krazy_olie Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi guys, too long since I've posted here. Essentially I don't like my cab - Ashdown MAG 115, it is massive and while can produce thundering sounds can lack highs as well so I want rid of it. I'm running this with a warwick profet III (the original German one). I'm just wondering if I should move to a combo or just get a smaller/lightweight cab, probably a 112?. I can't see my cab fetching much money so to upgrade just the cab might work out more expensive than a combo but I don't really know how much my stuff is worth so I'm rather confused . I don't know if I should sell then buy or part exchange as well In terms of combos i have my eyes on the Ibanez promethean and the hartke 112c, I don't really know what cab options are available to me, presumably the cab equivalents of these models? don't really want to spend more than £250 after sales of current stuff (or thing), but will do if it's really worth it. I'm leaning towards the combo idea mostly for compactness, but I do like my amp and would be a shame to let it go without good reason. Suggestions and thoughts welcome! Cheers, Olie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Get a MAG 210 to complement the 115? Plenty of change from £250. You'll gain the option to use one, or the other, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You like the amp and money is tight so just get another cab. You can downsize in size or weight. I'd go for weight reduction and look at a Barefaced Compact. It's light, loud and will get the most out of your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hmm, difficult one - a 2x10 will have better highs, but probably not have enough depth on its own for most. I think a single speaker, unless you`re looking at higher priced makes, is unlikely to give the performance you`re after. I think the suggestion of adding in a 2x10 to what you currently have makes sense, or maybe have a look at this [url="http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.php?product_id=450&category_id=2"]http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.ph...p;category_id=2[/url] 2x12, with tweeter, 104db sensitivity, power handling of 400 watts. £339.00 The 4x10 in this range only weighs 52lbs, so the 2x12 would be lighter. Sell the Ashdown 1x15 cab, get the best of 10s and 15s, in one cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
