Marshall MB Series, Which cab to get?

[Rollo Wood]

Hi All,
I have a Marshall MB4210 Bass Amp, looking for a cabinet to go touring with our prog rock band
I was thinking the MBC 115, would that be good enough or do you know of others that are much better?
Thanks

The 115 when used on its own, I found, is one of those cabs where you feel the sound, but can`t necessarily distinguish exactly what is being played. I had that same setup, and found that the 115 increased depth and "bigness" to the sound. Worked very well for me in both a heavy rock and, and a punk band. There are definitely better 115 cabs about, but if you just want to add depth, it`s a good cab.

Another thing to think of maybe, if you like the sound of the combos 10s, why not try the MB410 cab - then you`ll have six of the same 10 inch speakers sounds. Would be a lot more focused. I`ve had the 410 as well, and it is, for me, a better cab.

I love my 410 cabs- I have two.
Clear punchy and heavy

This could be fortunate timing:

The matching 410, at a £100.

The 115 cab is good, I really noticed a big difference in clarity when I connected mine up. It's dead loud too.

I am one of those who prefers to stick to same size speakers, so would recommend the 4x10 myself. Especially if there's one for £100!

Loads of guys love mixing 10's and 15's though! Only issue with that is you always need to use the full rig or your sound will completely change.

I have the 450 head and run two peavey 2x10" 4 ohm cabs and it,s big and loud.
Peavey cabs are cheap,reliable and a wee bit heavy but last forever.
You need a 4 ohm jobbie to get max power.
Why not try a 4x12" ? like the VBA marshall cabs
