geoffbassist Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 hey guys, sorry for the boring post but i was hoping for some advice as ive been going round in circles trying to find the right cabs.. I play mostly jazz/soul/funk I have recently got a db750 which i love. However with my schroder 21012 it was just too boomy...and i like an old school bass sound but it was really too much...However with my old solid sate head it was amazing...but the DB750 won out and i sold the schroeder i was thinking of getting an aggie DB210..eventually 2... or 1 and a DBx12..do you guys find them clear enough with the 750? i could go for something really hi fi like the bergs, but they dont have aguilar on the front! Also they are really expensive...i dont usually do hifi cabs, in the past ive owned a Euphonic audio 210 that was too hi fi, but with the DB750 it might have been a great match.. cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 yeh i thought so....i would be well up for 2x210s's but they are so expensive.....mmmm...ive heard the HS seem so have the edge on sound over the AE series which is good as they are about £100 less per 2x10...

They have a fat, clear, punchy sound that has impressed all the bands I play with. I use the AE112 with an acoustic guitarist and both cabs with most of the other bands. I use my UL410, sometimes with the Boogie 115, with the very loud guys. I like the Bergantino's tight bass and punchy mids and would also get an AE410 if a used one came up. I haven't heard the HS cabs but the reviews I've read put the AE and HS cabs very close together. I went for the modular AE cabs as my back is troubling me these days. I can't think of a downside to owning these cabs, though they are expensive. If you can get to Warwick and hear the cabs at Mark's shop I'm sure you would walk away with one. I went to get the AE112 and left with the AE210 as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 hey chris, thanks for your reply....im not far from bass direct so will try and get some funds in place and go and see for myself but im thinking more and more about the bergs being the best long term option...im also getting bored of lugging heavy gear about.... cheers geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi.... i've heard a 750 through a HS410 and it's awesome..... also heard it through a pair of HS210's same if not better !! However, i'm now using SWR cabs (Goll III & SOB) and it's killer...... A really good match for the 750's grunt. Adding an EBS MultiComp to the equation just makes it perfect !

warwickhunt Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you are on a pilgrimage across the Pennines, you could turn left (hoon it a fair few miles up the road ) and you could blast through my DB12s and I'd likely as not be able to persuade WoT to bring along his Berg 2x10s... maybe the above mentioned SWRs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefletch59 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Hi Geoff I've got a HS410 you can try if you like ( WoT's old one ), I'm just outside Sheffield if thats any closer for you. Cheers Steve Oh and I've got an Ampeg SVT 410HLF you can try as well if thats your sort of thing.

51m0n Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would have to say an ae410 wouldn't I If you want it to sound a bit more old school, just turn the (fabulous) tweeter all the way down). I dig old school as much as anyone and this nails it for me. Its earth shattering for its size, and IMO sounds every bit as good as an HS410, and weighs significantly less.
