Count Bassie Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looking at a Peavey Pro 810 cab, which is a sealed box. I hear, and have ecperienced that a ported cab brings out more lows than a sealed type. Any thoughts here on it? I wonder if the larger bank of 10s would bring more of an impression of depth, even in a sealed enclosure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timhiggins Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have used ampeg 8x10 sealed cabs for reggae when they are supplied as backline on festival stages and they sound great personally i opt for seperate 1x15's so that i can have one or two depending on how much volume is required.

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Raggae isn't about deep lows, it's about humped midbass. That's what sealed cabs deliver and why the SVT has always been the benchmark raggae cab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassie Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks for the replies, very helpful! I've been looking at a Peavey Pro 810 or a flatback Ampeg 810. Trading a GK Neo 212-II for it. I'll be playing outside this summer, so the big-box will earn it's keep, I figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassie Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Love the giant speaker/ enclosure there, Markstuk! That would do it for the festival circuit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've seen Aston Barrett using Ampeg 810's and Eden 410's. I know several reggae bass players on the club and pub circuit using BF Super Compacts. I use my SC's when I dep for them. You don't need excessively low bass for Reggae, just a full and fat sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
