mikeh Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 What you want is an Epi UL310 weighs 47lbs and will kick the arse of most 4x10"s!!! Can be had for around £500 used. Quote

richy316 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 May aswell put forward my support for Warwick! Neo Pro 4 x 10 800watts @ 8ohm, get it new from GAK for under £500. Quote
ReeV0 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 the warwick WCA 411 ND looks pretty good. i will be using it with a Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II or a 1001RB-II. i play mainly slap so i want something good for that. I'm also looking at getting two Gallien-Krueger Neo212 cabs, but this only makes 4 speakers altogether instead of the possible 8, and i'm wondering if it will be loud enough. I'll be playing rock with 2 guitarists.. Quote
bass_ferret Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 It does not matter how many times you ask the questions you are gonna get the same answers from the same people. Everyone on here has their favourite squeeze and thats the answer you will get from a lot of people, no matter what question you ask. Thats how it is. I have pointed you at the wiki but you dont seem to want to learn what affects volume. The only indicator of how loud a cabinet will go is the measured sensitivity and frequency response graph but the latter are never published and the sensitivity can be imaginative. I cant find the figures for the Warwick as they dont appear to publish them but I have just looked at the GK website and the Neo 212 is 101dB and the 410RBH is 102dB. IdB is probably inaudible. You would usually gain 3dB by adding another cab. Quote

warwickhunt Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 6 speakers and 30kg... the way forward However, you aren't going to get one for your budget so I'd suggest looking into all of the above suggestions plus the ZOOT cabs! Quote

I know London is a big place but the Gallery that I have already given you a link for is one of the best shops in the UK. Go there! If you can travel get out to the Bass Merchant that I have given you the link for in Essex. Depending on where in London you live that may easier. Go there. The answers to your questions are there - not on here. The most consistant advice you have had is GK so try that first. If you keep ignoring the advice you are getting the advisers will start ignoring you. Quote
ReeV0 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 sorry i dont mean to ignore people, i guess i just have strong opinions based on no facts lol. does the gallery have everything in their shop that they do on their website do you know? also it looks way overpriced to me but i guess i can buy somewhere else Quote

Give them a call or email. They will usually price match I believe but i've never been there myself. Quote
warwickhunt Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 If it is a genuine price, most shops will match, though not usually Internet shop prices. Internet suppliers have minimal overheads and sometimes don't even carry the stock they'll just order it from the distributor when you pay them for it. Quote
hammer Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Check out the Markbass 4x10. Light and easy to transport (and I'm selling one - used but as new) Ian Quote
Welshbassist Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I'd say your best bet for crystal clear slap stuff would be the Epifani UL310, which really beats quite a lot of 410s volume wise, despite one less speaker! You'd have to go used, but it would definitely be worth it! I use a UL410, and used to own a UL310, and they definitely deserve all the hype! Quote
ReeV0 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 sorry guys but i've made up my mind. im going with the GK 700RB-II amp, GK Neo 410 cab and GK Neo 212 cab. havent tried it yet but i know i will like it lol. im gonna buy the 212 first, and then save up for the 410 Quote
The Funk Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Give us a review once you've bought your rig and given it a proper work out. Best not start any new threads about it until then - 4 different threads about the same thing is probably a bit much! Quote

No use faffing about for ages and you can only tell if it works for you by gigging it anyway ... Quote
