Members niggardly panda Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 So I bought a Music Man HD-130 head and i'm looking for a bass cabinet to go with it. Will any old bass cabinet or speakers do? What wattage should I look for? I want to get that tube grind like Weezer or Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing your budget would be helpful, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the back panel. Knowing your budget would be helpful, too. It's 130 watts @ 8 ohms, honestly I don't want to spend much but maybe around 200-300 bucks used? I'd probably be gear hunting on Craigslist. Thinking about picking up a Fender Bassman 2x12 that some white trash lady has for sale on there: http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/msg/1501324691.html and sticking some new speakers in it.

Members solderjunkie Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 Tube amps like 15's... I'm making a generalization. The cool thing about 15's is as you crank the amp most 15's won't reproduce as much high-end distortion as most 10" drivers will. More clean headroom and more usable volume are a good thing.

You might be able to find one at the price. If you want something bigger, a Peavey 410 TX is a good choice among the budget cabs. Should be within your budget.

The dust covers don't look right to me. Without original drivers, I would stay way. If everything is original, then the price is fabulous. The nice thing about Bag End 15" cabs is that the mids are very pronounced and the lows aren't too boomy. They'll give you a nice, growly tone.

Members der oxenrig Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just in case he can still read, the Music Man isn't all tube, it's hybrid... solid state preamp with tube poweramp. It won't grind... it'll give you more of a synthy fuzz, which turns into a massive fart with bass. Precisely why I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they came in both for the 130's. I'm no expert, but I think the HD-150's were all a hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpax Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hartke is not good and yes, it is just crap that people should throw in the garbage - ALL people. The earth must be cleansed of Hartke. So yeah, can anybody suggest a good cab? Is Hartke any good or is it just crap people should throw in the garbage?
