tim126 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi. I'm looking to get me a 4x10 cab to drive off my Ashdown ABM500. Considerations are: money (as little as poss!), noise/power (500-800W, 4 Ohms), Freq. response & SPL, and weight (I'm not as young as I used to be - as my back keeps telling me!). A keen contender is the Markbass 104HR, but the price! Sheesh! So, other contenders in the frame look to be: Ampeg B-410HLF, Gallien & Kruger NEO 410/4, Eden EN410XST, Warwick WCA411-4 PRO. Anybody got any suggestions, comments, recommendations?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If you do find a cheap, light, loud 4x10 with even frequency response, please let me know, as I think I'd like one of those too. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'll have one too! Theres a Mark 410 on for sale at the moment for 500 I think Or my 810! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim126 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 If I do, I'll be sure to mention it here... Thanks for the offer, Throwoff ... sadly, I don't think my car is big enough! (and replacing that is DEFINITELY out of the question!) Thanks for the tipoff about the 410... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussFM Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 But do you fit in your Fiat Punto with it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Just saw this.... of interest? not mine either!!! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=81003&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=81003&hl=[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phsycoandy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have an insanely loud Schroeder 410 light in the FS section. 26kg 1200w 4 ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIJ-VI Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Get two of these and stack them? Stacked, they'll be easier to hear and will offer better horizontal dispersion of mids & highs compared to a 4x10. Bonus feature: their tweeter can be switched completely off. Gallien Krueger 210MBE 8 Ohm, Bass Cabinet, 400 Watt @ 8 Ohm, 2x10" Neodymium Speaker, 1x Speakon and 1x 1/4" Speaker Input, Dimension 597x 495x 375mm, Weight 13,6 kg [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_210mbe.htm?feedid=4828"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_2...htm?feedid=4828[/url] BTW. According to Bob Gallien these cabinets use the same drivers as are employed in G-K's Neo Series 10" bass cabs.

Basska Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) USA ASHDOWN 4x10. 1050w @ 4ohm. Tweeter. 2 x Speakon and 1/4 jack inputs. Doesn't have a metal grille which is a downfall but at the same time it looks stunning, beautiful sound, and it's lightweight. £499.99 I've had mine for about 2 months and I love it!

RichardH Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 How about the [url="http://www.purple-chili.com/bass-cabs/pcb410t.htm"]Purple Chili PCB410T[/url] - 23.5kg. Proportion a bit different from the "usual" 4x10, so may not suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fit - 2 people, 8x10, my rack case, bass, pedal board, guitar, Fender hot rod combo, guitarist pedal board and bag in without too much trouble. First time was a pain in the arse but know I know the pattern its fairly simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Does the new cab have to be a 410? There are other options (2 210’s, a 212, 2 112's or a certain 115!) which are far more manoeuvrable, lighter, just as loud and with a great tone. Having said that, my 410 might be available soon!

tim126 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Cor Blimey! Well, I never knew you coould get to talk to so many bassists in just a couple of days! Ta to all for your replies and suggestions (well most of them...!!) I love the look (and the concept) of the Purple Chilli box.... if only I had more dosh... And the multiple 2x10s is something to bear in mind for when the body descends further into decrepitude... But for now I've struck a deal with Psychoandy for his Schroeder - now excitedly awaiting it's arrival, and getting set to move to a new level in the demolition game. Cheers chums! Tim. PS - Throwoff... I think perhaps we should just draw a veil of decency over what can be done in a Fiat Punto LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
