So the Mark bass is as below IMPEDANCE 8 ohms SPEAKER SIZE 1x15 in. TWEETER piezo BASS PORT rear POWER HANDLING 400W RMS (AES Standard) CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 3.5 kHz FREQUENCY RESPONSE 40 Hz to 18 kHz SENSITIVITY 100 dB SPL WEIGHT 44.75 lbs / 20.3 kg HEIGHT 18.3 in. / 46.4 cm WIDTH 23.39 in. / 59.4 cm DEPTH 17.05 in. / 43.3 cm The Ampeg is rated at 500W. What do I need to get in terms of specs for a suitable pairing? Another 8ohm, but what power handling?

Haha hush Jim. I just want to hear other people's opinions :op

Hi All I'm geting a Markbass Traveller 1x15 and being a dumb guitarist clueless with bass I have been told I am being naive thinking for bigger shows I can pair it with Markbass 4x10 (even though on the markbass site it says its been redesigned so it stacks with the standard cabs). Is there anything other than another matching cab I can pair it up with? Perhaps a 2x10 102P? What's best? Hope you can help ps, it's being fed by an ampeg SVT III Pro

ok so the cab is rated at 400W RMS and the ampeg is a 450Watt head. How concerned do I need to be about blowing the speakers? Whats the best preventative measure? Less gain? Less master?

No idea what you're talking about :-D But thanks!

It does seem the Mark cab is 3kg lighter (15 against 18) and smaller too. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of quality in tone in order to get a lightweight small and affordable cab like the Mark (2nd hand is about half the price of the second hand AE210 on bassdirect). At the end of the day I'll be comnig from my sansamp bass driver in to the PA so it's only for stage volume anyway. I see you can get a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm option. Excuse my dumbness here but which would I get for the SVT III pro? Does it depend on if I want to hook it up to another cab later on?

[quote name='HADGE' timestamp='1325194704' post='1480907'] [i]Hi Nick iv tried most cabs iv got ashdown peavey markbass custom sound ampeg and a workshop full of amps and cabs and must say i love the markbass 2x10 really light great bottom end and clear as a bell top end.I got the same problem as you and now use a little nissan micra for transport because i get 50+ a gallon and the markbass fits in great .go and try one and you always get a good price when you sell them on.Good luck with the cab.[/i] [/quote] Cheers mate. I can get a Mark 2x10 for 340, a 1x15 for £325, or both for £600. Is that a good deal you think?

Cheers for that man, the main reason I was thinking Mark was they seem to be mega light (so un rock and roll of me, 10 years ago i wanted the biggest thing available!)

Thanks guys. The 212 looks a little big as well hence why I like the look of the Mark traveller 2 x 10... [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=37"]http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=37[/url] Excuse my cluelessness with impedence ratings etc, would this be ok running with the Ampeg? I could pair it with the 1 x 15 at some point perhaps

Hi Guys After a decade on guitar I'm now moving to bass. My rig will be a Pbass in to a sansamp / ampeg SVT III pro. I'll be getting a larger cab to do tours with but I really need one to rehearse with and do the london shows in the smaller clubs. The Sansamp should hopefully look after the sound going through the PA but I still need a cab on stage for the Ampeg to go through. The thing is I have a beetle cabriolet which is the missus's and she is not best pleased about me loading dirty great cabs in there. I imagine I have room for a 2x10 or a 1 x 15 perhaps. Can anyone recommend which would be best for me and perhaps the best models... I don;t want to spend a fortune but I was thinking perhaps a Mark 2 x 10 traveller but I am so clueless with pairing bass heads to cabs I don;t know if this is any good. Please help!
