We did a bass cab shoot out a few years ago at the bass bash in Addlestone and out of the ten or so cabs I could have gigged with any of them. If I told you what I would avoid there would be a dozen posts telling you why they were the best cabs in the world! So I'll stick with telling you, in the last 10 years I've used Bergantino and Barefaced and I would recommend either to anyone. With the best one cab solution being a Barefaced. Where are you?

Feel I asked the wrong question to start with, really. My current amp, a 1999 Trace 15" 150W (I think) combo is 61x61 front on, but sounds beautiful and been brilliant at unPAed gigs. I'm really nervous of changing it tbh, given criticisms/inadequacies I read of alternatives. (But the garage is being converted to a little living room etc etc etc...) I don't think you should be getting rid of this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajoten Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Trace. I bypass the graphic, leave pre-shape off, ignore compressor, and it nails it. A smart dust cover and table it can neatly slip under might work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what was really interesting on that one Chris was those cheap Maplin PA cabs that were brought along. About a tenth (maybe twentieth) of the price of some of the cabs there, yet sounded very nice in comparison to their wealthier cousins.

VTypeV4 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Keep the Trace - as clever, compact and light as the TC amps are, I can't see one keeping up with that 715 - irrespective of the apparent 'watts'.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) In the real world, any modern combo isn't going to be much less in size than that trace... maybe a couple of inches at best. Your missus is not going to notice a couple of inches, is she. ? Matron Edited March 31, 2018 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
