Gwilym Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 With out knowing the exact budget, its difficult to gauge what "cheap" is. However, if weight is not too much of an issue, it seems to be a great time to buy quality used bass cabs. Many seem to be downsizing or going down the super-light-weight route, so there always seems to me to be a few bargains to be had on the older heavier (in some cases not so heavy) cabs.

adriansmith247 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Hi everyone thanks for all your input. I think I’ll look out for a more powerful amp and sell what I have. There are a few options on sale now that I am looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basstone Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 How about this? Certainly cheap and Cardiff not too far from Somerset. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145665428180?itmmeta=01HS6SFCCZ9FWP0VNQDH2GCC4W&hash=item21ea560ad4:g:sMEAAOSwPkNl8ta5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwOaGlrG7LxME5a%2B7Y3bSJUHmbjMGfkOuEUSI54EM28JJPVsMk0RwlIZK9vG%2FfSXNg8YtP6Kn8V7kplUdmg9UFNTGxoQtWffcVOZRjOcSLa4KdjNIb21jZiF36AARjDAi4EssY2pqQ8rAQO%2B1aEiiQAAoPuZLzctXB1x4EBzxNg7pE%2B2NCDRsCy7iengSsiZg%2BPpIGP3GhFjaZzFzX1XIlvkdVT2K6UEPjt0ytHB%2F0IGg%2BdlQaT%2BvkqYk9ZAN5WwaeA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR87GvdnJYw Or this one, a bit further away but maybe? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285761416036?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20231107084023%26meid%3Db17d59b990f044f397077bfbd58ad896%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D145665428180%26itm%3D285761416036%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuWithLambda85KnnRecallV1V2V4ItemNrtInQueryAndCassiniVisualRankerAndBertRecallWithVMEV3CPCAutoWithCassiniEmbRecallManual&_trksid=p4429486.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A285761416036b17d59b990f044f397077bfbd58ad896|enc%3AAQAJAAABgLSVkHmTL63bebovD9RfpraPWbY9f4anjbziTIaEIOVXg2DWhVLks3Lfqff9vxxfjIh4XEXusIehlT2iEH8%2BCxXNySMxlDIQJ3g86%2Bx3AAIAq9gznqdGSR72ksP41kjzPN1reUbVsJuld0S4i4qXlQfTmkMeIJTCXTM8mLpr7ju2fMvruDu87ZX%2B4bShOvD%2B4hD%2FWW4%2FELF9ReLe2Iq7fc%2FXx5fy0HaN47NLwpWfT%2B0SiSLSmgMc97%2FzEqC93bMAAu5P4uFN07qLYF5fnYhF7Ek%2BVC%2Bo5E05GzOd8QkeLM95rX4moKjrBolN82MsldZtcGWlaZ0CA36vMmPEQpnEynavJJOv9OQp%2BOmf3b4bW4lno2DER85f3TF7xGqwPLhz3Go7BEJo8Ck96OAzEZzOIvuzWrgRE0JFqPbXstZ20y%2BM75ju1X7peF9Jh7WJz0Lxbk36r81xidwJPgvqD7xV0h1%2FW8BjQkcIZL2DHUEEFUhssrqw53KLhSuFQ97wCTSMqw%3D%3D|ampid%3APLX_CLK|clp%3A4429486&itmmeta=01HS6SHA401ANEFRCB04Y4R0TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstone Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Another, maybe worth looking at. With the two cabs a few options for power / loudness are available. May be open to offers as no bids yet? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235469422986?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3Daad6586018f74384b6687f60a4569d7b%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D264686161346%26itm%3D235469422986%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2351460%26brand%3DGallien-Krueger&_trksid=p2351460.c100667.m2042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I gigged a cheap 300-watt Ashdown MAG series head for years, so I wouldn’t dismiss 250w as too quiet. + 1 on the Genz Benz 212tx. Great cabs, lightweight and about £350 secondhand if you can find one. I wouldn’t bother spending money on boutique niche cabs. Plenty of good reasonable kit out there. Good luck with the quest!

I giiged a MAG 15” combo for years, it was fine then but I would not use it now. The head would be fine with a decent cab. What represents a decent cab is of course a matter of taste. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
