Big tone, small cab, low (ish) volume, for rehearsing.

[winterfire666]

Im on the lookout for a small cab for home practicing. The smaller the better ideally. 

I want something i can get a nice full sound from at low ish volumes, any ideas?

Im using a darkglass m900.

Thanks.

Well I`m sure many will recommend the Barefaced One10, but I`d be tempted to slightly bigger and get the Super Midget, which having heard the two, I prefer. Just my preference though, both are good cabs but when I heard the One10 I thought it was good, when I heard the SM I was knocked back by the amount of sound coming from such a small cab.

Though they are both quite expensive, if looking at a lesser budget then Markbass, Ashdown, Fender all do 1x12s and all sound pretty decent at good 2nd hand prices.

[winterfire666]

yeah the one10 is a possibility, ideally i want something smaller than a 1x12 though, i have a spot where i want to hide it in the lounge, just see what options there are,

ive looked into pjb stuff but cant seem to see a very small cab in the current available range(the small stuff all seem to be combos), ive only heard a big pjb rig before which was great but not what im looking for.

I'm sure if you made a small sealed box with a nice 8" speaker in it, that would be ideal for in the house (not too much bass extension)

EA wizzy 10s are pretty good

Heard one of these in action last time I was at Bass Direct and was very impressed with the tone coming out of it - http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Eich_110XS.html

Although you already have an amp, i was very impressed by the ashdown after 8.

Cost around £30 second hand. Great tone - really good for home practice - and really loud. I genuinely couldnt get past 1/4 in the house before it was too loud.

Very compact too.

I think all Tecamp/Eich combos are regarded as being top tier. Would love to try one out.

Yeah they make serious gear. I couldn’t believe that sound was coming from a single 10!

[winterfire666]

might be interested in trying the eich, the size is great and havent seen this model before. the wizzy is an option too.

it has to be something i can use the darkglass with as i love the tone 

i might have to make a trip to bass direct in the new year and see what they have, actually just on the website now, trace elliot 2x8 and 1x10 ELF cabs look pretty sweet.

I’m curious about these genzlers too - http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bass_Array_10_2_Genzler_Amplification.html

 

What cab/cabs are you currently running?

[winterfire666]

i didnt know those were available in a 10'', lots of options all of a sudden lol

i use a barefaced super 12t for my melodic metal band and a huge weighty marshall DBS 7412 4x12 for the thrash band, both too big for lounge noodling.

[CameronJ]

Haha yes the world is your oyster now! Though for “lounge noodling” I can’t recommend the Phil Jones Double Four highly enough. You wouldn’t gig it but for low/medium home volume it’s glorious. Tiny and built like a tank too.
