Lozz196 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Of course, forgot to mention the Schros Muzz. Great cabs, having had a couple of these as well - a Schro 212 is as good a cab as you`ll get, light and extremely loud, really fit in the mix well (tho imo don`t sound great, just ok when soloed but it`s the mix that counts). Great dispersion of sound too - or at least my 410 and 21012 were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwww Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Anyone got any experience with the tc rs range? How does it compare with the likes of barefaced and bergs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I would prefer the bareface and bergs over the RS in my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The TC gear was flavour of the month a couple of years ago. Everyone was raving about it, then buying it. Then followed a period where the marketplace was flooded with TC gear - especially the amps. Taste is fickle. However, some people still rate the TC cabs very highly (the Dark Lord, for example).

stevie Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 TC launched a range of bass equipment out of nowhere a few years ago that was very successful and continues to be so. I certainly didn't notice the marketplace being flooded with second hand TC gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think TC amps sound great on ther own and TC cabs sound great with their amps, they were designed to go together, but I don't kow why you don't see many people with the cabs and a different amp. Thinking about it, the same seems to go for Markbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwww Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ok great, so I think based on all the feedback it seems second hand bergs, barefaced or aguilar would be the best options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I wouldn't rule out Schroeder cabs. Their 2x12 with 1 angled driver is very small and light and puts out a huge sound. Cheap by comparison to Berg, Aguilar etc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluRay Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 [quote name='johnwww' timestamp='1386160836' post='2296500'] Hi Guys I think a 1x15 may be a bit bulky, I don't have a lot of room in the car. I was thinking at rehearsals I could get away with one cab and just using the second one for gigs. I don't have an extortionate budget, probably around £400. I only need the one cab for now I can get the other a bit further down the line. I am using an Ashdown ABM EVO III 500. Thanks again John [/quote] I've just bought some of the new ABM NEO 210s - fantastic cabs & very portable (same width & depth as ABM head, so don't take up much room, which is why I got them) and perfect match for ABM head also. With a bit of haggling you could get one for close to £400. One is plenty loud enough but you could always add another at a later point.

xgsjx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 From what I've seen of Ampeg cabs, it's very hit & miss on build quality (do they use Gibson's QC dept?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Two of the Ampeg cabs I can say are quality cabs, the Classic SVT-410HLF, and the Heritage HSVT-410HLF. I can't say about the other Ampeg cabs, but the monsters are still old school Ampeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But portability could just mean small size - in which case some of the smaller Ampeg cabs might fit your bill. If you want light, not the best option.
