DepTan Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 HI fellow chatters, Im in a dillema which one to get to match my Markbass Little Mark 800 head. The Markbass New York 122 cab or the TC Electronics RS 212 ? I used to own the older CMD102p with LMII head, sounds great,. but sold it. (GASSING for a new toy) there's no stock of the new york 122 at the moment so I have not tried it yet. I was able to try the TC electronics but the set-up at the nearest shop im in is a rebelhead 450 connected to RS2x10 and RS 2x12 and the sound with everything flat sounds a bit stereo sounding but is still ok to my ears. I will be using a Markbass Little Mark 800 head, 5 string SR205th Ibanez bass tuned half step down and plays mostly anything from bob marley to black sabbath to rick astley ( yeah i know,. rick astley? WTF?!?) We play small venues and wedding gigs and i like bringing my own gear. any feedback is very appreciated! many thanks in advance!

Musicman20 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Do you plan on expanding your rig beyond the single 2x12 cabinet? If not, I'd opt for the 4 ohm NY122. If you want two cabs, two RS212s would be thunderous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial][color=#222222][font=Arial]Hi DT, I'd include a Barefaced Super12T on your list. After playing my RH750 through one last weekend I'd recommend it as one of the better 212 cabs that I've heard, certainly better than the Markbass and probably better than the TC. [/font][/color][/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]At the Bash last week there were several players going through Barefaced cabs and they all sounded very good.[/font][/color][/size] Edited September 29, 2011 by chris_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DepTan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 thanks for the quick reply. I was eyeing the baarefaced cabs and reviews seems good. Im only familair of the denmark street shops in London,. are there any other music shops that carries a wide range of amps and cabs in London? Many thanks again!

Grand Wazoo Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Oh you know, when you hear this you'll be kicking yourself, I have the same LM tube head however mine is the 500W and last year I've spent an evening at the MB wareouse (UK Distributors) trying most every Mark Bass cab in the end the best match was the CMD102P combo having swapped the old combo head with the LM tube and the result was this Should you need more headroom, you can hook up another 2 x 10" traveller cab [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=37"]http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=37[/url] to that combo and you'll be shifting some serious air. I've found that 4 x 10" gives the tighter and more defined bottom end than having a larger speaker say a 1 x 15" which didn't seem to work well with that head.

Musicman20 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 GAK are the largest Markbass dealer, according to a recent email I received. That probably means they also can offer the best prices. I'd still like the NY122. I have no idea why they arent more popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algmusic Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1317371833' post='1389910'] I'd still like the NY122. I have no idea why they arent more popular. [/quote] +1 I don't understand this either.. The MB would get my vote.. also as mentioned, check out the might Barefaced super 12.. It's like no other 2x12.. and don't believe the hype about 10's being punchier and 1x15 being boomy.. it's the quality and design of the cab that dictates the sound.. you have to try them out. I have notied that people who by the barefaced super 12, seem to top GAS-ing.. interesting thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
