Combo with best low end??

[Rob667]

Looking to add a 1x12 or maybe 1x15 combo for new project but would really like to not miss the low end I get with my main rig.

Thought?

Old Mesa with an EV speaker?

Thanks

Normal rig is Mesa single Rectoverb and 2x12 cab. Thanks
I would love to find something easy and portable ... Even a Tech 21 Trademark 30 comes to mind

Stiletto Ace 112. These have a closed back, one of only a very few with this configuration. Otherwise a Mark III or IV with the EVM, or a Mark IV Wide-Body.

But in all honesty, most BF and tweed Fender combos have about the most bass available.

Something close backed for certain.

Agreed, closed back will give you all the low end you need. A head and 1x12 cab (especially a Mesa Thiele cab) may be the better way to go.

I bet a 1X12 closed back with a Swamp Thang in it would perform well.

I will vouch for the mighty EVM speaker. I have a MkIV wide body with a Black Shadow, which I found a little lacking by itself, so I added the unassuming looking but powerful Thiele extension cab with a single EVM and it is heavenly now! Even on the 15 watt Class A setting I usually use, it will drive me out of the room before it runs of breath.

I haven't used EVMs but I can say that the Mesa C90s have a lot of oomph. I'm a big fan, I had a 4x12 made with them.

The Express 5:50+ combo has one of these in it and it has a lot of thump. But it is open back. I converted mine to a head, kept the black shadow and put it in an external Stone Age custom 1x12 cab. It can be easily converted to closed back although I have not done so. I'm all about low end and I'm pretty happy with this rig.
