gigged the 15 and it sounded beautifully deep but also punchy and even slap cut through as clear as you'd like. And it was a much easier schlep than the 90lb 410.

    The Hartke LH1000 is only £360 brand new. Stick a more flexible EQ pedal or 1U rack preamp in front of it and it will blow your walls down!
  22. Sparky Mark
    Hartke LH1000 will give you a massive bang for your buck and can drive two 4 ohm cabs as long as you can get on with the fender style tone stack EQ.

    The comparison I performed was using the same amp and bass guitar with identical settings into the different cabs. The only variable is the pair of cabs. Absolutely the AEs are different designs to the HT and EX. The AEs are rear ported whilst the HT and EX are front ported. The A to B test was to compare the sound of the different cabs whilst everything else remains constant. That is an A to B test in my book. Anyhow the HT and EX cab had a much stronger deep bass given the same setting of the amp. We're heading towards the definition of heft me thinks.☺

    The only moving parts are the voice coil, spider and cone which are probably very similar. In fact the neo may well have a longer voice coil to accommodate the longer excursion. I am guessing now though.
  25. Sparky Mark
    That says to me that neos will move more air before breaking up but not that the character of the sound will be different. The thing you do notice especially with the yellow cones is the long excursion but the HT and EX will go just as loud perhaps with a bit more output from the amp.
