[quote name='bass_ferret' post='153241' date='Mar 7 2008, 05:13 PM']My thoughts are you are going to struggle to get lightweight gear for that money unless you are playing really small venues.[/quote] I thought people on here were doing small gigs with the Mark Bass 121P! which is £610 I already have my large rig but its just them gigs when you know there will be a smallish crowd.

Hi Budget up to £600 bit cheaper would be nicer but it has to be light weight (around 12Kg and under) Di'ing - No its mainly for those smaller gigs where a very small P.A. would be used, i.e. pub size 50 people jobby

Hi all which do you think is the best option: Genz Benz STL3.0-10T - Pros: Removable head can be used for other larger cabs - Cons: Probably can't cope with med gig Markbass CMD121P - Pros: More powerful unit - Cons: head is not removable Any thought? Ta

Ahh I see, very clever way of making you not take it out, shame.

Does anyone know if you can remove the head from these units, as that would make the 121P very good for the money.

Cheers Mottlefeeder, but I really need to travel light as I can as I walk to this place which is about 1.5 miles and even a 10kg amp with bass can be hard work, well for weedy me that is. Does anybody play acoustic bass here with acoustic guitars? any ideas?

Having to do quiet practices with an acoustic guitar, took along my standard bass with a mini boss recorder and headphones but that's no good as guitarist didn't know what I was playing. There is no power in the room so I am looking at either an cheap acoustic bass or a very small battery powered amp, but.... worried incase the acoustic bass would be drowned out and also the only battery amp I can see is the new Roland Cube RX but its not out until April/May. What do you reckon would be the best option? PS. sorry if this is in the wrong forum, thought it was more to do with monitoring

I have 2 Geddy Lee Fender Jazz basses reason being they are so playable, very fast neck, you get this really nice deep tone which I haven't found in any other Jazz, you wouldn't do wrong buying new at the price they are. Out of interest does anyone know what other Fenders have this slim neck?

Spoke to Mike the other day, he doesn't trade in Tecamp or have any Tech gear in stock. Just had a look at Tecamp website it does have one at 32Kg but no dealers in the Uk.

Warwickhunt you are right, you must know the scenario doing more trips to the car is so annoying and also having to lock up car and go back and back. The dream is the one trip, I reckon I could stick a bass on my back with a smaller bag with Markbass head and leads/pedals in and I could do it. Your cab is not in production anymore and I so would love it as its the lightest 6x10 on the market, easily push it along with bag on back. So next option was these cabs I mentioned as to next best option.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='145262' date='Feb 22 2008, 06:57 PM']None of these cabs are really a one hand lift. Why cant you carry a GS112 in each hand or are they too heavy for that?[/quote] Sorry didn't mean a one hand lift, I meant both hands lifting cab, with the 2 Aggies you can carry them both but I find 1 cab is easier as both Aggies are 19Kg each and normally the 4x10's are around 26Kg, every little helps.

Still going to be looking into this as its so much dosh I have to take my time. Think it looks like I have nailed it down to: 1 Markbass 104HF I like the way it goes to 35Hz and slightly cheaper than most cabs 2 Epifani 104UL Seems like a really popular cab but a bit expensive 3 Schroeder 21012L a nice combination of speakers in one cab but a little pricey 4 Schroeder 410L good reviews but pricey 5 Bergantino EA410 similar to Epifani but a little cheaper I really did want a 6x10 but know that for a one man lift its too much. Also wondering what price would I be looking at for 2x Aguilar GS112 cabs in mint condition! Reason needing one cab that can be lifted by one man with bass on shoulder, be good enough to cut through a loud guitar driven band and has good bottom end. Thanks for all your help look forward to hearing your views Ash

Just reading this thread and am intrigued about the Roland Micro Cube RX, loved the spec of this little amp but then wattage 2.5 erm is this really loud enough even for bedroom practice?

Ahhh there it is.... drool. Glad you have broken it in at last.. now look into my eyes look into my eyes not around the eyes your under... you now want to sell this lovely cab to me. Nah I wish its a beaut. Do you know if you can buy Tech in this country anymore or as they are now Tecamp or something like that?

I think for me the Epi 410UL 4ohm is king for me at the moment, as it seems to tick most boxes, or I wish I had that Tech 6x10 I have seen on here, very neat. Them Schroeder 1212L seem unreal very nice cab, would love to give it a go especially if they did a 4ohm version, thats got to be the most compact gigging rig I have seen. cetera - I would snap your hand off at that price but I know the weight of that baby its got some great sound have played through one before and I am very shocked it hasn't sold. dave_bass5 - What do you prefer the Epifani cabs or Schroeder cabs?

Noisedude, I had that Behringer head as a back up to my Ashdown head a couple of years back, I lent it to a friend for a year who did around 80 gigs with it I also did 20 gigs with it between saving for next amp. It really was pretty good workhorse for me and good for a backup, I know there are a lot of bad comments on here about it , but maybe I was lucky, not much in the tonal area and also that damn awful boost button but I think you should be ok, but like we all say everyone is different. If you can afford it go for a Markbass Little Mark 2 Head they really are fantastic! I use an MB LMK which to me is so so good.

I did see that cab but would like to have a 4ohm to be honest, thanks for the heads up.

Does sound good, looks like I am following you on the one cab solution, not that the Aguilars are bad far from it, I just feel less trips to the car is always good. Still find it hard to believe that 3x10s is gonna cut the mustard but then again looking at all these reviews Epifani are doing something right. Wow Epifani 212 NYC must be very, very good!
