Bassmurf Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Morning! I’m currently on the lookout for some lightweight bass cabs - by lightweight I mean no more than 15kg! Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations/suggestions? cheers Dan Quote
Cuzzie Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) You may want to expand on what the use is for, power handling, amp to be used with, cone size, coloured or uncoloured etc. It will help narrow down - but essentially will list their preference which may or may not be aligned to yours!

stevie Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 I can almost predict the way this thread will go. I've been on Basschat too long. 😀 1 8 Quote

JottoSW1 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Laney Nexus 210 or 115. Under the radar, have the 115 which I use with an Ashdown CTM 30 and sounds mint. Have an N410 also but that's over your weight limit but is really light for it's configuration. 1 Quote
Lozz196 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Ashdown RM cabs are decent sounding, light, and not too expensive. Their ABM NEO range a bit more expensive and possibly slightly heavier (think about 17kg for the 210). 1 Quote

Oops sorry yes, to be used with a Zoom B3N & TC BQ500 - ideally 2 cabs - 2of 2x10 or mix of one of those with a 1x15 maybe? Edited April 4, 2021 by Bassmurf Quote

Aside from the stuff mentioned up top Form Factor audio do a good range in about that ball park and config 1 Quote

BassAdder60 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Strongly recommend the Ashdown ABM210H- PN Neo cabs Sound really good and sensible price Quote

They've taken the power / weight ratio for cabs to another level using carbon fibre & other wood substitute materials. Be useful to get a steer on what budget you have in mind - neither BF or GR are budget ranges. Edited April 4, 2021 by Al Krow Quote

Hi Al, looking to spend ideally for two cabs no more than £500\600! 4 hours ago, Lozz196 said: Ashdown RM cabs are decent sounding, light, and not too expensive.

A quality 1x12 could potentially get you there for most band needs without a second cab. I personally like to have 300W+ on tap from my rig to give me enough headroom. You'll pick up a used Barefaced Super Compact within your budget and it's exceptionally portable. 2 1 Quote

The BC112 MK3 is 15KG or the new 10" Lockdown Cab will be just over 10Kg. 1 Quote
BCH Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Scott Dixon Lightweight cabs...12" 11kg ....10" 8kg...I have both...fab https://www.scottdixoninc.com/ Quote
Dan Dare Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Go to somewhere like Bass Direct or the Bass Gallery and try 'em all. Quote
TheGreek Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 @BCH's Quilter Bassliner is a monster - used to be mine - can't understand why it hasn't sold already. It's a steal at any price, never mind what he's selling it for. If I was gigging and didn't already have an alternative, I'd buy it back. Quote
