A Fender Rumble cab and head is the other way to go

That’s very smart and nicely done

Another interesting point is my 210H cab is rated to 500w not 300w as the current version ( mine looks the same though )

Hi .. the reviews for the Rumble are very good so I’m sure this would do the job assuming the band isn’t too loud ! I play in a band playing loud rock and use a 600w head and 212 cab but my cab allows all the amp power to be used I think the Rumble needs an extension cab to get the full 500w out of it but they do claim to be loud combos so it may be ok Ive tried just the cabs and they are pretty decent and light in weight Someone is selling one on this site for £400 I believe

My Orange Little Bass Thing 500w head is very loud so I can imagine a 1000w head must be extreme !

I found when I tried flats I just didn’t like the smooth string sensation from my plucking / picking hand point I guess years of RW and that string feedback is hard to brake Enjoy the bass either way as I’m sure it’s lovely

Lovely looking bass Lozz Are you going to stick S/S RW on it ?

Those Rotosound RS66LD are amazing for rock I think Great growly punchy sound and feel good and I’m liking the 45-105 set

Yes my first thoughts are Rotosound are brighter and more aggressive sounding but Elixir are smoother under the fingers Also I’m back to 45-105 sets and in the case of the Elixir 85 and 105 and 80 and 105 for the Rotosound

I’ve just popped a set on my PBass Will see how they sound with the band On my other PBass I’m trying Rotosound 66 strings

No Elixir uses ?? 😳

I’m quite liking the single 210H at the moment and will see if it’s loud enough for rehearsals

Loud enough to gig with in a loud rock band ?

Just got myself the Ashdown ABM210H 500w cab The current models are 300w I believe With my ABM600 head it’s a lovely sounding cab, might add a second cab ? They are heavier than the Pro Neo sealed cabs but they sound very good

My first ever band pic ( first gig ) Rock originals band Westone Thunder 1a black bass and Marshall bass rig Still wear a sweat band but on plucking hand now circa 1990 ??

I found them ok for some styles but didn’t work for me in rock. I know everyone says Steve Harris uses them but I prefer RW strings and about to try Rotosound 66 stainless on one bass and Elixir stainless on the other

I just didn’t like the smooth feel of them under my plucking hand

A solution ( expensive ) but I’m thinking of a wooden covered base in rubber feet say 24” wide and 12” high strong enough to take 40kg of weight

I’m sure there is a market for single cab / head users Maybe a Basschat Cab Lifter mk1 could be built ? As mentioned I would be happy to pay for a nicely made / covered version

That’s a good idea Bill

Trust me you will be impressed how good they sound especially when pushed ! Very full sounding and punchy cab that works well on its own in a band

Anyone using these on a PBass for rock ? How do they sound compared to nickel RW Do they last longer to justify the price ?

Unless you rock a single cab !

Yes like that but not tilted back ( head would fall off )

I’m surprised that you cannot buy a bass cab riser ( think nicer beer crate ) as it would be popular in getting cabs raised so you can hear better A nice black tolex unit with rubber feet say 12” tall would make all the difference. Anyone fancy making me one !! For a good price of course !!
