Mr. Foxen Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 They sound pretty similar, just each has a little bit more and one end an a bit less at the other. Together, they reinforce the overlap because they act the same there, and you get the bit more at both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1336212393' post='1642504'] Most gigs with a bass player on a 15 will have that typical sound..and it may not be that good...will struggle to keep focus..will put out decent volume or more but will be too unsutble when the bass is being pushed [/quote] Those using Barefaced Big One 15 + 6.5 mid range or Greenboy 15/6 fEARful designs would probably disagree. I find the two 15s in Barefaced Dubster just amazing, clarity, subtlety and detail. The best bit is it maintains from quiet to ground shaking volume. As ever with all things speaker, try them, and then try at the volume you will be using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSix Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1336219217' post='1642645'] Anyone know what would work well with a Promethean given that the ext. cabs are impossible to get hold of? [/quote] I have a Promethean and I would suggest you first try it as a standalone for smaller gigs and rehearsals, then use the head with your 4ohm 212 for bigger gigs and 500W. The Promethean extension cabs are still available: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ibanez-promethean-p110c-speaker-cabinet/48939"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ibanez-promethean-p110c-speaker-cabinet/48939[/url] or, if you're feeling flush, a Barefaced Midget works well.

thebuckets Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I rang gak they're not in stock and they're waiting for a date of a delivery so that might not even happen. Anyone else used a midget with a promethean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cheers that's my plan at the moment. Just wondered if there was a smaller lightweight cab to add to get a similar sound to the 212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
