Cat Burrito Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I always use one cab, a 1x15. I'd like to have a 4x10 to go with it but until I can pay a roadie I prefer to keep it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Money no object? Would probably be an EBS or MESA 4x12 if money, space transport were all taken care of! In a practical getting gear in the back of a car, I would take a good 2x12, Aguilar, Bergantino, Glock or one of the two aforementioned names. That said, I'm not going to actually be buying any amp gear for quite a while, so I won't actually be getting any of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnzgerman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 i find my ampeg SVT 6x10 works quite well, but it is quite big:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwilym Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 After gigging my ACME Low-B2 I can't really see what else can come close. It's similar in tone/air movement as a Trace stack of 2 large 1x15 cabs that I once played through at a rehearsal studio. I couldn't believe it when the ACME sounded like that. So much (clean) bottom end extension I've actually had to dial out some bass. Very responsive to EQ, but I've pretty much been playing with bass & amp EQ set flat. It is power hungry, but it's all about the tone right?! If I ever need another cab, I'll be looking for another Low B2 to stack on this one.

Fraktal Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 A 15" plus horn, I prefer it to 2x12" or 4x10" because I love when I push the 15" too much and it starts to fart... Power-wise I would say 300-500w. Almost any quality monitor, active or passive with a 15" and a horn and I am happy, the flatter the response the better.

gilmour Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 If I had to use a single cab.... I do, and I've got tonal Nirvana another +1 for the BFM Omni15TB [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11971"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11971[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_l_perry Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) The Omni 15 is a [i]fantastic [/i]sounding cab, but size is a factor for me, so on balance [i]Probably [/i]the Schroeder 1212L. Its small, loud and light, holds its re-sale value well, and sounds great (to me at least). Edited October 7, 2009 by david_l_perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayfan Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use a 4-ohm Warwick 4x10. Not the smallest or lightest of cabs but does the job nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Not sure, have Genz Benz 212 which is ace but I think the Epifani 310 has been the best sounding cab I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 If I only used one cab, I might as well be playing ska. One 4x15 is insufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 [quote name='lanark' post='618676' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:38 PM']Either a money's no object, or if you're short on cash and can only afford a single cab, which would be the best use of that one box for all occasions?[/quote] Can only comment on the latter & chose a Barefaced Big Juan. Presented with the former situation, I'd get another or maybe even commission a Double Big Juan ™ to sit under the Matamp I'd also commission.

thumperbob 2002 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Schroeder 1212L and 1515L- why have one when you can have two- very light and fit in the boot of my car easy- any one can be used on its own but together.....................Massive. Picking them up- the 2 x15 is lighter than the 1212L- feels like a cab without speakers fitted. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have lifted a 1212L - take away what the horn weighs- thats the 1515L. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
