bigthumb Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) I'm having a big rethink of my gear after a particularly bad episode with my back a couple of weeks ago and seriously downscaling size wise. First up is my DR Bass cab. Although its a lightweight Neo cab I'm opting for a single 12" solution and a possible extension cab in the near future. I bought this cab second hand last year and TBH I don't know a great deal about it. Made in the USA (not sure when), in very good condition and 600w at 4 ohms. It dose exactly what I'd expect from it. Sounds great with the heads I've used with it. Bright, clear and punchy. Collection from St Helens Merseyside or I can meet/deliver within reasonable distance at fuel costs. Edited August 14, 2021 by bigthumb 5
Davy Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Sorry to hear about your back, I had similar trouble a year or so ago and you are literally scared to move once you've experienced the pain so I can appreciate you wanting to downsize. Looks like a good quality cab, GLWTS. 1 1

Looks like a good quality cab, GLWTS. I've suffered on and off with it since my late teens and having jobs that involved heavy lifting hasn't helped much! The latest episode happened when walking the dogs one morning. For no reason its just 'went'. I have to keep my bass gear up stairs so I really need to think about what I have to carry up and down hence the 1x12 neo move. As well as a pain in my back its a pain in the a*se!
JottoSW1 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 I'd be interested if we could organise one of @stewblack 's Relays. I'm in London🥴🥴 What would your definition of reasonable distance for petrol cost. Will PM you later today. 1

I heard one of these cabs quite a while ago and it was Xlnt. Is this brand the one that has the pinned thread on Talkbass, a guy called Marc Serio ? Edited June 1, 2021 by JottoSW1

I don’t think that there’s many of these about, it’s only the second one I’ve ever seen. I played through one at a bass bash many years ago which sounded fantastic. When this one came up for sale I snapped it up.

ebenezer Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Fabulous cabs, i had the 2460, but had the heavier ceramic drivers and at 65lbst too heavy for me.....looking on the website, they have some superb designs....RIM basses used to import them, but no longer do so....shame 1 1
bigthumb Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Just checked the drivers and they're Eminence and look very much like the Deltalites.
vinorange Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Have a bump from me for a fellow DR bass cab owner! 1
Bigwan Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 So much want this cab... and the Trace head to go with it!!! Too far away... 1
eubassix Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Great cab(s) _ I have the 1260 compact (Eminence Gamma 12". Eminence LA6cbmr 6.5" + Horn) 300/8 :- 2

ebenezer Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Do believe they came in around 50lbs fitted with the deltalite's
bigthumb Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Well, it seems that there’s not a lot of interest here. So I’m willing to trade it for a bass with some cash added by me. I’d be very interested in a G&L Tribute ideally or something with a value of around £400 that takes my fancy. 4 string only and RH.
bigthumb Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Back up for sale as a potential ebay sale fell through. £200 collected. I really need this gone and still would consider trading for a G&L Tribute. I tried to get suitable packaging to ship this as a few were interested but nothing good enough has come in at work. 2
funkydoug Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 That’s a ludicrously good price for a quality cab … reflects the sorry state of the market in the aftermath of covid Hope you find a buyer soon bud. 1
Doddy Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 This is tempting.....and I've got a gig in St Helens in a couple of weeks.
