Good cabinet for 5string Stingray (2x10)

[Niwatrak]

So ... what schould it be ? Something for 5string stingray, 2x10 or 2x12. Allready checked EBS 2x10 (piece of **** ...), now thinking about mesa boogie 2x10 or 2x12 (powerhouse), other choise is markbass 2x10. Any suggestions ?

Check out the Mesa M-Pluse Venture (Got a chance to use one for a while... LOVE IT)... I'm a big fan of Mesa... and 12s... and this is coming from someone that's using SWR 8x10 stack...

Don't frget to try out a Carvin 2x10 , those things can really handle the low B.
My personal favorites at the moment (and for a while now) have been a pair of SWR 2x12's. Which have sadly been discontinued for a while now.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Bergantino HT-210
Epifani UL-210 or 212
GK Neo 212
GK RBH 210
Ernie Ball Audiophile HD210

Any of those would do nicely.

Why are you looking for a 2x10 cab? (IMO none can really handle the low B)
If it is because of weight and size, why not check out the Phil Jones Bass amps?

 

[Brim]

For a huge low B, give an Eden D210xst a try. Eden says it goes to 30hz....it's my only cab right now (paired with an Eden wt550 head). I use it with my Dingwall Afterburner-II...the low B sounds incredible through it.

 

[Niwatrak]

Why 2x10? Well the size is a problem, another one - I live in central Europe, a very interesting place to live. For a example - new stingray 4 string is for 2300$ . But we have only EBS, GK, SWR, Markbass, Trace, EBS and Ampeg, nothing more , I have to wait one month if I want to buy a new mesa cabinet, and I can't even check it. So I have to know if 2x10 or 2x12 mesa can handle lower b...

 

[asianjeff]

Yes the 2x12 Mesa can easily handle the low B.

Yes, absolutely on the Eden. I play my stingrays through it and get a great low B tone. Absolute hit and usually you can find them at a great price used. get the Eden!!

I have an Acme 2x10 - it laughs at the low B string on my SR5.

Order your cabinet online and let it ship from the US. With these $ exchange rates it will save you money on most brands.

I just had a gig with my Eden set. 410XLT and 210 XST. Can't say I was really impressed. (yet)
But my SR5 HH sounded enormous through the big P.A out front
Thanks guys for making such great basses!

 

[phat5]

another +1 for the Acme B-2.

 

[nashman]

+1 Eden D210XST (not XLT).

 

[Psychicpet]

the XST is a great cab but I'd say if you already thought that a 210 was poo then maybe look into a 2x12" of some sort or even the Epifani Performance series 1x15" is supposed to be killer. Tighter than your average 1x15" but still deep.

No love for the Phil Jones Bass stuff anymore?
Still wish I could get my testing hands on some of them around here...

 

[Dees]

I'd say go for EBS. Definitely the best speakers I have ever heard. I own one too. They're easy to get in Europe (I live in Belgium)

easy now, , I always have love for PJB!!! but I don't always feel up for the hard sell

in this scenario though, the new Neo-Power 8B would be the cat's pajamas!!

seriously Niwatrak, after you've given the Epifani 1x15" a go, be sure to try Phil's new light weight stufff..... KILLER!
