stewblack Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I have a pair of very narrow speaker cabs. I assumed that a particular head would fit them when they are stacked vertically. However there are a few millimetres overhanging on either side. This, of course, renders the set up entirely unusable. Sensing the opportunity to buy more gear, I am in the market for a bass head no wider than 10 inches. I am aware so far of the Elf, Gnome, Bam, and Harley Benton Block. Can you recommend any others? Ideally with precise measurements. Ta. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I can't access my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 at the moment but online it is listed at exactly 10 inches wide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think we have a winner though... 5.04 inches wide. 12.8cm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) TC BH250 is 9.6", the BQ250 and BQ500 are both listed as 10". Was looking at the HB Block 800B recently, looks like a crazy amount of amp for the money. Remember the colour has to match as well otherwise the width is irrelevant and you'll need to buy yet another amp.

lemmywinks Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) Phil Jones also do some narrow amps: BP-800 is 7.5" wide (albeit really long so may overhang at the back) D-400 is 9.6" BP-200 is 6.9" Edited July 10 by lemmywinks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 (edited) Actually I just remembered I have one of these in the loft. It needs fixing though. That means a courier and expense and it won't be a new amp when I get it back will it? Edited July 10 by stewblack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Sadly, a Tecamp Puma 900 is 10.6" wide so it would overhang by 0.00003788 furlongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Colour doesn't even match either. Not surprising the rest of the band have left the stage in protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
