Shockwave Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Hi guys. As much a I would like to push my budget and get some full on Markbass travellers. I am struggling to put the money together. Out of the current linesups of lightweight cabs from GK/TC etc which would replicate the Markbass cab tone better if any? Is there anything else I should be considering? Really looking for something that can bring that modern funk sound. Will also be using it with a VT Bass deluxe for the more rocky trebley grindy gigs. Weight limit is 15KG. Edited November 23, 2014 by Shockwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 15lbs? Is that a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 As someone who has not used Markbass, what is "their tone" like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 When I had my LM2 I used it with 2 Aguilar GS112 cabs. That was a fantastic sounding rig. I only sold the cabs to go to a 410. Isn't there a pair of those cabs in the classifieds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cab solution preferable. I can buy a second when my outlook is better. And yes 15lbs was a typo. I meant KG. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Bass direct have a pre owned Markbass 410 cab in, looks immaculate, at £450 Lloyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 You can get a used MarkBass NY112 for £280. It'll handle smaller gigs and partners the LMIII well. That might see you through with £120 to spare and then you'd just need to find another at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The 102p could easily be had within budget secondhand, in fact, I think they're £400 odd new now. They're great little cabs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Sorta concerned with the cabs bottoming out when doing Modern Gospel funk stuff. I think I might be fighting an uphill battle considering I want lightweight as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 There's a markbass 2x15 in the classifieds within your budget. Not sure what it weighs though. Another option would be to sell your amp & buy my combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I used to have a LMIII and a MB 210T cab and it was the lightest and best sounding combination.... for me! Bottoming out never occurred... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Ahh. I ended up pushing the boat out and got a Markbass 102P and 121H at Wunjos. They mixed well together and the 12 just gave me the low end, where the 15 sounded a bit indistinct and was a bit too heavy. Managed to get the 102P home by itself hand carrying. So its just about OK enough on Public transport. Edited November 23, 2014 by Shockwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
