If your bass rig needs to be easier to carry without giving up a proper speaker cabinet, the Ampeg Venture VB112 is worth a close look. At 26.5 pounds, this compact 1x12 bass cabinet is a manageable partner for a separate bass head, with a custom voiced Lavoce neodymium woofer and a high frequency driver for definition.

A lighter cabinet for your working rig

Loading in for rehearsal or a small stage is simpler when your cabinet does not dominate the trip. The VB112 gives you a front ported enclosure in a compact format, with a high frequency attenuator that lets you choose full horn output, reduced output or off. Keep the top end present for pick attack and slap, or dial it back when you want a rounder sound.

Pair it with the right amplifier

This is a passive bass speaker cabinet. It does not contain an amplifier, onboard EQ, compressor, DI output, headphone output or aux input. Connect a separate bass head using a proper speaker cable, and check that the head's output and minimum speaker load are compatible with this cabinet's 250 watt RMS rating and 8 ohm impedance. Adding another cabinet changes the load your head sees.
