i was either going to do that or get a 2x10 bass cab for it. like this one.

https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/acoustic-bn210-600w-2x10-bass-speaker-cabinet

they would have matched better but the speakers aren't as nice in this one, and its 10 dollars more new.

I have one of these. Def worth the money. Also looking into a 2x10 option instead though which will be easier to lug around if I need an extension cab.

a little bit more about this amp.

its got 3 channels, built in reverb, built in saltbooser, all switchable on pedal.

its got a 1/2 power toggly on the front of the amp. and then like a pentode switch on the back...or triode...i cant remember. i have fucked around with it and cant tell any difference in tones, anyone know how to use these?

and then with TRAWN i got 2 more select-able overdrives that i can apply any of the 3 channels.

what I normally use is Clean Channel, boost on, and THRAWN with the right light on whatever that is. lol. i think the right side is called King of Tone circuit.

I saw some guy on YouTube reviewing it, he came to the conclusion that it's probably something of a loss leader for the brand since the speakers alone cost more than the cab. Definitely a steal!

I remember when I first joined shortscale (2008, despite what my profile says thanks Miek) that loads of people had those - think Hurb had one. There was talk then about it being cheaper than you could actually buy two Vintage 30s for.

Pair it with a Tiny Terror for ultimate oldskool shortscale m@j@.

What is the difference between closed and open back cabinetes? Better low end in a closed construction?

yeah its tighter sounding, i've seen combos and cabs that have a removable back panel so you can choose how you want the bass response to sound

I had one of these as the first cab I ever owned. I was a damn fool for selling it.

I got one years ago from Hurb. It's a great cab, especially for the money.
