Hi folks, I've just got off here a couple of Markbass cabs (TRV 151 P and a TRV 121 H) both 8 ohm cabs rated at 400W. I've also got a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 12 T and am currently using the head of that to run them. As it seems that there are still a few Genz Benz bargains about at the moment would it be a no no to get a Shuttle 9.2 or Streamliner 900 and run it through these two cabs? If I used the pair I'd have 800w cab rating but the head would push out around 900w at full tilt (not that I'd be going that loud anyway). Also using a single cab I'd have an extra 100w too much going through the 400w cab. I've also read you can use any head with any cab, just use your ears, also even a lower powered head can damaged a higher rated cab with the wrong EQing, and that a cab will mechanically fail (at the cone?) before the voice coils will overheat etc What should I listen out for to avoid damage etc etc . The world of amps and cabs have floated on by until recently as I've been too preoccupied with that 'perfect' bass search until recently !! Any suggestions please?

Hey guys, I've been informed that the two speakon inputs that are on each of my cabs are wired in parallel. In usage what does this mean please? E.g. If I daisy chain from one cab to the other what will the overall ohms rating be, 16 ohms? I run a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 head at the moment. Cheers, any info would be great

mmmmm, to had into the mix is it a b5 or a #4 lol!

Hey folks, Just went to see and bought a Markbass cab from Fatos. Nice guy, easy deal and sold for a good price. Would not hesitate to deal with again, Peace.

Just sold James my Genz cab, another easy deal with a quick turnaround, deal with confidence guys and gals!

Hey victor, really liking your stuff, hope you find someone suitable for the b lines !

Cheers for that

mmm, it could be the connections in the jack are loose/worn. I've got two wicks and one of them does this, a crackle/pop type sound when I wiggle the jack lead a certain way. Saying all that the other one was doing this, changed the battery and it stopped I think, always try that one hey

PM'd

Well done, if you ever want to move it on ask us hey!! Enjoy

It is nice, you can see it here ([url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/jbassgallery.html"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/jbassgallery.html[/url]) on Jon's site. Might be tempted but the price will probably sky rocket in the last few moments

Yeah, I'm tempted by one as well. Find it hard to justify though as my shuttle 6.0 is great, just not that warm, or not as warm as I want it to be.

Just bought a gigged but not abused MarkBass cab from Jim. No hassle what so ever, a cuppa and chat to boot. Would deal with again no problems at all, Peace.

Yup, they are marked as 'discontinued' on GAK and no mention of them on BassDirect. Could we now class the NX2-212 as a rare collectors item now !!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1384781613' post='2280590'] So maybe that is the solution.... keep the cab and buy a P bass!! [/quote] Ace!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1384684170' post='2279354'] Why can I never just be happy with what I have?? [/quote] Yeah, tell me about it, hence the 'lots and lots of basses' in my above post. So far I haven't had GAS for the amp side of things, well not yet anyhow !

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1384647312' post='2279220'] Just the standard padding, no board. [/quote] [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1384652429' post='2279243'] Same here,just standard padding. I like it but i am going to get it altered as it is toi long. [/quote] Cheers guys for that. I've already got a Hot Covers one for my Shuttle Combo and the price is pretty similar to the Roqsolid. I'll have to get some sort of cover if I keep the new one but at £50 ish I'll have to be sure first! [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1384680713' post='2279317'] Likewise. Played through it at last night's gig and really struggled to hear myself. Just couldn't seem to find a tone that was pleasing and audible. Never had that problem with my BF Vintage or Compact. The GB cab is also a heck of a lot heavier and much more awkward to move about. Shame, because I really like the look of it. It is a very solid looking and feeling cab, and a model that I had wanted to try for a long time. Now we have the awkward question of what it is worth if I decide to sell it!!? Is it fair to charge what the cabs are worth when everyone knows what you paid for them? Does the BC karma machine demand that you charge £379 so that the community can benefit from the GAK super-prices? Bit of a dilemma that one... [/quote] Yup, interesting one this Re the sound. I took it to a rehearsal and played it for the first time, the bottom end was very good, it's just the mids kind of died, quite surprising. I guess I need time to EQ it all as I can't presume the same amp settings for my old cab will work with this one. On the other dilemma Re the selling price, my take on this is I'll always try and pass on any deal I get if I sell it on BC, wherever I have bought the thing I'm selling. So my cab will be priced around whatever I bought it for (either the same or a bit less) as I would have used it a bit etc. However if I wanted to try and get a 'fair market price' ie more for it, I'd sell it via other means and not through BC. I have bought and sold lots and lots of basses on BC, one of the reasons is that people have passed on bargains to me, so I like to try and do the same. Saying all that, it is entirely up to you and as mentioned on various posts previously, the market will decide in the end if the price is correct!!

Did either of you get the 4mm padding or the board slots on your covers, or any of the other options?

Lol, tell me about it. It's just so much easier to browse on here than actually play! Anyhow Welcome.

Lol, James, hope you're doing well. You can certainly have first refusal if/when I do move it on!! If you want to come and have a play through it feel free until I make my mind up!!
