Mr. Foxen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Barefaced for looks, vox for tone. Actually the Vox was another bands, my rig is a guitar head and a bass head into separate cabs, my bass has separate outputs for its pickups, so I cover guitar and bass area, and balance them with volumes, and do all sorts of feedback tricks with them.

[/quote] Its much lighter than my other options of guitar cabs. Plus it isn't for dirt, its for a whole guitar worth of sound, both rigs aren't necessarily playing at once.

Slimriddim Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 [quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1359108660' post='1949902'] This is about as subjective as it gets given the wide variety of basses/amps/etc but for me, the Boogie Diesel 2x15. Like the Bass 400 it instantly removed any desire to play through anything else and has been exactly the same for nigh on quarter of a century. It's so good that I continue to drag it around despite all the lighter etc options available because I still get the very same buzz every time I hear it as I did when I very first played through it. [/quote] Same here Steve, had my 2x15 diesel since 1987... The woodwork is shot but only had one recone each since 87 and one time was coz my boy stuck a screwdriver through it! I took a break when I got a Markbass 1x15 and a 2x10 on the top as they are really light.... One day, I decided just to try out the 2x15 Mesa Boogie that had been sitting un-used in my garage for the last year.... well..... Never went back to the Markbass cabs again - sold them in fact. E.V speakers are the dogs... Totally dry and un-coloured, is how I describe them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadven Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Pretty much every rock band in the world tours with Ampeg 810 cabs. The new SVT 810 AV is a killer cab, greats mids that cut through the mix.... and really a bass amp these days is really just a monitor for the musicians on stage.

ebenezer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 perhaps not the best ever but dr bass 2460 three way cab is a tone monster....not the deepest bass but sooo nice my pair of berg 12s are nice but can't quite match 2460....just a shame it weighes 65lbs....still,not as bad as some 410s.....90lbs i suppose its alot like EAD foundation 212.....doesn't look as posh tho.

niceguyhomer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Pretty sure my new-to-me Genz Benz NeoX 2 is the best cab I've ever had. Ridiculously light, loud and punchy as a punchy thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was given an Ampeg 810 and an Ampeg Valve head (an old one - not sure of the model) when we played Gagarin205 in Athens in 2009 That rig was aural heaven for me , My tonal dreams came true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoker Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wouldn't swap my Hartke 4x10 Transporter cab for anything. Goes in the back of my Kia Picanto, not the heaviest cab I've encountered and is built like a tank. Sounds good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viss1700 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) The Epifani UL D.I.S.T. 410 I playing myself through two Epifani 112 D.I.S.T. Cabs and the Epifani UL501. On a big stage i'm to short of power with this setup in a bluesrockband with the dist cabs, and i'm playing through the UL D.I.S.T. 410 and the UL501. A great combination and a huge pressure on stage. For me the ultimate cab. Edited September 3, 2014 by viss1700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Without having to consider weight, storage or portability, or it being too loud. An Ampeg 8x10. But unfortunately that's not a possibility. Meanwhile, the BF super compact, keeps on winning for me ATM. Every time I get a little bout of GAS I use it at a gig or rehearsal and I remember how great it is. I am thinking of getting one of the new retro 2 10 though hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I've had Ampeg 8x10 , Fender 4 x12, Peavey, Hartke, Warwick , GK, Mark Bass, but it's the Barefaced S12T for me & my back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I am currently in favour of a 212 and 210 on top. I run the 212 at 4 and the 210 at 8..but can add another 210 if I want/need to.. and I haven't so far. This rig will produce around 800/950w but I doubt I'll get aware near that and the cabs fill so that is a lot of bass to control. I like the slamming element of the 212 plus the cut of the 210.. I'll have the horns on at least half and I'll be hearing some back through the monitors and P.A but the size of the rig means it will do most of the work for me. Various fills will spread it around abit but I don't need big bass through the monitors and the Sound guys appreciate that... A very common mistake I hear time and time again ( so often it is ridiculous ) is that the bass is loud enough but doesn't drive the band at all. I can pin this down to the basses they use and how they EQ them, but the bottom line is bass should underpin the band and people are so concerned with cutting through the mix... the forget that they should actually have the whole mix sitting on their foundations..and it really shouldn't be mush.. This is why small cabs can run out of steam... in that you EQ them to be heard rather than do the job they really should be for. If you are a powerful band and drums will probably determine this, then you'll need your cab to reach the other side of the stage so your band can hear it..and feel it .and play to it.. and not have a honky squalk.. A decent soundman will not mind power, he will mind any problems that come with it...so this is why you want a loud cab which is there, but not too much THERE that he can't control it. But, it is easier for him to have the bass player playing through a tin can as he doesn't have to deal with that and it wont get out front which is what he mostly cares about. Doesn't always help the band tho.... The default stance tends to be if the band don't know what they are doing... the soundman will make it easy for himself at least and little boxes suit him fine. Most drummers now want a 'kicker' on any sort of stage as it helps them get the whole band stage vibe... and if you hear/feel better, you'll more than likely play better.

neepheid Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I've only ever owned 2 cabs - an Ashdown ABM 4x10 (which I thought sounded great but was rather heavy) and my current Zoot 4x10 (which I think sounds great, is nice and light, but I'm thinking it's a bit bulky). Scheming to replace with 2x1x12 modular rig. But right now my "best" cab is the Zoot. Which of course means a Purple Chili now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
