BassAdder60 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hey folks I own the Ampeg SVT212AV cab and two Ashdown ABM210H cabs Both setups are good I use my CTM100 head with the two ABM cabs and the Ampeg I use at rehearsals as a single cab So what can I change to give me less cabs ( storage reasons ) but more speakers and still sensible carry weight etc ? Must be suitable for my CTM head to sit upon and sound good of course !! Ideas ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Sell the Ampeg and use one 2x10 at rehearsals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Agreed. Use one 2x10 at rehearsals and both, stacked on their ends for a vertical 4x10 to gig with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Could see if a Barefaced 410 or 610 does what you need? The 410 seems to be a bit lighter than one of the Ashdown cabs on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 8 ohm versions of a 212 and a 210. Use single or together as required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible as that sounds but we play loud at rehearsals ( typical gig volume ) so both cabs 210 needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) One 8ohm 210 , or an amp that can drive 2,4 Ohm. Win/win IMO Edited December 1, 2022 by Bolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Sell the ampeg, then use the ashdowns. Then get bored off the ashdowns then buy another ampeg. Then get bored of the ampeg, and re buy the ashdown...... and repeat... the amount of times I've had an ashdown rig, sold it, bought it back, sold it, bought another, sold it..... I think I've had 4 ABM 600s already, and it still doesnt compute that I like them better than what I replace them with.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 4 ohm GR Bass AT212. Light as most 2x10, loud as a 4x10, great sound, no shortage of volume, just turn down if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love a good 212 though. Zilla might make a slightly wider one for you as a custom order. I adore my Bass Fatboy. Plus it's around 25kg.

Yep I’m not keen on amp over hang !! I’ve used Zilla guitar cabs but never considered them for bass cabs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Put the amp on the floor with a couple of battens placed on top to hold the cab clear of the vents. No more overhang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) This: The solution to all your cab needs - compact, light and powerful (450w) - the "w" stands for "wedge". Sits nicely on top of your existing cabs and TBH a ridiculously low price for this cab. Edited December 2, 2022 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 2x12 shifts a lot of air. I’d sell everything and get a new, modern 2x12 that’s lightweight, louder & better than the ampeg and you can use for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important point is it’s wide enough for the head too and a decent height for a single cab Edited December 4, 2022 by BassAdder60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
