Marvin Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I bought a Peavey Minimax recently and now need a cab (I sold my last rig 12 months ago, Aguilar TH350 + Schroeder 1212l). I've got £300 available. Second hand can be difficult due to where I live, most cabs seem to be 100 miles away. Occasionally someone will courier a cab, but we all know that's rare and a bit of a faff. I need something compact with a small footprint, just for home and maybe practice rooms, but could eventually do pub/club size sort of gigs. The last amp/combo I used was a borrowed Laney RB 500w with a 15"driver. It kept up with the drummer and 2 guitarists On my list of possible Ashdown RM210t Fender Rumble 210 Markbass Black 151 (would have to negotiate the release of extra hour funds for that 🙂) Markbass NY121 (this one is second hand, but seller is willing to courier). Ampeg PF115LF GK 210MBE-II All opinions gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 As soon as I saw this thread my suggestion was going to be the Ashdown RM210T. I have a pair of them, they sound great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr4stringz Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I had mine paired with a TC Electronic RS212. Not the smallest cab, but not enormous either, and not a backbreaker for weight. Sounds pretty damn good. Gone down the BF route recently so will be moving the TC on actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 If you are price sensitive i wonder why you are considering new? There's a Barefaced 210 in the ads here for £400 which is more than your budget but a lot of speaker for your money and other bargains to be had and that is just here. This person has a couple of TC cabs to sell, you'll need to read the ad but it looks like he may split the bundle if you take one of the cabs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I know it's slightly over your budget but there is a barefaced compact in the classifieds for 325, that would be great with that head (and you could add a midget or another compact at a later date for even more volume.)

Marvin Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I live down in rural Devon. A round trip to even Bristol is +5hrs. Work (I work most weekends now) and family just don't make it feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebadon2000 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Markbass NY121; I have experience with that Cab and know it will do what you need and fits requirements. IMO has great tone and punch and always sounds excellent when I hear it[or 121 combo] in live situations with various Basses, Music types and mixes. Saying that the others may be fine also, Rumble, GK and Ampeg have their dominant sound and are 'OK/Good' in live mixes but always sound like themselves [so to speak] regardless of player, Bass and Music but one 'may be your cup of tea'. Have not heard Markbass 151 or Ashdown 2x10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
