Best Neo Bass head and Cabs in your Opinion

[PleyswethSqwerl]

I’m wondering what is the best lightweight bass head and neo cab “In Your OPINION” {Emphasis Added}. The music world has turned to the light, weight cabs and heads as its preference for clubbing and concert venues. I’m curious as to what bassists think is the best.

I've just asked the moderator to move this to "Amps & Cabs" for you.

I think Demeter for amps and Vanderkley for cabs are my lightweight options atm.

best lightweight bass head and neo cab “In Your OPINION”

Peavey Headliner 1000...

my favorite because it's rack size, extremely powerful, mono, simple controls, no tubes, and only 10lbs... everything I want in a head and nothing I don't.

I simply can't pick one neo cab- I have a few that are awesome for different reasons, but I know there are plenty out there I'd like equally.

I play through a Mesa Boogie TT-800 and a pair of Mesa Subway 115s. Two channels, great tube tones from vintage to modern, plenty of volume and punch, and the best 15" speakers I've ever played. Often, I only need one cab. Either way, everything is light weight and easy to carry in & out.

Check their websites (Barefaced Audio, GR Bass), or better, their official TB threads if you want to know how well they are received by members of the comunity:
Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club
Official GR Bass Club

I’m very happy with my Fender 6-10 Neo cabinet, which I use with a Fender Bassman 800 HD head.

Mesa and Bergantino

So many good choices, imo you can’t go wrong if you stick to a top brand ampeg, GK, markbass, fender, mesa boogie. No bad choices just need to find the right setup for you. Imo

I think the BEST is the one amp/cab combination that makes one break into a large silly grin every time they play through it.
Try some out to see what you think; your post will likely draw players to post what they themselves own, not what is best to your ears.

I heard the TT 800, WD 800, and the D 800+ are phenomenal.

Mesa D800+ and Mesa Subway 212

What do you all think about the Orange Terror Bass 500? It didn’t make the short list.

Mesa D800+ and Mesa Subway 212

I heard this combination was stellar by another user. Also recommended was the GK legacy with the 212.
