yorks5stringer Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 2x10 combo with 250 watts. No idea on price mind. http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Should be around £695. There's a cool new 1x12" cab as well. The Standard 121HR has a tilt back option so it would be perfect for on-stage monitoring. Has a 'proper' compression driver instead of a piezo too. Est price for these are around £480.

mikel Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Shame, the listed weight of 36 lb would put me off. I like a combo to be easy to transport and lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Weird as it is lower than my 802, although a little wider. It has 2x 10" speakers against my 2x8's and the amp front panel all in the vertical plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I thought the 802 was only 27 LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 36lbs sounds about right. The Traveller 2x10 is 28lbs and the heads are 5-6lbs. The 802 is 28lbs or so. Again, this means that an extra 8lbs for larger drivers and a slightly bigger amp would be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 yep, that fluoro green IS worse than the MarkBass yellow BLACK Marco, musos like BLACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Markbass used to always tempt me in, and to some extent, they still do. Now though, something isn't quite the same. It doesn't really matter whether the bits and pieces are put together in Indonesia, it is the fact they don't use the drivers they used to. Someone on Talkbass took a few photos inside of a fairly new cab, and not only was it heavier that the Italian one, it had a lower grade driver. I'd rather they didn't water it down and just charged a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Funny that, as when they first changed to Indonesian assembly, the Indonesian was lighter than the Italian stuff. Marco at the time said they had changed from B&C drivers to their own design: no-one complained then...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i have the nostalgia of green Trace Elliot head with fluo neon rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've listened to a lot of Indonesian MB amps & cabs and can't tell the difference. I do know that the incidence of repair and warranty claims is way lower since moving away from Italian construction. In terms of weight there were some early cabs that came in a bit heavier, mostly 210's I think, but that was soon sorted and everything went back to previous weights. Personally the improved build quality, and lower warranty issues, would make me choose Indonesian over Italian made MB products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisanthony1211 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm probably being a bit thick, but looking at the spec, how can it be 17 inches tall, have a head and two 10 inch speakers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylie Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Reading the ad copy, I see they call it 250 watts, but reading further into the specs it appears to be 150 watts using the built-in speakers and 250 watts only if you add an extension cab. 150 is probably plenty enough wattage for the built-ins, but it still seems like a drastic cut-down of wattage. Anyone agree? (or am I just off here? wattage is a fractious issue) Edited January 3, 2017 by Wylie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 My 802 runs the same wattage figures: 150 'inhouse' and 250 with extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
