I am a bass guitarist (Fretless Jazz) with 13 piece Jazz Band. Need clarity, depth, power, volume.
Have old Trace Elliot GP11 - no longer good enough and too heavy at my age! (Note: Have Ashdown spare Head Amp but will buy new high tech 500W - 1000W head amp as required to suit new speaker cabs.)
I will soon add an Ibanez UB840 Double Bass into the band and must have speaker cabs to manage this too.
For compactness & light weight, I was considering:
Hartke Hydrive HD112 300W Bass Guitar Speaker Cabinet - 200W-349W
1 X 15". 483 x 381 x 406. 35Hz-17kHz.
+
Hartke HyDrive HL210 500W Bass Guitar Speaker Cabinet - 500W-749W
2 x 10". 371 x 612 x 383mm. 50Hz-17kHz
Total: 700W-1098W
However, I have just come across bad reviews on BassChat for Hartke. Then I found Bareface Audio.
My car boot has a depth limit of 400mm, but I can use a van if I really have to. Objective is compact / lightweight / hi-tech / reliable Cabs/Speakers with the most amazing tonal range / depth capability to underpin a large band.
Can Bareface meet my specific requirements? Or would you guys recommend an alternative make?
