Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been on the market for a new bass cab for a while now. I keep being torn between Eden or Ampeg. However, when I came across this deal I simply had to buy it. I figured for $350 if I didn't like it I could always just resale it or use it as a practice cab. However, I doubt that I will be getting rid of it.
First of all, this combo shipped from Seismic fast, and I had it the next day. With free shipping its a steal. Honestly, where else are you going to get a 4x10 AND 1x15 cab for $350? Nowhere! I really am impressed with this rig, in fact so much that I believe I will be gigging with it until I decide what route I'm going to go in the Ampeg/Eden decision. An average bass player that is performing a lot will love this! Let me highlight some things:
First, the cons. There really are not that many. Considering what I paid for this setup, I wouldn't complain at all. But for reviews sake, lets go over them. 1- There is no adjustable horn. I pretty much demand this feature, but I can get by fine without it. For this price I will probably just buy one myself and install it in the cab. 2- The speakers are kind of flat. They by no means sound bad, in fact they are simply impressive! However, after playing on higher end cabs, I do notice a little tone difference. Nothing a little tweaking wouldn't fix.
Ok the pros. First, price. Simply amazing for the quality. Both cabs are solid built, look great, and best of all are extremely light and compact, making them easy to move around. Both cabs are 8 ohm, so they are the perfect choice for my 4 ohm head (I've been having trouble finding cabs that I can put together because most of the ones I've looked at are 4 ohm cabs). The sound quality for this price is unmatchable. The speakers can handle plenty of power and so far I haven't heard any breakup or distortion, and thats using both my 4 string Traben and 6 string ESP (both actives). I was expecting something cheap, but this is a solid product. Don't be fooled by the price tag. Most of the time the only thing that you are really paying for is the brand name. Do you think say, Marshall for example, started off selling their gear for high prices? Oh no, they built a rep and then they could charge for their name. I own a lot of big name gear, and then I own a lot of off-brand cheap stuff that blows it away. If your are worried because you haven't heard of Seismic, don't fear.
My verdict is, if you're short on cash pick this up. Also would be an excellent setup for a beginner because its high quality enough to serve as a pro unit later in their career. I still intend on buying an Ampeg or Eden, simply because a high-dollar cab of that magnitude is hard to out-perform, but I think this little setup is great! Its everything you need and more. There isn't a lot of reviews, videos, or anything like that for Seismic's bass cabs but don't let that change your mind when it comes to buying. If you're looking to spend about $350-400 this is your best bet. Period. Stay away from the Gallien Krueger crap.
