BC208 vs Warwick Gnome CAB 10/8

[FretsOnFire]

Of the two which is the better? Asking people that know about this kind of stuff as I've not found much online.

 

My amp of choice is a BH 250

Also is there much difference between a 10/8 and a 12/4?

Well, one is a 1x10 cab running at 8 ohms and the other is a 1x12 cab running at 4 ohms. And about £100 difference from what i can see.

 

You'll only get about half your amps potential power into the 10/8

 

The 12" speaker will probably sound a bit deeper than the 10"

 

The single 10" one will probably not have enough oomph at pub gig levels

 

Go and try them out.....

I very much doubt a cheap 2x8 is going to keep up with the drums in a pub band. At 4 ohms it won't know what to do with all the power but you can't build a tower power of 2ohm.

If you are looking at 2x8 cabs then I can highly recommend the GR Bass GR208/4 500w. Thunderous little thing and easily copes with live gigging and acoustic drums in a pub rock band. I use a 500w head with it and it does seem to like a bit of power.

I gig with the gnome 10/8, its a great thing, but it isn't enough on its own. I also go through the PA so the speaker is just there to provide an onstage sound to those of the band that don't have in ears.
