Members T. Alan Smith Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 im putting a band together, im not a gigging player yet... still studying... still very young What do you have now? You could invest in a decent combo(Peavey TNT, Ampeg 100R) that will get the job done and be a nice backup years down the road. That way when your ready to upgrade your rig, you can take your time and do it right. What's your overall budget(head/cab)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your overall budget(head/cab)? i want a head and a cab... i want something good... something that i can rely on for my life, you know... i dont need that much power... but i want it... i want it to be able to say: this is it, i dont need anything more then this... God willing, i will need more then that, but not for a long long long time! i already have a 100W combo, and i cant get the sounds i want out of it no matter how... i want a head and a cab really... im not sure yet about my budget, but it'll be around 1100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you KNOW you want that 1001 head, just get it. That way, you can take it along with your bass to try out cabs and cab configurations. Gig with your combo 'til you have the $$ to get exactly what you want. Take your time. Be patient. It'll be worth it. I head like the 1001 can go to the grave w/you if you give it proper tender loving care. When I mention Eden, I'm talking 'real' Edens; not Nemesis. If you want inexpensive cabs, look no furthur than Peavey. If you want special cabs, $ave up for 'em. Not only is it worthy, and your head deserving of it, but for cryin' out loud, it's only a few extra months of gigging income bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find some nice ones that are Black Widow loaded, you'll be rockin' in no time. They're a little dark for me, but look at the gear James Hart rocks, and he uses TWO 1820 cabs! But yeah.

Members Poltergeist Posted October 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 ok, ive heard great things about them... their price is really good and they are relatively lightweight and stuff... but the RBH are such great great cabs... i love them... for what they are, theyre not expensive (i wanted a 410), its just that i cant afford them... if i lived in america, with this money i'd buy the 410RHB and the head and still have money left for pedals and stuff... its horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth the money and you will get the tone to die for with it. My problem with buying something as standby until you can afford what you want, is that you lose money on it. I would find the cheapest cab out there that will hold you over if you are going to do it that way..that way you don't lose much. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted October 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 but a 210 RBH is something ive wanted for a long long time... i also want a 410RBH... that would be like... my perfect combo, you know?... only thing that would beat that, to me, would be the old Mesa 8x10 Roadready cabs.... if i can afford the GK that i will buy one... if i cant... i'll just buy a peavey 210 or something like that, or try to borrow one from someone in here...

Members willsellout Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 I love the 4x10RBH cabs cause you can tilt them up which helped me hear myself better when playing out. A standard 4x10 I always had to lift off the ground to really hear myself completely. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 They are the Backline to GK...Nothing wrong with them,. just nowhere near as nice as the Eden cabs. Exactly. Do you want Eden or Nemesis cabs. They are NOT the same. If the tone gets you off, then there ya go. ...as long as they are constructed as well.
