I've been playing Carvin for 15 years and I needed something to get down
to low F#, while looking I came across Basson. This 8x10 cab is the end
all cab for any bassist. It's power hungry but I use a separate power amp
and a pre amp to run this beast. It won't disappoint and always impresses.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking to shake the earth!

This
thing is pure AWESOME! Ever gone...

This thing is pure AWESOME! Ever gone to shows and watched the bass player
try to get a good sound in the house because his little wimpy junk sounding
portable bass rig cannot be heard over one (not to mention two) guitars
and drums? I have gigged this cab in large venues as well as outdoor venues
and rarely even have to go into the house mix at all! I play with two
VERY loud guitarists with Marshall and Mesa stacks and a VERY loud drummer.
Finally they are the ones asking ME to turn down because they cannot hear
themselves! Justice served!! This thing will make other bassists sick
because they purchased something else! Sounds like pure thunder with clarity
and punch that I have found NOWHERE else! I play a six string bass and
this cab handles the low B as well as the high C with pure authority.
I have yet to make it break up at all with my SVT 4 PRO! I have tried
ALL the other fridge sized cabs because I wanted something that would
make people KNOW that there is a bassist in the band...this cab outperformed
ALL other cabs! It is also built sturdy. Don't miss out on pure bass just
to get a light weight cab. You will regret not buying this cab so just
buy it already and find out what a bass cab is supposed to do!

This cabinet paired up with an Ampeg svt 4 pro is exactly what a bass
should sound like. Awesome sounding for the backbone of any song, and
it'll rip it out too! ! ! ! Extremely road worthy for touring, what the
hell, it's pro grade equipment! ! !

One of the meanest cabs ever. I use this cabinet with my Ampeg Pro 4 and
crank it more than half way and it never distorts. Ive played many bass
cabinets over my 20 year career and this one by far is the best.

This
is a review for the Basson 8x10B...

This is a review for the Basson 8x10B Bass Cabinet. Silver cover, giant
commercial-strength handle and tilt-back casters for easy moving. 2 speaker-on
connectors for the amp which are far more reliable and better for this
type of power output. The sound out of this is unreal. I run a Euro Spector
4string through an Ampeg SVT4 and I dominate all other amps, hands down.
The bass/mids/highs can get up to riduculous, but they never break up,
the tone is always clear and defined with no distorion whatsoever. Cabinet
holds up to 2000 watts, and I'm not even close at 1600 with my Ampeg SVT4.
If you can sell all your other gear like I did and get this, by all means,
do it!!!!
