Damn good sense. I'm looking for a small cab that's 4 ohms and the only ones I like the look of are the EA Whizzy cabs. Seriously light and small.

Light (22kgs), small (ish), powerful (330W), reliable, can easily extend with a D-bass 115x cabinet. I use one for all our small and medium pub and club gigs, only having to use the extension cab for audiences of more than 100 people. I was lucky - bought mine as an ex-demo model with warranty 2 years ago for £300, and they still do sell for this occasionally (Andertons, I think). On balance the tone seems to be a little more towards the bright rather than boomy end, (but that may be my playing style - I'm always told to turn up the bass tone no matter what guitar or amp I'm using). In any case, you just switch it to "Vintage" if you want boom-thud. If anybody wants to come round and try it out - just let me know.
