NJE Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have a NS NXT and need something relatively small and compact to amplify it but I keep going round and round in cicrles trying to decide what to get. Just to set the scene, I have already have a EBS Reidmar and EBS Neo 410 for my main band but the cab stays at the studio and I cant be bothered moving it to use at smaller gigs and at home with the upright. The Reidmar comes home from practice as its a little easier to lose and steal, but never gets used at home. I will be travelling a bit with the upright so I want something small amplification wise. I will only be playing the upright in an acoustic trio and at some point we may take on a bit of percussion so dont need massive power. We intend to have a PA for gigs but it wont be massive, so Ideally whatever amp I get will need to be able to cope as backline in bars/small rooms competing only with one acoutic guitar and vocals. I have a rough budget of £250 but I cannot decide whether to get a cab for the Reidmar or just get a small one hand lift combo. The options are: 1. A cab for the Reidmar - Genz Benz Focus cab, or A EBS Classic 1x10 cab (or a Aggie 1x12 etc) 2. A combo - EBS Session 60, or something like a Gallien Krueger MB112 Both have plus and minus points which is why I cant decide....Anyone got any other good suggestions? what would you do, Cab with a head or Combo? Has anyone here used a Session 60 or Reidmar with EUB? I cant make my mind up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Personally, I'd get a 10 or 12" lightweight cab to go with the Reidmar. Even in an acoustic trio, you might struggle with a 60W amp (I certainly would). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
