Elfrasho Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 ... that has a matched 1x10 can making it a modular system? There's seems to be a few 1x12 combos doing it but all the 1x10 combos I've seen are aimed at 'practice anp' style. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I had an EA iAMP350 combo which was 1x10. It paired up with a matching cxl110 cab. Good quality rig, but heavy by today's standards. Very hifi clean and lots of EQ options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Genz made a 110 combo. The one with the amp clipped on to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If I'm undestanding this right? Ibanez Promethean P5110c Ibanez Promethean P3110c Redsub BT5110c Harley Benton BA5110c Ashdown Mibass 2.0 combo Sure there's loads more but becoming rarer.

Elfrasho Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cheers folks. What i mean is, a combo that has a matching extension speaker cab, another 1x10. Allowing us to have a small amp for house use but then a 2x10 rig when you need to push a bit more air? I'm thinking the ashdown mibass is the only one i can find. Alot of the 10" amps are rated very low and don't even have extension cab sockets. 1x12s such as markbass cmd 121p exists, but that and extension cab is hitting 4 figures... Slightly out my budget.... I'm slightly surprised there's not a lot of options for this to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Promethean 3110 is a 300W 1x10 combo (just 12kg and very compact). Ibanez used to supply a P110C extension cab but this has been discontinued (still available second hand). You could make use of any decent 1x10 extension cab (e.g. Barefaced), but I am guessing you want something matching for aesthetics? The Ashdown MiBass does look like a good option in terms of power (400W) and having a matching cab. But I'm not personally tempted by Ashdown gear. The other 1x10 combos, as you note, don't compete with the Promethean or Ashdown on power output. However, if you go for a separate head then you have complete freedom to choose a quality head and you can get two matching 1x10 cabs from a range of cab suppliers, and just use one for your home rig?

eude Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yup, I think the MiBass is likely your best option. I've got a MiBass 2.0 and two Mi10 cabs, I might consider moving them on further down the line if you're interested, how much of a hurry are you in?

Musicman20 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would look no further than Genzler (latest Genz Benz, basically): http://www.genzleramplification.com/product/MG350-BA10-Combo/Magellan-350-Combo.html?cid=18 Bass Direct stock them.

I've already got a microhead so i could just pick up 2 1x10 cabs, but for tidyness around the house, i really wanted a combo. The combo would live in my studio (ie corner of my bedroom) and the ext cab would live hidden away for when i have a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I know you want a combo but as mentioned above, surely a pair of 1 x 10 cabs and a lightweight amp is the way to go? I have a Barefaced one10 and a GK MB200 and the tone and volume might surprise a lot of players. It's an easy carry in a cajon bag. Add another one10 if required. What's not to like about that set-up? Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the combo and asked the UK dealer about the 2x10 - they quoted £330 to import one. It's actually a very versatile combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a MiBass combo, they do pop up on here second hand now and again, the cabs are a little more scarce though, especially the 8 ohm ones. The new Genzler setup mentioned above is going to be awesome though if you've got the cash. Best of luck finding something that fits.

The original Promethean 1x10 combo held its own against pro combos worth 4 times as much by all accounts. I too have no idea why they stopped making it. So very silly...

The P3110 is 300w stand alone and 300w with the extension (something to do with the windings). All have to be bought secondhand now though.
