Hi there, writing from Patagonia Argentina here!First of all sorry for the long post.
So, i’m thinking about upgrading my cab but don’t know what to look for. Basically this is my rig:
MarkBass Compressore
Darkglass B7Ku
Peavey Tour 450
Peavey 410TVX
The basses I use are a Squier Precision CV 70’s and a G&L Tribute L2K. My tone sits on the ‘middier’ side (not boomy)influenced by Duff Mackagan and Lemmy to quote a few. I play with Dunlop Heavy Core’s downtuned to C#. Sometimes I add a chorus, or overdrive if the song needs it.
I like what I’ve accomplished. In live situation/rehearsals I hardly get buried in the mix. The thing is this cab weighs a TON and it’s a PITA to handle. Got the opportunity to get another one but left it because of it’s weight (one PITA is better than two, right?). On the amp side, it’s OK but in a near future would want to trade it for a Mesa Subway.
I’d want something with the same capabilities and less weight, easier to carry, like two smaller cabs. GK neo 212 is one that comes to my mind, also Orange OBC115 and would love to try a 610HLF. I know, very different cabs. I do not want to do weird mixes, just one medium sized cab easier to handle(610, 215) or two smaller preferably. What do you think?
Very Important note: a GK 212 neo cab is worth 1000USD here, same goes with the Orange…and this are on the cheap side!!
Like I said, I live in the south of the country over 1000miles from Capital Federal where all the big retailers are, so I’m kind of submitted to what they would ship and what already exists near my town.
Any thoughts would be apreciated.
