Twincam Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thinking of getting either one of these. Both fit my purpose, both are portable and i like the reviews of both. Im not a fan of tweeters in bass cabs, and the fact ive seen lots of people complain of the hissing from the 121p combo puts me off slightly. I am leaning towards the players school combo as its cheaper, but the fact its cheaper despite me liking the reviews is making me think i will of somehow bought an inferior product.

Lozz196 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Well I never noticed the hiising on the CMD121P, was a great little amp. But you could tell the tweeter was on, so if you don`t like them, I`d try out the JB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think you can just disconnect the tweeter in the 121p and wire the driver directly, I would do that (or swap it for a better one) as it's probably the ghastly little LeSon one they put in the other "p" cabs so no crossover. Does the 121 have the tweeter control knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nope, but strangely, the NY121 cab does have one. I didn't like the hissing from my 121P so I replaced it with the one that was recommended in another thread on here and there's no hiss now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've got a CMD121 and love it. Also have an NY121 to add to it for a full rig that is never lacking. I know you could add a Blackline cab to the Jeff Berlin but not sure that a 250W rig would cut it all the time. I guess what I am saying is the CMD is "future proof". If it is only for home use or a VERY quiet band the Jeff Berlin would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have the Players School combo - I don't have much to compare it with hands on but with my USA SUB it still sounds proper slap-py, but you can also dial it down to be a really versatile sound (none of that impossible to lose top end sizzle that personally I hate) - then with a P with flats - oh my my - just proper. This video helped me take the plunge but even this doesn't really do it justice http://www.iguitarmag.com/magazine-editions/guitar-interactive-issue-19/reviews/markbass-cmd-151-jeff-berlin-players-combo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
