Members nortone Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 I currently play in a indie rock synth pop band that is playing a lot of smaller clubs. We are a trio and tour in a car,so my giant 1x15 yorkville combo is taking up way too much space. I need a size solution while still keeping up with a drummer and guitarist. I'm thinking a 1x12 Mark traveller cabinet or something along those lines. I have a Peavey Firebass head that I could use through it. Any suggestions?

Members freeridstylee Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 avatar 1x12's are nice and pretty cheap. They're not super small (a 1x15 isn't much bigger) but they sound nice and aren't very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T. Alan Smith Posted October 22, 2008 Members Share Posted October 22, 2008 I can clearly see a 1x15 combo being too bulky/heavy for load-in / load-out ...but "giant" is hardly what I'd call a standard sized rig...especially for your situation. 1x12" combos are the biggest I'd go in a combo format, and the Markbass was the 1st thing to come to mind when reading your thread title. However, after seeing people push the Boogie combo, I gotta ask- what's your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nortone Posted October 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well I'm looking in the neighbourhood of $500 bucks. I have a head, so i'm really just looking for a good sounding smaller cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nortone Posted October 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have also been looking at the Phil Jones 4b 4x5 cab. It is pretty small, but I am not sure what 4x5's sound like. Anyone got any experience with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zon5string Posted October 22, 2008 Members Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was going to suggest the GK MBX112, since I like mine so well, but I got distracted by the new lightweight 500watt head they have....then I noticed the "special conditions" placed by Musician's Fiend....
