CameronJ Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1503500324' post='3358757'] Slightly off topic but I can't help wondering why the 2x8 cab is sooooo expensive compared to the amp and the 1x10??!! [/quote] I too have wondered this and despaired as the 2x8 cab is the only thing I'd be interested in from the new range... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I may be talking out my arse here but is it that expensive compared to a Bareface cab, Cameron if you want a 2 x 8 Fender did a V2 light weight if you can find one second hand http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-rumble-2x8-bass-speaker-cabinet, I've got one and I'm well happy with it.

TheGreek Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I managed to get a [b]second[/b] set of TE lightweight 8" PA speakers recently for £40 inc P&P - weigh in at about 5lbs each - I have a cab for them to go in but this is no lightweight - looking for one that is.

[/quote] True, and I suppose I could find a TC BG250 208 which would be more useful to me than just the cab anyway, not to mention cheaper and available used.

la bam Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) I think they're different drivers in the trace cabs? The 1x10 and 2x8 are different from each other. Are they the faital ones in the 2x8? Edited August 23, 2017 by la bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not exactly - I was advised [b]yesterday[/b] that they're here in the UK. They will need to be sent out from the distributors, B&M, to shops (Bass Direct in my case) then shipped from there. I'm hoping it arrives with me early next week...
