brownjar Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Right my main bass is a 5 string yamy just downsized from a 4 x 10 " and 1 x 15" hartke 400 w stack and want to go for something like a 2 x 10" or 2 x 12" wedge combo. but cant find many and want to keep the quality of Hartke, ampeg, etc. i still have the 1 x 15" so i can always expand with that, and becuase the 5 string is so fat anyway i need the tightness 2 x 10" or 2 x 12" will give me. anyone got any advice on what to go for, or to make my own?

Kiwi Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you can handle the weight, I would suggest a GK RB700 combo. Loud, crisp and clean plus it has a growl knob if you need it. I would still have mine if it was lighter. I had mine with an 210RBH cabinet (which actually sounded very similar to the 1x15) and it was too loud for most gigs I did. Didn't break into a sweat with the B on my 5 strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Markbass CMD102p. I replaced my 500w Hartke/Ashdown stack with it a couple of years ago. Brilliant! loud and Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a little unsure at first that it could deliver as backline on the bigger stages but it's working out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 +1 on the GK. Haven't Hartke just released a 2 x 10 Hy-Drive wedge combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices have been very reasonable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using it last night & still can't get over how it pumps out the really low frequencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
