AinsleyWalker Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Looking to buy a 2x10 cab. Perhaps Ashdown? Not particularly experienced with cabs so any offers/advice welcome Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Budget? What head are you using? What style do you play? There's quite a lot of 210s out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see if anyone had any particular recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 If you're already using a combo, and are just getting an extension cabinet it's usually best to get a matching one. It's not like a set in stone rule or anything though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4x10 might be a bit big, and awkward to carry up and down stairs to my uni accomodation in the autumn, so I was looking into 2x10s instead Edited April 11, 2011 by AinsleyWalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 In that case I'd look into some of the awesome lightweight cabs that are going around at the moment. For example the Markbass 102HF is an easy one hand lift and they go very loud! Really nice clear tone too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 There's a bloke selling one of the older vesions without the yellow speakers here for a very good price of £325, well within your budget!

ThomBassmonkey Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 If you can stretch up to £500, that's quite a nice budget for a 2x10 (and you probably won't need more than that if you're only playing small gigs), or even a 2x12 cab. Without knowing what kind of sound you're after, it doesn't really narrow it down still though. There's nothing wrong with the Ashdown cabs that would match that head, but I think if you're working with a £4-500 budget, you could definitely do a lot better. As always, I'll recommend GK gear if you can get anywhere to try it out. The NEO210 is about £400, the NEO212 and the 210RBH are about £500. Any of those would do you fine for a gig, the neo gear is fairly lightweight (it's not uber lightweight for neo gear, but it's not heavy compared to the RBH cabs) and they all sound awesome IMO. I currently use two 410RBHs and hopefully I'll have some NEO212s turning up next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinsleyWalker Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Haha I just don't really have one particular style I play. I play a MusicMan Stingray if that helps at all, I like a bright sound. Well I could spend more if I saved, I just don't particularly want to as it would only be for like I said, small gigs, practising etc as I'll be busy with Uni stuff. Cheers for the recommendations I'll check them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 When I was buying my Eden Nemesis 410, the other 410 I was looking at was TC Electronic - to match my amp - but these were described to me as very clear and bright sounding. There`s a lot of lurve on here at present for TC Electronics, so may be worth checking out their 210s, sounds like they are what you`re looking for.

JTUK Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 FWIW, I think a 2x10 as a standalone is not the best cab. It would be far too easy to drive it too hard. Unless you really do mean you are doing quiet gigs If you must have a 210..get a beefy Eden XLT SH. If you must only have one cab, then the NEO 212 looks interesting and in budget.

dmccombe7 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm looking to sell my Ashdown gear if you are interested. I have a 2x10 deep which is approx 2 yrs old and never been gigged - only used at a couple of rehearsals (2off) Quite heavy cab hence reason I haven't used it much. In mint condition. Looking for £100. Not advertised as yet but was planning to put in the for sale section this weekend. If interested let me know and I'll send some pics. I have used it with an Ashdown MAG300 1x15 combo or Warwick ProFet IV. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
