Smash Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Has anybody tried one of these cabs, I am starting to think a 6x10 might be what I need and this cab might be a good match for my Mark Bass LMK Head. So Just wondering what does this cab sound like. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I A/B'd one with my amp with some other cabs down at Bass Merchant. Yes it has a deep tone and is a beast, but there was something about the tone of the cab that I just couldn't fall for. I'd like to try another to see if I still feel the same, but I felt that 2 Aguilar GS212's had the bigger, deeper clearer tone. - And thats the reason I ended up with an Epifani lol lol!! I can't really describe the tone, but I would lump it in the same catagory as the Ampeh 610e and the Messa Boogie range. They have a character of their own that you here with every abss that is plugged in. I don't mean this is necessarily a bad thing. A P bass with an Ampeg is a joy to behold.. but is kinda 'one sound'. I prefer the flexibility of having a cab that impinges less on the final sound.. if that makes sense.

Smash Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks for that Dood, I think I see you have the Epifani 6x10 that must sound like a monster!!! My main worry was that being used to 12" Aguilars the 10" Marks would give less bottom end, I probably should drive down to Bass Merchants in my Norfolk Tractor to see what he has in store.

You use the aggies then? I hadn't realised lol!! I am interested in getting some sort of 12"'s solution for writing sessions! The Epi certainly has woofs of natural bottom end. It doesnt need a great deal of EQ to apply too much, which is a good thing. I think the Aggie 2x12's sounded very full as a pair of cabs. I think the bottom end maybe a little more punchy with tens. A large cab such as a 6x will offer up and deliver a good solid and surrounding bass end, that is for sure. I'm gonna seel my SVP with a view to getting a small cab.. I really want the Epifani 1x12, as it has some really good reviews, but I have a short list of other cabs I am interested in as well..

Smash Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes I use Aggies, I remember about 18 months ago it seemed the cab of choice, so I bought 2 of them, they are really great cabs, its so nice to have such a compact loud rig, but still I think I prefer having more speakers. So like you said a pair of 2x12 Aggie's would be an ideal choice, but then the weight factor etc etc oh damn seems like I want my cake and eat it lol. Maybe 6x10 would be good love the look of yours Dood or something like a Tech 4x12 being ultra light. I just never have found an all in one cab that has suited me yet, unless there is an Accugroove Whappo Jr floating about, now thats a cab I do like.

Dood Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I reckon the tech 4x12 mate ;O) I actually think that looking back on things, I should have kept my 2 Tech 4x10's. I think they had the edge on the tone. You live and learn! _ I love the tweeter sound on them. If I had the cash spare, I think I'd go as far as buying one of the ND's again! But I have to sell stuff first! Hmmm.. I really liked the Aggies. Would have been nice to have AB'd them with the Tech's at the time, but I had sold my Techs long before going shopping for new cabs.

Smash Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hmmm I think maybe your right, 4x12 does sound good, can't believe you got rid of 2x 4x10 Tech cabs they must have been great. Its all a matter of: 4x12 Aggie - Cheaper but Heavier 4x12 Techs - Hard to get but Lighter Damn Bass GAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I did see that cab but would like to have a 4ohm to be honest, thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
