Downunderwonder Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 What on Earth is OM / co play? Sounds like dressing up as a guru to play bass to the dog and cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Open Mic. A barefaced one ten would be an excellent pairing https://barefacedaudio.com/products/one_10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 A little 1x10 or 1x12 cab will work for you. Don't get hung up on wattage or even ohmage, most manufacturers give half truths and sometimes even tell outright lies. A 4 ohm cab will get the most from your amp but tbh the kind of useage you intend (at the moment) it won't make a jot of difference if it is 4 or 8 ohm; an 8 ohm cab that is possibly more sensitive than a comparable 4 ohm will even things out. An 8 ohm cab choice will mean that at some point in the future you can add a 2nd 8 ohm cab. You may need to go somewhere to A/B a few cabs to find something you like the sound of... all cabs do not sound the same! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 There's an Eden EX112 in the classifieds: I use my BH250 with a little EA CXL110 with a Basslite driver installed, goes more than loud enough for accompaniment so any 1x10, 1x12 or 2x8 should be sufficient. A lot of people paired them with the TC BH208: https://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_bc208_bass_cab.htm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I use a home-made BC micro cab for open mics, paired with a Tecamp Puma 900. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 13 hours ago, Geek99 said: Open mic / co-playing with one other person . Not a band That is how an OM session I used to play at regularly got started. After a couple of years of me adding bass we had full band jams, sometimes with multiple percussionists (minus drum set). Sadly Covid did it in. Point being, an extra cab can come in handy, mostly for the extra height, unless actual drumset shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 If I connect this to an 8ohm cabinet do I get an effective 125w ? buying a 2 x 8” tc can at 8ohm rated 250w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 More likely 2/3 of 4 ohm rating. I doubt a 2x8 is going to impress though. A pair of them would start to boogie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 (edited) I play at home, quietly, when kids in bed. It’s not a huge issue it will daisy chain though, I checked Edited May 27 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 If you play at home quietly when the kids are asleep, a decent pair of headphones would be a good choice and no risk of waking the rest of the household if you get a little too enthusiastic.
