fleamail Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I am looking to purchase a new 4x10 cab. I will plug it to my Gallien Krueger 400rb and also I have plans of purchasing an Ampeg V4BH. My budget is around 500-600 pounds. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 GK 400RB + Hartke 4.5XL is a classic combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodl2005 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yep the 4.5XL IS a good cab.... BUT IMHO I'd reccommend a SCHROEDER cab- 21012L - IME it Kills most 4 10's I've tried. & with the V4BH U need an efficient(loud) cab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Withi that price Bracket, i would go with the Hartke 410xl or 4.5 XL. Push the boat out a shade and it would be a Tech Soundsystems ND410 cab (like Doods old ones) and ill hopefully have one soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Or you could have my SWR Goliath II for a lot less than that (shameless, I know). Its a seriously good 4x10, and just as heavy as a Hartke! BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little fundamental bass note, very nasal sounding. This was in combination with a Hartke 2500 bass top. Unimpressed. This is the cheapo end of the Hartke range however, and the more expensive brethren should be another pan of lobsters entirely. Not being able to test them I wouldn't know. Just avoid the VX series is my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a budget cab mind, and you get what you pay for I guess. Sounded a lot better with a non-Hartke head though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy115 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Gary A is selling an ampeg 4x10 on the for sale forum [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2691"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2691[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Also an aguilar 4x10 on our FS section which would get a great cab and a few great nights out too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will leave you plenty of cash left over for a nice cover for it. Edited July 9, 2007 by joegarcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XL cabs have always had a very clear, defined, tight sound, with the Aluminium cones. I think the VX have paper cones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
