2elliot Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) I'm looking for a 24" wide neo cab, possibly 410 or 212 for a valve Head. I understand TKS have a 'W' option. Can anyone recommend any other manufacturers. I'm currently running an Ashdown ABM 115 neo classic 500w flipped on its side. Unfortunately ashdown no longer make this line and finding a second one is proving tricky. It's a great cab too. Any pointers would be appreciated. Edited April 16, 2016 by 2elliot Quote
Lw. Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Matamp make a nice 2x12 neo bass cab don't they? And they're known for their chunky tube heads... Quote
Dad3353 Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 A Barefaced Compact laid sideways..? The choice is vast, if horizontal is not a problem. I'll admit to never having understood this 'thing' about amp overhang, but, then again, I play drums..! Quote

[/quote] I've looked at Barefaced, two compacts side on in one box would be cool. One is too low and very similar my current set up. No over hang, it's against the law in my head.

I'm trying to keep the weight below 30kg, closer to 25kg if poss.... bad back, dodgy shoulders, etc... Quote
JapanAxe Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Just the thought of an amp head overhanging the sides of a cab... ugh, makes my palms go all sweaty Quote

FinnDave Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Surely a valve head should sit on top of a 4 x 12 (or a stack of two)? There must be a rule about that somewhere. Quote

[/quote] Locate the same driver and get the Ashdown cab 'cloned' ? Plan b, Locate a suitable Neo driver e.g. Eminence 3015, Faital Pro, get Ahsown cab cloned with correct ports for the driver? There appear to be some ABM cabs on the well know internet auction site. Whether these are the right ones is a matter for you. Quote

Merton Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) TKS do a wide version of their 2x12 specifically for this reason Edit - didn't read your first post properly so you know this already Edited April 17, 2016 by Merton Quote
Merton Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Or Barefaced has just made Jah Wobble two 4x10 cabs, they will no doubt be releasing that to the wider public too and that would be top of my list having played a CTM30 through a Retro Two10 Quote

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/86815-barefaced-vintage/"]http://basschat.co.u...efaced-vintage/[/url] 24" apparently They were made for Barefaced users who also used valve amps, but as it turned out very few people actually used valve heads with them (I know I didn't!) so they were discontinued and/or morphed into the Super Fifteen, which is not as wide... Outstanding cabs - and very light (a 2x15 that is a manageable one handed lift?!?!). I only sold mine because I wasn't gigging very often and it was a bit wide and awkward for simply moving in and out of the house and the twisty stairs at the rehearsal room... I'd have it back in a second! They do occasionally come up for sale on here ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228811-sold-pending-barefaced-vintage-2x15-silver-cloth/page__p__2362329__hl__barefaced%20vintage__fromsearch__1#entry2362329"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2362329[/url]) but there aren't that many about and most people who own them, love them!

pete.young Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I used to have a Tech Soundsystems NDS 4x12 which is perfect for this job. 27kg and wider than a Burman head, which is slightly wider than a BF Vintage. I sold it on the forum and it pops up from time to time. Quote
Sparky Mark Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Markbass STD104HF 4ohm is a lightweight 26kg cab a smidge under 24" wide. I am selling one on here BTW.☺ Quote
