Sztarkel Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hello. I'm kinda new at the forum so i'd like to introduce myself - I'm a polish bassplayer, I was mainly active on polish forums, but they aren't as "crowded" as yours - that's why i'm joining in I'm currently looking for a cabinet for my ashdown abm 500 head. Where I live it's hard to try few cabs one by one and compare them, that's why I'm basing my choice only by internet opinions. First I wanted a 4x10 or 2x12 (to add another 2x12 later), now I'm convinced to buy 2x10 and also add another 2x10 later. Searching for good deals on polish market places, on ebay and your forum I've come across a good deal for an ashdown VS 412 cabinet, 600W at 4 ohm. Have you ever tried it?

Merton Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have the Vs212, the 412 is two of them. It'll be bloody big and heavy and you won't get a lot of high end sparkle, it's very vintage flavoured in its tone. There's nothing wrong with that if that's what you like, just it doesn't have huge flexibility imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If it's a 2x2 config, I'd imagine the dispersion would be really narrow. Which is fine for a personal monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sztarkel Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Well it is 2x2 config. That's why I prefer having 2x210 or 2x212, I can stack them vertically, take only one for small gigs etc. I have pretty low budget so I can spend it all on one 210/212, and then buy another one in few months. Will it be better option? I've got another deal for a 2x12 cab with[color=#3F4C52][font=Lato, sans-serif] eminence delta 12lf, but it's 4 ohm and 600 W. What do you think about that configuration as a standalone? I'd need it for rehearsals and gigs. The music I play is mainly rock/modern hardcore with only 1 guitar player.

Merton Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 A 2x12 should be fine for most situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I use a 2 x12 (Barefaced) cab with Ashdown heads (ABM 500 & 600, or Rootmaster 800) and it's plenty of volume for any gig. I'm assuming anywhere where that isn't enough would be putting bass though the PA as well, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sztarkel Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great! Got the 2x12 4 Ohm cab with eminence Delta 12lf. It was less than £100 and it should be enough for now thanks for your replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
