I still recommend an Avatar but if you want a Bag End go for one of these:

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]I was planning on only buying one cab. I dont really need two. Do I?[/QUOTE]

You dont need 2 now but think about the long term. Its only a resomedation, though there are more advantages to having 2 cabs.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:33 PM

What would I need two for?

Is this a good deal.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:35 PM

If you want to be louder in a band or gig setting. And Having a 115 and a 210 or 410, sounds great, theres a nice balance of bass and treble. Its all about what you need and your preferance. If you only need 1 get 1.

What's the difference between the Neomydium and the standard magnets?

No, its not powerful enough, you need at least 700 watts RMS. Dont just look at the peak wattage.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:37 PM

For now I'm not in a band. I play stuff that ranges from progressive to classical to shred, but I also play lots of funk. What setup would you suggest for that? I hear avatars 2x12 is a good stand alone cab, but would a 2x10 and 1x15 be better for my music?

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:38 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]What's the difference between the Neomydium and the standard magnets?[/QUOTE]

Neodynium is a very powerful magnet, thus you can use a smaller magnet made of neodynium in a speaker making it lighter and in some casses more powerful.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:39 PM

so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?

A 212 will be fine, though a 210/115 setup woud give you better sound definition in the very high and low ranges.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:39 PM

Okay, I've decided to just hit the BX3000T. As I plan to go two cabs anyhow, 300 watts should be more than enough for the setting I'll be using them in. Besides, my guitarist has a THIRTY FRIGGIN' WATT AMP. Any future gigs won't need more than the 300 watts that the BX3000T + two cabs can give me. I'm going 2x12 + 4x10 so it'll be loud either way.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?[/QUOTE]

Neo.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

So should I get an 8 ohm 2x10 for now?

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:40 PM

Hey, did Avatar stop selling Ashdown heads?

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:41 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]Hey, did Avatar stop selling Ashdown heads?[/QUOTE]
No. From what I recall, an Avatar 2x12 + Ashdown MAG300H is 500-some USD.

4x10+2x12 Avatar for me. I'll have a kickass rig by Christmas time. :D

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]so... Avatar Neo or Avatar Delta? Which would give me a clearer sound?[/QUOTE]

Thier about the same sound wise the only major difference is that the NEO is lighter. The sound difference is minimul.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

I was leaning towards a 4x10...

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

I dont recommend avatar 4x10. From what Ive heard, its just loud. Not very good dound quality.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:42 PM

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]So should I get an 8 ohm 2x10 for now?[/QUOTE]

If thats what you want.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:43 PM

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]I dont recommend avatar 4x10. From what Ive heard, its just loud. Not very good dound quality.[/QUOTE]

The 410 Delta is OK, but the PRO is fantastic.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:44 PM

I haven't extensively tried different speaker configs, so I dont know. Which would handle highs as well as a B string (for when i get a 6er)

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:45 PM

Well for a 6er I recommend a 2 cab setup, like a 10/15. The 15 will really hold down that B while the highs will sing out of the 10s.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:47 PM

Okay, so maybe I will just get the 2x10. Its cheaper and if it supports my needs more, Ill go for it. Which speakers do you recommend? Delta, Neo, or Pro?

(What I really want is an SWR Henry the 8x8 haha)

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:48 PM

The 95 pounds on the Avatar 4x10 Pro is sort of scary. :p I might just go for a 2x10 Pro.

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:49 PM

Delta is thier basic, Neo is a bit better and lighter, and the Pro is the creme of the ceop, it depends on how much you want to spend.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:49 PM

95 isn't too much....

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:49 PM

I'd heard that two excellent rigs are the 2x12+2x10 and 2x12+1x15.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:49 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]95 isn't too much....[/QUOTE]

Where I have the music stuff in my house is the 3rd floor.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:50 PM

Probably neo. I can afford to spend the extra 20. Why is it better?

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:50 PM

So the 40$ more is worth it, tenfold?

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:51 PM

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]Probably neo. I can afford to spend the extra 20. Why is it better?[/QUOTE]

Lighter magnets. I'd say go Pro if you're going 2x10.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:51 PM

See, I DON'T HAVE STAIRS!!!


Freedom!

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:51 PM

Its worth springing for the Pro, its really an incredible cab.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:52 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]See, I DON'T HAVE STAIRS!!!


Freedom![/QUOTE]

The stairs in my house going up to the third floor suck too in that they're spiral. :upset:

On the plus side, I have the entire third floor to myself. After December, the big one is going to be a sick room.

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:52 PM

I'll think about it after a possible trip to me local GC to look at cabs and heads...

FUNKNBASS 11-27-2004 01:52 PM

I also recommend getting the casters, they really help, its a lot harder to pickup or push a 90 pound cab, then it is to roll it.

Mr. Jiggy Fly 11-27-2004 01:53 PM

Whats the difference in the 3 cabs?

PaulSimonon 11-27-2004 01:53 PM

I'll get the casters, though. Save me some trouble.

Foxfire 11-27-2004 01:53 PM

^ If I go 2x10 and 2x12 I'll have 65 pound and a 72 pound cabs to deal with (respectively). I'll still try and get them for the 2x12, I think.
