Update!
Not a lot to update on at the moment, still got my old rig, but have been watching a few threads on here and talking to a few people
A while back I found out that "The great British Bass Lounge" was a few miles from me, so had a drive over yesterday to look at some other options.
Drew is, I think, the only dealer stocking bare faced cabs, and whilst I have seen a few of these on stage with bands, not actually had chance to get my hands on them. He is waiting for stock at the moment, so didn't have the super compact I wanted to try, even though I was initially looking at two 2x10's, I'm not discounting two 1x12!
He did have a Retro 2x10, I had looked at these, but was initially put off by the 12 ohm option that was needed to run two cabs. I really like the foot print and weight of these, going back very soon to test against the super compact. If the Retro 2x10 does what its supposed to do, it should suit me well, we shall see!
I am going to be changing my whole rig, so I'm in a good position here, not building a rig around an existing amp, starting from scratch again! So going to be having a look at the GK heads, MB and MB fusion!
So plenty to consider if I go with Retro 2x10, if I run one 12 ohm cab I'm going to be getting a lot less power out of what ever amp I go for!
Another amp option has surfaced, that has got my attention, the Mesa Subway D-800, be interesting to hear this! It will run at 2 ohm meaning I could run two 4 ohm Retro 2x10's
I'm not in a rush here, which is good, my band is "regrouping" after a change of vocalist, so have time to get it right!
