Which bass cab and amp do I need for a small studio?
sifi2112 replied to EgorI's topic in Amps and Cabs
As most people are going ‘featherweight’ you could go the other way & get the (older) heavy stuff as there’s a lot of great quality gear going pretty cheap coz no one wants to lug it not a problem for you if it stays put in your studio. Just make sure if you go combo you can unplug the speaker so you have the option of try different amps (or cabs) & maybe look for quiet fans or convection cooling if mixing at low volume. Also, cranking a small amp might be desirable opposed a large powerful amp .. just my 2c -
That 1001rb head is said to be too powerful to get the classic GK growl (I’ve only had 700 & 400) but might if you’re having to drive the 210 hard (don’t blow it) .. the price definitely looks good if all’s working well

Yeah sounded fab at rehearsal.. Darkglass B7K driving it a bit a harder & had some volume spare, was at maybe 80% so it passed the stage level requirement. However it wasn’t as easy to move with the castors as I’d hoped so I’ve now added a top strap / little plastic corners & replaced heavy castors with rubber feet as I’ve got a telescopic sack cart to move it. Unfortunately there’s still just one down side it just too heavy to gig regular for me. I keep all my gear on 2nd floor. I’m guessing around 35kg as it feels similar to my Bagend 212 which weighs that much .. the ply I used is quite heavy but real quality & I maybe over built it a bit. The GK weighs 6kg so I could put a super light class D in ... still it looks good & more importantly sounds great !

Given away - large pro quality flight case, not sure of weight but decent for its size, 12kg ? no scales, heavy duty castors (2 locking), foam interior for original equipment it was made for but could be either removed/added to or cut down. Hex Astro type board. Too big to post .. I’ve tried to get all measurements in photos. Width & depth slight different hence the extra pic with tape measure

I’ve tried a few including a onespot but this gets my vote as quietest so far .. https://booinstruments.com/guitar-effects/raad-regulated-9vdc-power-supply-replacement-for-boss-psa-240-psa-230/

Well actually ‘old’ amp but new cab (combo) .. I decided to build combo for my Gallien-Krueger 400RB II & put in a new 4 Ohm Faitalpro 15PR400 speaker to maximize the full output of the GK .. Big thanks to Stevie for all his help (and patience) cheers mate !

Great to do another deal with Will .. been too long .. he was also kind enough to indulge me & let me try various quality gear he has. Deal with confidence guys

SOLD - DIY cab I built out of 12mm ply (baffle is 24mm). It was originally for a Faitalpro 15pr400 but I’ve replaced it with a speaker from a Harley Benton HB300 combo. Faital to now be used in a new cab (combo) as I want to install my amp & make a combo .. unless you really want the Faital as well lol ... Anyway, the cab sounds pretty good, doesn’t have a tweeter & is 8 Ohms, also not heavy but I don’t have scales to way .. not gonna post at this price, I’m in Bingley West Yorkshire btw

> Mooer E-lady > One Control Mosquito > (wet loop) Moog MF Delay (Zander Little Monster to ramp oscillations/feedback & wet loop volume knob to keep it under control & trails) > Darkglass B7K > DI &/or amp ... Mono lite just squeezes into Thomann case

Just had a listen ... nice one Andy -
Another nice transaction with George so deal with confidence guys

Bummer .. hope somebody finds it coz it ain’t gonna be easy flogging as it’s pretty unique ..

I’ve used their guitar pocket amp the same way for a few years for bass & it is really good for practice & play along with iPhone etc .. bet the bass version is better .. only thing I’d say regarding your review is that you could actually show how it sounds .. I do realise it was just a ‘quick ‘ review tho
-
Having your own 8 Ohm cab isn’t a bad idea however I’ve read many times that mixing different speakers, even the same size, is a bit of a gamble .. I had a similar dilemma as I (my amp) also likes a 4 Ohm load so I built my own. Not sure where you are but you’re welcome to trial my 8 Ohm 112 cab I have to see if it gives you the added heft ... If I had the cash I’d probably just get a Barefaced TWO10 (4 Ohm) or something similar & hope the sound guy doesn’t mind you using your own cab lol

Tried some of the above (Wizard nice, dimarzio less so) plus a few others incl fender cs 60’s nice & fender stacked not so, sd quarter pounders loud but less character than wizards I had a time .. read up loads on talkbass & was gonna get aero 1’s as they get best recommendations for ‘growl’ that I’m after however I opted for some bare knuckle 60’s pe as I really like their guitar pups & got a good deal off eBay on some used ones .. so glad I did coz they are fab ! Even my luthier commented on them when he put them in my bass & he sees tons of basses just my 2c
