wayne58 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I have just downsized my vehicle from a Landrover 110 to a Freelander, in an effort to make gigs a little more profitable considering the ridiculous price of diesel. So my Matamp 610 is reluctantly up for sale. It is in brand new absolutely immaculate ungigged condition having only been used for one rehearsal as I also have a 212 which I have been using for gigs. I will include a new Roqsolid cover. 2,400 Watts @ 8ohms[attachment=108344:P1000518.jpg][attachment=108345:P1000517.jpg] Details from Matamp website Dimensions: 62cm wide x 40cm deep x 92cm high Weight: Average 52kg [b]13 lamination Birch plywood , finished on both sides, exterior bonded (void free)[/b] [b]WBP – Water and Boil Proof.[/b] [b]£550 collected from Preston Lancs[/b] Edited June 19, 2012 by wayne58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 these are the coolest cabs in the universe!! I have a 4x10 in exactly the same livery and its the best cab i have owned. This is a bargain for the 6x10 version. If i had the cash i would be sorely tempted to chop my 4x10 in against one of these. Shouldnt be here long hopefully as it will keep tempting me! Someone buy this monster quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennysFord Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Sorry to jump on this for sale thread, I don't usually do it and try not to...however, Can anyone tell me how this would compare to an Ampeg SVT610 and whilst I'm at it, hows the top end, I notice from the pics that there's no tweeter, it looks that way at least. Cheers. PS, I play Blues......mainly. Edited May 20, 2012 by kennyrodg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne58 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Not a problem I had an Ampeg 410 Hlf and used to turn the tweeter way down or off, at that point I was playing west coast swing type blues with a flatwound strung Fender 'P' though. I think I'm right in saying that Jeff at Matamp isn't a fan of tweeters, especially the ones fitted in standard cabs as they can only really give the really high end sizzle. I haven't gigged with the cab, but at full band rehearsal it certainly wasn't lacking in any department, and I play Blues and R&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Fantastic cabs these, I have a Green one, big, beefy, sounds amazing I would bet whoever buys this will be a happy individual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 i used to have the 410hlf and my matamp 410 owns it! Much tighter bottom end and it pushes some massive air and really sings. I used to turn the tweeter off on my ampeg and im glad this doesnt have one as to me they are pointless as i dont like twingy fizzy stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. PS, I play Blues......mainly. [/quote] Wondering what you need the tweeter for if you're playing blues, but having played these I can say they do have a very bright tight punchy sound, it is a sealed cab so has that snap to it. Very nice and controlled overall. I've never tried the Ampeg 6x10 but I have compared the Matamp 8x10 (which I own) and various Ampeg 8x10's and there is no comparison. Also worth noting the Matamp is a true 8 ohm cab due to the rare 12ohm individual speakers, most 6x10's are like 5.3ohms or something which can cause you some issues if you're running a tube amp.

KennysFord Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Cheers T 2000, The tweeter question wasn't particularly aimed at the "me playing Blues" part, it was just a general question tbh. I could have made that a bit clearer though with how i worded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theozzy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Can anyone in general terms describe how the Matamp cabs sound in general say compared to the Aguilar DB range? (I have a DB410). Is this one with neodymium drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yes I believe it does have the neo speakers, they are a custom set for Matamp to allow them to get a true 8ohm cab instead of the usual 5.333etc 6x10's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
