Tiny but usable cab?

Hi All,

As mentioned in the title, i'm hoping to acquire some sort of very small and light cab if they exist. I don't have a car so have to rely on public transport for most gigs. I play in pretty much all settings but this would mostly be used for jazz and other small gigs.

So basically, are there any small (as in 1x10 or close to) and light cabs out there that don't sound terrible?

Cheers,
Jack

I'll probably be accused of being a fanboi, but Barefaced make some very nice small, light cabs.
Check out the Super Midget: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Midget.htm"]http://barefacedbass...uper-Midget.htm[/url]

EA also have one or two cabs that would suit, but I have no experience of them.
Check out the Wizzy 10: [url="http://www.eaamps.com/products-detail.asp?REC_ID=4"]http://www.eaamps.co...il.asp?REC_ID=4[/url]

And how could I forget Schroeder? :)

Here's a link to a combo version of the Yamaha - don't quite know what he's getting at about the extra 4x12 cab, and I wouldn't go for the combo as it was early class d, pretty much unrepairable if it goes wrong, but at least you can see the cab. They have cropped up on here every now and again.

I have a wizzy 10 and it sounds fantastic... deep low bass and surprising volume and projection.

I've paired it with a GK MB200, a popular pairing I underatand. I cart mine around London without any problems whatsoever.

Thanks for the suggestions. May have forgotten to mention I don't have a great deal of cash but it isn't super urgent. Also thought it's worth mentioning i'm looking mainly for a cab not a combo. And would likely be pairing up with a Markbass traveller 151p for louder gigs.

Cheers

if it's any help, the TC BG250 amp is a 250W one and removable (with a couple of screws) from the cab. It's also the only one in the BG range that has an 8ohm cab, so you can drive a second cab with it for bigger gigs. I use mine with an Eden Nemesis 1x15 when I need more volume...

As nice as the EA Wizzy 10 is, the 4 ohm impedance makes it less suitable for pairing with anything else unless your amp will run at 2 ohms (which Markbass don't IIRC).

Oh yeah probably should have mentioned it will have to be 8ohm!

Cheers

Yes this is true.

I'm so pleased with mine I looked at adding another but I'd have to have a series cable made up to run them both from the MB200.

The Crazy 8 is a great little cab, that provides real low end, not just lots of mid to make it seem loud. Its an American GreenBoy design, but Tricky Audio make it here in the UK. I had one without the tweeter and didn't miss it.

I can vouch for the Ashdown Mi10.
It's a lovely little cab and plenty powerful. Can get a little nasal at volume, but that's easy fixed on your amp.
Two of them as actually quite a force to be reckoned with.

I believe the Mi10 and the Eden equivalent are made in the same factory, but the Ashdown seems a lot more solid, and a bit classier with it's carbon effect tolex vs the Eden's carpet.
