Alternatives as good as Schroeder?

[Chopthebass]

It looks like my ordered Schroeder 210212L cab won't be coming because Nationwide have lost my money whilst wiring it to Jorg!

I'm looking for an alternative, and ideally I don't want to go any heavier, so probably no more than 32kg or 70LB. Multiple cabs in a option that I'd consider. I will be running either a GK1001 or a DB750.

One idea was to use two Aguilar GS112 or DB112's whilst using the GK head, and use three of them with the DB750 (2.6-ohms). Any thoughts on this? TEC Amp do some good spec cabs, but I can't find any reviews.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers
Ian

Why don't you ask them to do it again... properly, this time?

You'll struggle to find reviews of the Tech/Tecamp stuff but if you are anywhere near the NE you are more than welcome to try my 30kg 6x10!

Out of the Tecamp range the 610 is the one that most appealed. Thanks for the offer of trying your cab, but I very rarely venture north of Harlow!!

Before I can get my money back or start again, they'll need to re-call it. And doing that, they still have to find the funds! This has been going on for 5 weeks and the trouble is that because Nationwide are a Building Society, they have to go through the HSBC in the UK, and then HSBC in New York. You can see how confusing it is!

Shame, I forgot to import the review of my Tech cabs over from the previous forum!

If you want some info about Tech I'll knock something up for you.

This is a version of my old rig [url="http://www.danveall.co.uk/rig1.JPG"]http://www.danveall.co.uk/rig1.JPG[/url] 2 4x10 cabs - 2.4KW ;o)

Why don't you try SHX? (Brighton, I think?)

They had some offers on in July and maybe they'd have something in stock to suit you.

Worth a thought anyway and maybe less hassle.

Schroeder alternative ? IMHO there isn't any ... sorry

[Chopthebass]

Crikey Dood, that's some rig!!

I would like to see a review of Tecamp stuff.

I did contact SHX but they didn't have the 210212L or the 412L that I really wanted.

I've heard so much about these cabs and I really don't want to look at alternatives (except maybe the Tecamp!)

Cheers guys

The Tech cabs are very good. My 2 12" cabs are light, sound great (IMO) and are very portable and take up hardly any footprint area on stage.

They also sound amazing with the Eden Nemesis 650.



I'd love to try one of the 4x12's though........

Course there are - although whether they float your boat without the mid hump is another matter.

If you fancy venturing down to J9 or 10 of the M25 you're welcome to try out my Tech 2 x 12 and mini 15. The 2 x 12 is a beast of a cab - serious punch and clarity.

That's what I meant Bass Ferret. If you're after a cabinet that's light & portable then that's different but of all the cabs I've tried, none give me the low-mid bump like the schroeder does, not lightweight anyway.
