Waddycall Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I’ve decided to take a break from bands and concentrate on developing my fretless skills. As a result I’ve sold my fretted bass and my much loved Vanderkley 210LNT which was the best sounding cab I’ve ever had - but too much for home use only. can anyone recommend a small cab for home use that has similar full range frequency response? I loved the sound of that Vanderkley but I want something small like a 110 or smaller really. any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 One of @stevieLFSys new 10" cabs. They should be available within a few weeks, and the prototypes sound great. https://www.lfsys.co.uk/bassguitarproducts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Probably a little bigger than your requirements but an Aguilar sl112 might be worth a look. Compact and 25lbs. Lovely, full and round bloom with fretless and plenty of definition and focus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) I have a pair of Schroeder Mini 8L cabs if you're interested. http://www.schroedercabinets.com/cabinets.html Edited April 25, 2023 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddycall Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thanks chaps. Probably should have given a budget! Not really looking to spend more than say £300 so I think that probably rules out the suggestions so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to come-up for sale very often and I'm not sure that a commission would bring one in on budget, though maybe worth a look around?

fretmeister Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The Barefaced One10 is now available with a Tweeter. If that floats your boat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A used EA Wizzy would also fit the bill as would a CXL110 if you can manage the weight.

Phil Starr Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) If you fancy a home build then one of these House Jam Micro Cab - Amps and Cabs - Basschat will do exactly the job you want. If not then from your FRFR needs I'd go a different route altogether. For Christmas this year I got a pair of 5" nearfield studio monitors. As they are designed for mixing uncompressed drums and bass at high volumes in small rooms they can absolutely handle your bass. they are also designed to be ruthlessly honest so FRFR is about as good as it gets. They are active so you don't need an amp and you can drive them off a Sansamp or a multi fx unit like the Zoom B1Four. They are so good I don't bother getting the PA out for rehearsals with my duo, two vox, bass, guitar and drum machine. loud enough to make your ears ring if you want. I've not bothered getting a bass amp out at home . There is absolutely no need. I went for the RCF Lyra but Yamaha and loads of others do equally good versions. Around £300 new for a pair and widely available used because people seem to upgrade studio stuff quite often.

TheGreek Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Such is the case when one has so much gear I forgot that I have 2 pairs of Trace Elliot 1x10 cabs. No information on the outside so can't say what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddycall Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Well the schroeders have arrived! Thanks Mick - great dealing with you 👍. yet to try them at volume but they look ace! Will probably split them into one in the spare room and one in the living room. Edited April 28, 2023 by Waddycall 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
