[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1468825634' post='3093491'] I recon you are over thinking this. You keep mentioning the tone you want and the only way you'll find this is by listening. Most of us can get by with a good 210 so anything bigger than this should be capable enough. You have a rig that works so there is no rush. Take your time and go out ands listen to as many rigs as you can and try them out in shops when you have time. Keep going until you find the tone monster you are looking for. The trouble is that all the words we use for describing sound are so vague. Heft anyone? [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more. All I know is that my current cab is the equivalent of a HE cab, designed to be used with a 15 of so,ethic for low end. I really need the "depth" that something equivalent in spec to a HLF. The only thing I can think is front porting?/ tweeter? I'd quite like a 210 but. It if I don't get that depth that I want. And I don't see why not as long as I get the right thing, I just don't know what qualifies. I have seen the next Orange 210 mini but doesn't look that substantial on spec

I'll basically consider any cab as long I know I can get the sound I want from it and I k ow will handle the kind of volumes well. I'm not sold on a 410 specifically, if a 210 would give me what I need them great. The reason for my post is really my concerns that it won't. And my thoughts have been to over spec at every stage. The last thing I want it a crap sounding 210/212 because I'm pushing it too hard. Portability isn't massively important. We will always have a van and a couple of hands to help regardless of this I don't want to go down the 610/810 route. Although I could gig with the studios 810 if I wanted

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1468753766' post='3093056'] Well the reviews on the BF210 are pretty encouraging, however those Fender twins are ridiculously loud. I`ve no doubts a Terror and BF210 will be loud enough, but will there be the depth of sound that you need? I`d probably be looking at the BF410 (or any other good 410) for this. More speakers give that depth to the sound that some equate to volume but its just a bigness which enables to the sound to have a constant presence. [/quote] Thanks, some solid advice. I got to gigs a lot and see 210 combos all over the place and smaller cabs (112/ 212) but with my experience of trying stuff like that (especially with markbass) it just doesn't sound as "big". I suppose I have two sets of issues. Will I get the sound I want and will it compete with the guitars. I know a 410 is the answer really but I don't want to be one of those bands who think they're bigger than they are. I was in bar last night and saw the load in for the venue downstairs which was two Marshall MG30 practice amps!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1468750625' post='3093031'] Having just bought a Barefaced Two10, I'm going to strongly suggest you try one. Then I'm going to run away. [/quote] Hahaha I've read loads about these recently. I'm fairly worried about how they will stack up against the two twins. It's probably worth mentioning that my head is an Orange TB500

so here's the story. I have a Matamp 410 which is a non ported/non tweeter cab so to me sounds really thin and don't at all like the sound of it compared for an Ampeg 410HLF or Ashdown ABM 810 I occasionally have access to. I'm also at the point where I'll be gigging a fair bit soon so size and weight would be an advantage but not a deal breaker. So here is the question, could I get the sort of sound I want from a ported 210? I'm not concerned about volume here at all. I only run my master vol about 2 (that's 2, not 2 o'clock) so I can turn up plenty and will usually have PA support. That being said, we are a very loud band. Both guitarist use early 70's (130w) Fender twins with master around 7 and our drummer is pretty loud. So it still needs to work in this context. The reason I ask is I've seen an old spec Orange OBC 210 available with a fairly big price drop (the old spec not the mini or the isobaric). Could I get closer to the sound I want with this cab or closer at least? My current cab just doesn't handle lows well. I'm also open to other recommendations for a good 210 that will sound similar to a SVT410HLF in the lows dept or lightweight 410 or even a 15 if people think a single would be loud enough? Thanks!

Love mine. The minute I turned it on and without playing with gain or EQ it was exactly what I wanted and had so much. Ore character than the SVT 7 Pro it replaced.

I've never tried it on bass so can't really contribute anything useful but one of the guitarists in my band has one and it's a fantastic pedal. The three modes make it really usable in loads of different contexts but in the same way you know most of the sounds are that specific pedal. I have no idea how it will handle bass, it is quite dark voiced anyway so assume you'll be ok. Sorry I can't help more but wanted to share positive experience of it

Thanks very much for such positive comments. The recording is a live edited version of what is really 40 mins. Please feel free to like and share if possible. Thanks again for listening and enjoying!

Hi all, This is my band. Would really welcome any feedback. If you like then please like and share (via Facebook link) would be very much appreciated. The 40 min live set is designed to work seamlessly so this is just a live expert cut together. http://www.fortythousandagainstthearctic.com/

Can't recommend the MXR M80 enough. Great sounding, fairly transparent DI with a second scooped channel if you want that sansamp sound. 3 band EQ for sorting your mids.

Anything Josh Homme is involved with commonly has flats on it such as when he was playing bass on the last few Queens albums using that semi hollow Yamaha with flats. Flats with a bit of drive and a pick would get you very very close

Thanks everyone, very much appreciated. Please please get it shared or liked if you enjoy and know others that would

Thanks so much! As far as the recording goes, it was all done live and isn't really mixed but we were relatively happy. There are some really long really ambient passages, we tried to put out snippets of things we that nightlight the different things going on. The music is designed (and has been practiced for a year) without any gaps and seamless passages. Please forward on to anyone you think will like it! All comments appreciated. Cheers again!

Iheartreverb Iheartreverb Oct 31, 2013 hi all, Please remove this if in the wrong place or not appropriate. My new band has "gone public" today after up working away for a good 12 months. Everything is intentionally simple or minimal website and art wise. The music is along the view of ambient, instrumental, post-rock stuff. Please sent me a message if you have any comments and please please sabre via the media links if you're into it and know others that might be! Thanks! http://www.fortythousandagainstthearctic.com/

Save a look at Palmer boards too. Closest to a pedaltrain, better bag and fastenings and similar size options. Everyone in my band has one!

Thought I'd pitch in as I was in a similar situation recently. After buying a Ric 4003 I found myself with an expensive bass and only the hard case. The case would be a night are on and off the tube and trains and is heavy. I bought a Mono Bass Sleeve and its incredible. I looked at moulded hybrid things like Warwick and Gator which just added too much in terms of size (although the protection isn't debatable). The mono is amazing. Small size, light weigh and easily the most substantial gig bag I've ever seen in my life and it logs great. Mono say the sleeve is called that as it should act as a skin. I think this doesn't really work from a marketing point of view as sleeve to me contours up images of it being far less than what it is. Long story short, I am very very impressed and would definitely recommend to someone in the same situation

Thanks guys for replies. Bought a freeze and it does exactly what I need when placed at a certain point of my chain and when is latch mode is spot on for use. ...and thanks. I now want everything MWFX make!
