Jezyorkshire Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just got a Genz Benz STL3.0-8T , would ideally like matching extension cab but also wondering what else would be a good match and also uncoloured as using with my double bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The 'Which cab for double bass' question is almost as much fun as the 'which pickup for double bass' question. The Euphonic Audio Wizzy cabs are reported to work well for DB, but I've not tried one. Personally. I have a couple of Big E MAS (Mike Arnapol Soundworks) cabs - a 4x5 and a 4x6 and I'm very hapy with them and would be lost without them....but they aren't cheap. Other cabs that I've tried and liked are the Barefaced One10 and a TC Electronic 2x10 that I borrowed for a couple of gigs and was very pleasantly surprised at how well it handled the notes on the E string. The current opinion seems to be that lots of small drivers are better for double bass than one big driver, so something like the Phil Jones cabs could work well. A couple of manufactures have cabs with multiple 8" drivers, which get good reports for DB. In particular, there's a thread over on Talkbass about how good the Peavey Max 208 is for DB. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/new-amp-day-peavey-max-bass-208.1391005/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blartfactor10 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Greenboy F112 from Tricky audio. http://trickyaudio.com/wp/ You won't need any other cab. Not cheap but you won't need any other cab. Built with the highest components so you won't need any other another cab. Light and easily transportable, so you won't need any other cab. Loud and very clear, Did I mention you won't be needing any other cab? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very fine indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJJS Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I’m using a PJB BG400 and have the extension cab as well. I’ve found the pickup & preamp to be more important though. I’m now on a DG copperhead and a tonebone pz pre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Agree with MJJS - pick up SO important - a pre can help a lot too, I am convinced it just depends which amp you go into - I go direct into an AER amp one and have no issues at all ….failing that you could buy an Eminence EUB and all your problems would be solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggno9 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hello. Guy here. From TrickyAudio. Just putting it out there (clearly !!! ) That I'm still in business and making greenboy cabinets, I decided to put a stop to the crazy8 model as a lot of users would get back to me with problems. I suspected the problems were because they were expecting the c8 to have the performance range that the FEARLESS range has.......simple answer... IT DON'T !!! Order a F112 or any of the FEARLESS range instead and cover all your needs for the rest of your fruitful and lengthy careers 😄 Thanks Guy www.trickyaudio.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 What problems? Looked like a great cab to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Maybe just people expecting more than even a very good single 8" will do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggno9 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 That's exactly the reason. People were expecting too much. They are a great little cab. But little !! When the greenboy F110 is on my build list. I'm going to push customers towards that cabinet.. Amazing what an extra 2 inches can do 😮 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
