warwickhunt Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Another of my failed, ill conceived excursions into getting something that is half the weight of what I already own but with the same/better quality of tone... possibly not the best sales line ever! In all fairness this will blow someone away but it's just not my cup of tea. I'd rather do a trade for something interesting but of course I'll take an offer of cash, just PM me. I'd possibly be interested in a nice lightweight bass (nothing over 9lb) and for the right instrument I could put cash forward. I'd also be interested in an amp or cab(s) but they are going to have to offer something that my TF/Aggie rig doesn't already have; i.e. lighter weight, superior specs. Whatever I take as trade I've got to stand a fighting chance of turning it back around on here without hemorrhaging value... because you just know I'm not gonna keep it.

My GS112 cabs sounded great (I still miss the Aguilar sound) but they were just too heavy for me and a “one handed lift”. I changed them for the Bergantino cabs and couldn’t be happier.

Musicman20 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Both those rigs look absolutely awesome together. Id love it...but I seriously should not buy any more amps. Im turning into Tom Bowlus, (yet hes got the lawyers job, im still trying to get into a firm). Whats a rough ball park figure you'd want cash wise?

It's just that I transport gear to gigs in my estate car and with everything that I already carry; x2 Aggies, TF, Pedalboard, Gramma Pad, Bag of leads, Guitar stands, x1 bass guitar PLUS 75% of our bands PA inc' x2 RCF mid/tops, Flightcased Mixing desk, Flightcased effects, BIG bag of leads and assorted bits, box containing x2 iColors lights and associated controllers and cables... carrying a trolley just adds to the bulk. However, as you say carrying a trolley might be one more thing but it would make moving stuff easier. I think I'll look again into what's available and how small they can fold down.

My other band has loads more lights, smoke, monitors etc. but luckily it all miraculously turns up to gigs in a big van and I just turn up with my bass gear!

Lew-Bass Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) How about a trade for the 210 combo? It's a Kg lighter Edited November 22, 2009 by Lew-Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Kg lighter [/quote] Nice try. The thing with the 2x12 is that aside from the fact that it is only 1kg heavier, it actually comes equipped with its own built in 'tilt-and-roll' caster system... not sure that the 210 has that! Saying that; at this weight the 2x12 combo inc 500w amp weighs the same as ONE of my Aggie 1x12 cabs and is an easy one handed lift by either the top handle or one of the side recessed handles.

The specs are literally the same AFAIK, apart from weight, and also the speaker frequencies are bound to be slightly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
