There's an Eden EX112 in the classifieds: I use my BH250 with a little EA CXL110 with a Basslite driver installed, goes more than loud enough for accompaniment so any 1x10, 1x12 or 2x8 should be sufficient. A lot of people paired them with the TC BH208: https://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_bc208_bass_cab.htm?

Given the limited time clearance price of the old Rockbass factory Sadowskys it would probably be a good idea to check one of those out first.

That's one of their better colours IMO, regret not grabbing a burgundy mist V7 when Andertons were selling the old Gen2 stock off on the cheap. They also had the lake placid blue on sale as well.

FRFR cab and the Quad Cortex you already own should cover that all that ground.

It doesn't look like the battery clip is detachable which is a bit of an oversight for those with a separate battery compartment. A 2 pin connector might be your best option: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265942800623?

I'd be spending that money on a soldering iron, the S99 on AliExpress is meant to be a very good and inexpensive USB Type C iron, also get some decent solder, a cleaning tin with wire wool in it and one of the little stands, all cheap eBay/AE stuff. Realistically three good quality pots will set you back £10-£12, practice soldering/desoldering on your old pots. This.

From the eBay listing it looks like the previous owner has lopped the entire top off the cab to serve as an enclosure for the combo head though, would need a bit more work than your usual combo to cab adaption.

Is it this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285824368461? Yeah, I'd be giving that a miss even if it was around the corner, let alone an hour away.

There was someone selling 2 x 8ohm EX112 in the classifieds recently.

A lot of those Eden EX cabs were 4ohm, was looking for a used 8ohm EX110 after they'd gone out of production and couldn't find one at the time.

Seems like a reasonable price, good results can be had if you can do the work: I'd just buy the cab I wanted though, the world isn't exactly short of old, heavy Ashdown cabs going for a song.

Don't have any better pics (did have some zoomed out ones) but this is the sort of outdoor event we could do with the RCF setup 1.bmp

Well we had two of them and they were much bigger, heavier and more expensive! I think they were the 705 but the older versions, we got lucky and picked them up for £500 for the pair used. Even in smaller venues we'd use them both, not really for volume but more for the audio quality benefit. Our current sub is lighter than one of our old RCF 725 tops.

The first gig we did with them I was doing the drum levels and was actually a bit surprised at how clear the kick was, half expected it to be pure mud or fart out. Big room and a single sub as well. I can still remember the first PA we bought decades ago - Peavey HP400 with two huge subs, a floor standing rack unit with 3 stupidly heavy power amps, a separate crossover and an old Studiomaster (IIRC) desk in it and two heavy (and useless) wooden wedge monitors. Cost a fortune, didn't sound all that great, took an age to set up and was a PITA to load in/out. Our power amps kept breaking so we eventually had to add an additional one as a backup.

Think I've listed it on the last "I love IEMs / I hate IEMs" thread! It's a Behringer XR18 and 2 x Alto TS210 with a single Alto sub, TS15 or something like that. The rack bag is the G4M 3u shallow. The two lads that joined already had the speakers from their last band so I assumed we'd be using them on a temporary basis until we had enough for some RCF cabs in the band kitty, was genuinely surprised at how good they sounded in a decent sized room though. Years later and we haven't upgraded yet! Our old setup was 2 x RCF725 with 2 RCF subs, did some huge outdoor events (playing on a league one football pitch to one of the stands) with that rig and was brilliant, the subs weighed a lot though and were pretty massive. Wouldn't expect anything like that from the Altos but for indoor use they're very capable. We're a 5 piece with keys (and the keys player won't get a smaller keyboard) so can struggle for stage space, I'm pretty tall so always struggled with hearing myself if I was right on top of my cabs. Don't miss my amps at all but do miss those RCF subs!

Not carrying backline along with having a very compact PA is probably why I can still enjoy gigging properly. My entire bass rig including preamp, cables, IEM setup and tablet fits in a gigbag, our desk (with router, power strip and bluetooth aux adapter) is in a 3u shallow rack bag and all our cables are in one of the Thomann cable bags. Never been easier or faster to load in, setup and packdown. We had a band member and PA re-shuffle a few years ago and decided to go for the most compact PA as lugging a ton of stuff around was becoming a chore which we just didn't enjoy any more. Had a think about how we transported things and ended up with a tiny setup that sounds great and gives us excellent monitoring on any stage. Wasn't even expensive.

Perhaps the Reunion Blues Incontinental Voyager would be a good choice in that case?

Yeah I wouldn't walk far with it, if your priority is getting through doors and up stairs easily then it might be good though.

Gruv Gear Gigblade (original version) might be an option?

Haha this is the best solution, amazing how quickly the problem (and subesquent whining) goes away when the solution is that person buying, carrying and setting up their own piece of equipment.
