adzya Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi, Im looking for some advice on cabs which i would pair with an orange terror bass 500. Im really a beginner when it comes to cabs, so im still unsure whether a 410 or a 115 will suit me most. I generally play punk/alternative rock, and i would like to have a cab that has punch and an old school feel. The cabs im currently looking at are: Ashdown ABM 410, Eden Nemesis 410 - however local music shop does not stock this cab Orange OBC115 Any other ideas/ experiences would be great Thanks in advance!

Lozz196 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I`m an old-school type bassist, previous cabs having been Marshall 4x12, and Ampeg 4x10 & 2x10, also playig punk/heavy rock. Had to sell the above, as were just too heavy, contacted The Bass Merchant, as liked the look of the Eden Nemesis 410. On their advice, on it being fairly in keeping with the sound I like, I bought one, and am very pleased with it. The tweeter is nice and smooth, not one of those harsh things that hiss. It`s also fully adjustable (which isn`t on the Eden product description by the way) so can be set to suit. On, it adds some nice highs, making the sound a bit more modern. With it off, the cab sounds very much like my Ampegs, and has a knack of being incredibly present and full in the mix. It`s loud too. With my amp on the same eq settings, using both Ampeg cabs, so getting the full 450 watts at 4 ohms, I had the volume on 3/4. With the Nemesis on its own, so prob getting 300 watts at 8 ohms, I have the amp on 2/3. It`s also light, 52 lbs, and comes with castors - again, not on Edens product description. No experience of the other 2 cabs, but am happy to recommend the Eden Nemesis 410 - my ears, and back, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You'd be wiser to go for 2 2x10 cabs stacked vertically or 2 1x15 cabs as mixing driver sizes isn't a good idea & the normal 4x10 isn't a good speaker layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I know sound-wise two vertically stacked 210s would be the best, however.......... I`ve never been in a band without clumsy people, one at least, but usually more, so it would be inevitable that the stacked cabs would get knocked over (and two 210s would be easy to topple). And I would be displeased with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzya Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Cheers guys for that, I'll have to keep looking for audio clips of the nemesis as I can't find many at all But everything I'm hearing points me in the direction of that one, it sounds good just wish I could try it myself Two 2 10s would be great but I'm only 15 so i don't drive - that's why I'm probably only looking at one cab atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
