Combed20 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi all. Looking to get an extension cab for my rig. Either Fender Rumble 115 or Markbass Traveller 115. Both are light weight, which I need. Anyone played through both and able to describe the difference? Going to have to be an online purchase as I can get down to a shop selling both....

casapete Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 What is your current set up you are thinking of adding the cab to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combed20 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Orange Terror 500, Orange SP212 and Ahdown 4x10. I'm getting old and my back wants something lighter than the Ashdown!! Having said that, someone just emailed me to possibly offer me an Orange SP210... Edited August 5, 2019 by Combed20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 For a light weight cab, it's also worth looking at Barefaced Bass. They get a lot of love here. I once had a "BigOne"; their 115. It was light, yet bulletproof as far as it's power handling is concerned. They don't currently do a 115, but you could ask Alex if he can make one, if 15" is important to you. https://barefacedbass.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I used to run my OTB through a TC Electronic RS210 and/or RS112 cabs. It sounded glorious. I preferred it to the Barefaced ones I tried with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, when I bought a One10, Alex assured me it would hold it's own for a gig. @Happy Jack was telling me that for giging he's been known to have a small Barefaced sitting on a large cab. Not that the large cab was actually plugged in, he just felt the small Barefaced would look too insignificant. So the large cab simply made the rig look good.

I’ve seen people use big plexi Marshall heads with those little guitar cabs from barefaced. Looks a little odd but apparently they sound great .

Roger2611 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The 1x15 Traveller is a nice cab, well built, reliable and sounds fine, I had one for a few years and used it below my 102 Traveller cab, I haven't used the Fender so cannot comment on that cab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A secondhand Barefaced Compact is extremely light, extremely loud and extremely cheap - considering what you get for your money. You can pick one up, on Basschat, for about £300. Then you can sell all your other cabs because you won't need them any longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compact and loud enough for any gig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 GJones speaketh the truth...I have an early Compact which I bought to make a full stack with my Super Twin*, but I've used it on its own where I want something a bit lighter/smaller than the Super Twin, but need to retain the option of removing plaster from walls...it's still a great cab. * I knowwwww, I just got carried away, OK?

I replaced a pair of GK 2x10 cabs with a single Barefaced 1x15 (the original Compact), and it sounded better and went louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Another Barefaced user here, bought two one10s to go for the mighty bass stack look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my big gig rig. I like both the 2x10 and the 1x15. Light rugged, good sound. Solo I probably prefer the 2x10 but it’s pretty marginal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
