Trace Elliot ELF paired with a hifi speaker Vonyx SL8 as a bass cab

 


I bought this Vonyx SL8 passive 8 inch speaker on eBay because it was offered to me really cheap. I plan to use this as bass cab for my bandmate and if it doesnt work, I'll try it as my guitar speaker cab or a stage monitor.

So on our rehearsal I brought it and tried his Trace Elliot ELF mini bass amp head and I was really surprised. It sounded nice and crispy. Works well as his bass monitor during rehearsals and for small venue gig. The Trace Elliot ELF has got an XLR output which we use to connect to the PA system. So yeah his bass still goes to the FOH (Front Of House). 

I also tried this Vonyx SL8 as my guitar cab. It worked but not as good as a bass amp. Especially when I step on my effects pedal for distortion. Also it's probably got to do with my Vox MV50AC mini amp head. Perhaps if I use a hifi amp, it might work as an FRFR speaker. I haven't tried it yet because I lend my speaker to my bandmate.

So if you're looking for a cheap bass cab for home use or rehearsals or small venue gig as a monitor speaker, I think this is the answer.
