RichardH Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Cheap options needed really, as I will be selling it on in a couple of months time. Been looking for secondhand stuff, but the Markbass 102Ps etc all seem to go for £350+ - not that far off new price. Other secondhand stuff is miles away from me (Lewes, East Sussex) - so not too many options. Only ones being an Ampeg SVT210AV and a little 150W Ashdown vs112 - both of which are probably a bit underpowered maybe? Only need it to cover a couple of gigs until my "proper" cabs are ready.... So, new options that I might not lose too much money one that come to mind are: Ashdown RM-112T-EVO II GK NEO 112-II Markbass Traveler 121H? Markbass Traveler 102P? Any other ideas? Or could I get away with that Ampeg.... I'm wondering if it could with a bit of PA support... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSeagull Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Shame. Had an Ashdown 1x12 ABM Neo that would have done the job but just sold it - and just down the road in Burgess Hill. Edited June 16, 2022 by SuperSeagull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 From the new options listed I’d go for the Markbass 102P, purely down to it being two speaker cones so moving more air. All of the brands mentioned are good but I think this one would handle being a standalone cab better. I had one of the Ampeg 210AV cabs and whilst it sounded great, due to its very small size I wouldn’t have wanted to gig it on its own.

Yes, I did the sound for a gig using one of those, and I seem to remember it needed a lot of PA support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 On eBay there's a 102P for sale in Lancing, but it's up for £350 + £15 shipping (would cost a bit to drive over to collect!) - and Andertons have them new for £389! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost messaged that eBay seller to tell him I could buy a new one delivered for £24 more than he was asking, but then thought why bother!? I have a traveller 151P going spare which I would let go for £220, but I’m a looooong way away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - my daughter lives in Lytham, and in fact is visiting us at the moment, but not sure she would have appreciated dragging that down on the train as well as the baby 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Have a look on Facebook marketplace, There's a Hartke 2x10 and Warwick 15 both £75 near you. An Eden 4x10 £225 and another Eden 4x8 for £110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hmmm - can't find either of those - found a WCA 211 pro for £120 but that will weigh a ton! There's a chap in Burgess Hill selling what was a Warwick CCL but without the amp (has a pitchblack pro in it at the moment), tarted up with fender grillcloth etc. He's actually sold the korg, but not sure whether £120 or so for an unknown 1x12 is sensible....

SuperSeagull Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 That’s Hartke 2x10 for £75 in Haywards Heath looks good and the seller is friends with a couple of people I know so that may (or may not!) be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardH Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ahh - found it now - blimey, Marketplace is strange to search. I think I am sorted though, a certain person of this parish has offered me a loaner cab - all will be revealed shortly! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Starr Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The 4x8 looks an interesting buy for someone. If I was down there I'd definitely give it a punt at £110. It was called Son of Henry, made between 1994-97 with Henry VIII being the 8x8 speaker. Famously punchy apparently but looks to be becoming a collectors item. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Well, the loaner cab turned out to be a total stonker! @stevie sent me a spare BC112 "development" cab and it did a fantastic job. I'll let Stevie comment further on it if he chooses to, but I can't imagine needing more than one of these little beasties, particularly with the fitted driver. Here's a bit of video of it in action....
