Jack Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Given that the Trickfish cabinets are pretty average at best for 1x12"s you might actually be able to find a top-flight 1x10" that is similar or even out-performs it. I'm thinking of something like the Fearless 110 similar. However, they're likely to be just as big and heavy as an MI-grade 1x12", so there's probably no point.

thebassist Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I've hit up Barefaced now. I'll see how that goes - thanks folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some 12" cabs can but that also depends on the amp's ability to deliver proper power. It is also VERY rare (again, in my experience) for a 10" cab to be able to reach all the way down there on a 5 string even when not fighting with a drummer. YMMV Got to say that I did have one that held its own with a very loud drummer - it was the short-lived venture into class D by Yamaha, the BB500. I used it with the matching 110 cab and it was crazy. At the jam night I used to help run with said drummer the pub had a Hartke rig with 410 and 115. There were notes left on this amp by the landlady forbidding the 115 to be plugged in and the amp not to be turned up over a certain volume. One night she came storming down with a face like thunder, walked straight up to the pub amp to turn it down and was totally flummoxed as she hadn't even seen my little rig. Fortunately she found it funny, and couldn't believe her eyes or ears, and ended up staying downstairs and enjoyed the rest of the jam 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In-line drivers tend to use spring loaded binding posts because they're preferred by the DIY crowd. There's no particular advantage to one or the other. My Basslite 2010 has spade connectors, did I get stung? I only paid £24 delivered for it... To the OP: I have that driver in a single compact 1x10 (an EA CXL110) and while it does sound great I wouldn't want to gig with a pair of them, the Deltalite I had in there before was a different story and I've rehearsed with a drummer using just that single cab and a Superfly head. If your shoulders are knackered then I'd personally just get rid of your current cabs and buy Barefaced or something similarly light.

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The Basslites come with spades, as do most of the price point Eminence. The higher end in-line Eminence have push terminals, but I've seen OEM Deltalites with spades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a lot through one speaker, Maybe if you all clubbed together you could get another one too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to lean toward two Barefaced ONE 10s or even two Super Midget 12s now given the weight. Is this any good in your opinion? https://www.eich-amps.com/110xs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) There is absolutely no data that's of any value in their ad copy. I'd no more take a chance on that than would I on a car that that lists horsepower as 'a lot', 0-100 KPH as 'really fast', and fuel economy as 'quite good'.

I've had 3 midgets (original) a compact and 2 FR800s. I can guarantee you that rig will see of most of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are playing outside then I take the other one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy just one first - you might find it's enough. I often gig a single Super Midget and it can get really loud but the tone stays good at all volumes. Frank.

I'm excited about getting them now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
