bumnote Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) How about this. Similar to Fleabags but the C4 lites. Used at a gig last night in a pub in a 3 piece band. Very punchy and tons of volume. Edited January 20, 2019 by bumnote 2 Quote

bumnote Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I liked the C7 but I found them heavy for a 1 handed lift. I would have been happier if they had side handles and I didnt think the C4s would match up. Im glad to say I was wrong 1 Quote

bumnote Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I think its more noticable when theres 2 stacked. And PJ has worked to get them more compact. if you compare the old 4b which has the port at the bottom it looks bigger. Its the weight reduction that has done it for me. Quote

Thanks for posting this link lijbass. Haven't seen these around, but it's always good to know what's out there It seems that there are more and more options for small, lightweight bass cabs Quote

krispn Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) TC Electronic 208 cab. These are about to be released I'd suspect right after NAMM. GuitarGuitar are bound to have them and I may be tempted to nab one myself if they sound decent. https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Bass/Cabinets/BC208/p/P0DLI#googtrans(en|en) Edited January 22, 2019 by krispn 1 Quote

I find the EX112 cab is deep and warm with a P bass and is about 30lbs.. And I'm considering selling mine. If anyone's interested, it might just convince me to sell. Quote
paddy109 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 I can recommend the EA Wizzy - small, lightweight and great for DB. Brilliant little handle that doubles as a tilt back for the cab. Quote
razze06 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Posted July 2, 2019 I'd like to revive this thread by pointing out that a lot of manufacturers are bringing out small form 2x8 vertically stacked cabs TC Electronic Warwick Trace Elliot The TC looks very intresting at that price, but would it work for both DB and EB in a small gig with no PA support?

Marc S Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Yes, a useful thread - as many of us are seeking lighter and more portable solutions Markbass are also doing 2 "Ninja" combos - one which outputs 250W, the other 500W Though quite pricey, I like the look of them. As with other Markbass combos, you can use them on their own, or add an (8 ohm) extension cab https://www.google.com/search?q=markbass+ninja+102-250+review&rlz=1C1GGRV_enGB751GB751&oq=Markbass+ninja&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l5.7895j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quite tempting, I must say. There's a few people reviewing them on YouTube too Quote
chris_b Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Small is good but as bass players we still have to move air. Micro cabs might sound good on stage but can they reach to the back of the room? I haven't gigged a One10 on its own yet but I have giged 2 of them and they worked well, even with a my 5 string. Quote
bassace Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I haven’t used a OneTen in a big setting but, from my experience with a Crazy 8, I have no doubt that it’ll cope. It’s just too dark with a Lifeline but a couple of days ago I put an old Underwood on. Played through the OneTen it sounded very good indeed. I’ll give it a gig before long. 1 Quote

Is there some other aspect of physics at play that I am unaware of? The DB strings are about 42 scale length and seem at least the same thickness as electric bass strings so I would have thought they would have a bigger impact on a speaker. I'm a beginner with a EUB and a PJB Briefcase that I practice through which is fine at low home levels. What say you? There are a number of issues here. The overiding one is portability. You can fit a double bass in pretty much any car, but not if there is even a medium sized bass cab in there as well. The other very significant factor is that the bass itself is a speaker cabinet, with a pickup or mic right up against it. If you crank the volume too much everything will just start feeding and begin to sound muddy. The final thing to point out is that generally, the larger the cabinet, the poorer the higher frequency fidelity. I might be picked up on that, but I'm quite certain of it. The DB is an acoustic instrument, so we want a good flat frequency response up to at least 14 kHz, otherwise we may as well be playing an electric instrument, where the amp and cabinet are as much a part of the instruments tone as the bass itself. 2 Quote
krispn Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 @razze06 I have a DB embee 112 you're welcome to borrow and has a defeatable tweeter. Hit me up via PM and we can arrange a drop off if that would be any use. http://www.db-bass.com/db-bass/db_bass-embee_12.html Quote
