after a new cab... but which one?

[RockfordStone]

I currently have an Ampeg SVT 3 pro and a 410HLF cab to go with it, and whilst it has served me well i don't gig or play all that often, so looking to downsize.

Rather than replace everything, i'm considering keeping the head, but replacing the cab with something smaller, perhaps a 2x10 (maybe a 2x12 but not sure i would save much space).

I am looking for a good cab to pair with it for not a massive amount of money.

Any recommendations?

If you're interested in any Trace Elliot cabs, let me know.

Any 112 cab would do for home use. Every manufacturer has one but, depending on the make, maybe 1 wouldn't be enough.

The only single 112 cab I'd try to gig with would be a Barefaced.

Could you keep the 410 in the garage and get a BF One10 for the house?

If you like the Ampeg sound, look out for a SVT210HE. You'll have to get a used one as they're no longer made. I had one and it was a great sounding cab, reasonably portable and US built. I was tempted to get another for a larger rig, but it was a bit awkward to get up the narrow stairs to my flat at my advanced age, so I sold it and went lightweight. Can't fault the sound, though.

to be honest, the 410 already sits in the garage.

my main reasoning is that i am starting to return to the band scene and have discovered that i want to travel more lightweight than I have in the past

If intending to gig I`d be looking for more than a 210 if the whole bass sound is reliant on backline only, unless going very high-end 210s. If a smaller/lighter 410 won`t fit the bill either a 212 or two 210s would be my choice.

Glad to hear you're getting back into it!

Lozz is right. You need a modular rig.

Sell the 410.

Buy 2 very good 112's or 210's.
