Adding another cab to my rig suggestions please

[BassYerbouti]

I've got a trusty Orange Terror Bass 500 and SP212 cab.

This had been fine for the size of pubs etc I've played in and compact enough to be my practice rig.

I'm playing in a much louder rock band now and looking for more thump in the low end.

I was thinking of adding another lightweight cab rather than replace the SP212 with something bigger.

I'm looking for recommendations for a 1x15 8ohm cab that would partner well with my set up and not break the bank or my back please?

 

Thanks for all suggestions.

If you need a second cab the best advice is to get another one the same as the cab you already have.

That's good advice 👍

Normally I'd agree there, but...the SP212 isobaric configuration means that while it has two twelves it only has the output of a one twelve. A proper 212 will give the OP what he needs, save the SP212 for those gigs where it's enough on its own.

A proper 112 goes very loud loud and low these days. Check Barefaced and Lsys.

Get a 2nd hand GenzBenz Neox212.... or a new LFSys Monaco. Both can be used on their own and will likely sound louder/better....

I'm using an LFSys.co.uk Monaco. 60 litres, 14kg, 600w. It goes very loud and you get plenty of low end. 

There are other spec LFSys cabs available and using a pair of 10" Monza or Goodwood cabs would give a very versatile rig.

 

Remember that these aren't "normal spec" drivers and the cabs and x-overs are high end and designed specifically for delivering what we need as bassists. We're rapidly moving away from the 10" drivers sound like this, 12" drivers sound like that mentality of the past. Some of us attended a blind comparison of speakers/drivers recently and the results were very eye-opening. 

 

My amps are barely ticking over at stupid volumes through the Monaco in decent sized venues but the most important factor with these is that you can hear yourself beautifully from any angle because the dispersion is so wide and high.
