sshorepunk Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I've always had 4x10's, moved to a 6x10, now back on a 4x10! I have a 4x10 now on loan whilst I find something! Been having a look round, two different Aguilar cabs, ashdown classic (neo! And made in uk) ampeg! I have always had two, and probably will do this time! Any comments on any of the above I have mentioned? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't know them but I'm really happy with my new Ashdown Mag 410T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Really like my Aguilar DB210's which I pair up to make a 410 config. At one point I considered their 212, but am glad I didn't..ditto 210 plus 115.. The 2x210 pr fill a decent stage.... great sound I wish Aguilar did a DB610.. but I really don't have enough dates for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 What's the difference between Aguilar DB and GS? Ashdown classic neo cabs sound like a possibility, British made with eminence drivers. Red grill looks good! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 DB112 and GS112 use the same chassis but tune the cab diierently...so the GS has BIG low end and a mid scoop..so you know where the tune bias is. I assume they follow this idea with the 212 and 412 configs and retain the diierent voices between GS and DB cabs. I don't think they sell GS 10" cabs here... I don't know what the SL range is like but I tend not to like NEO's over ceramics from what I have tried...but this is just my pet 'theory' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I've not tried Aguilar cabs, but I'm a big fan of both Ashdown and Ampeg! IMO you can't go wrong with either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not me, Behringer are rubbish. I never got on so great with the Ashdown cabs, though I love the heads. GK do brilliant cabs in their neo or RBH range, and though I've never owned, I've used and liked the Aggie and Ampeg 4x10"s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 My current cab, a Markbass 104HR is a fantastic cab. I really like Ampeg, and they have always been my favourite, but I think that Markbass has taken that position, which is something I never thought I would say. A real nice bass presence, felt as well as heard, but without that boom/flub that often comes with a bass heavy sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Horton Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 What amp are you going to pair with it ? I love my Epifani gear , I'd defiantly recommend that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 When I was researching what to buy, I recall that the B&C drivers have a longer excursion than the majority of other drivers (wait a min, didn't I post something similar about 6 months ago?). So that might part explain them being so loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a clue whether it makes them louder, but it's reassuring to know that they're able to move that much more as they're so much less likely to get damaged... Never heard of one blowing!

sshorepunk Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) At the moment, I am using an ashdown jj500 which was bought as a back up for my matamp when outon the road, but has proved itself in its own right! I looked at amped and saw there were a few different cabs in the range Using GAK for linkns for no other reason than convenience! Ampeg PF 410HLF 4x10 Cab http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ampeg-pf-410hlf-4x10-cab/59947 Ampeg B 410HLF http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ampeg-b-410hlf/683 Ampeg SVT 410HLF http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ampeg-svt-410hlf/684 Ampeg Pro Neo PN-410HLF http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ampeg-svt-410hlf/684 The pro series neo would do the job but carries a hefty price tag, the Ampeg PF 410HLF 4x10 Cab may be an option, looks cool too! The ashdown classic mentioned earlier is whole different beast to previous cabs Ashdown CL-410H http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ashdown-cl-410h/47906 Not really into mark bass, been there prefer a more traditional looking cab also! Next links from the gallery Aguilar GS410 http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=1518&type=Bass%20Cabinet Aguilar DB410 http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=202&type=Bass%20Cabinet Neo would be nice, not getting any younger !!!

chrismuzz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 They're rare, but look for a Markbass CL104 they're gorgeous! Sealed cabinet too (no ports) if that's your thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 In the 410 world, Markbass are good, Epifani and Aguilar are great, but (IMO) the best is Bergantino. If you can't find an AE410 check out the HD410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Dude! i swapped from an SVT 410HLF to the Matamp cab i had off you and the Matamp is miles better in every deptartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
