sishake Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or upgraded tweeter for my Markbass mini cmd 151p? I can't find anything at all online, I will go through the official repair system if I have to, but as its a plug and play part it seems a bit extreme to get it sent away and do all the gubbins that goes along with that…... Any help, advice, people to call would be much appreciated.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twincam Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) People have been upgrading them for better ones, i don't know the details but if you search over on talkbass i think there is more info on that forum about it.

yorks5stringer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The model needed is a Le Son TLX1 but I can't find a UK seller of them. There's a few in the USA which is daft as they are Swiss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishake Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks all, thats really useful… Im a bit hesitant to send it away as I'm sure i can repair it if I can just get the part. I'm gonna give tracking it down a good go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassManGraham Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just wondered if you've tried disconnecting the tweeter? I have a Markbass CMD Mini121P and recently disconnected the piezo tweeter, and I much prefer the tone. You might like to try it and save yourself a lot of hassle?? I also had a Markbass Mini CMD 102P combo and on reflection I wish had done the same with that as the piezo sounded a bit farty. I love Markbass gear, and after years of use I think their piezo tweeters are a bit of a weak point. I also use a Traveller 121H cab with controllable 1 inch compression driver and custom horn which I think is far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If you want to keep a tweeter replace it with a Stage Line HT-30 Minature Horn Tweeter. £12-13 online. This is what most CMD121P owners have done if they want to keep a tweeter. Little bit of filing may be needed but the difference is amazing. Or disconnect it and it becomes a Jeff Berlin Combo.

[/quote] I have, its been disconnected for the last couple of months, it still sounds great but I miss the top end clarity a bit. I also use the 210hf cab with a little mark3 and the horn on that is so much better. I think I'm going to give the upgraded horn thing a shot.
