Sorted - Light and cheapish cabs to pair with a MarkBass LM3.

[Shockwave]

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.

15lbs? Is that a typo?

As someone who has not used Markbass, what is "their tone" like?

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?

Yes. But I cant afford those. Budget is around 400 Max. One cab solution preferable. I can buy a second when my outlook is better.

And yes 15lbs was a typo. I meant KG. Cheers!

Bass direct have a pre owned Markbass 410 cab in, looks immaculate, at £450

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
