Perry Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Is there really any difference between the two? I'm tempted with a 4x10 markbass cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Front port goes lower, because it's larger. The rear port has them on the back because there's no room for them on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I prefer the ports on the front. Then I don't have to worry about leaving a space at the back of the cab for the port to work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I prefer rear ports myself...not a fan of shelved ports so tuck them away at the back is fine by me if it keeps the dims down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Tried both the rear ported, and front ported markbass cabs, and to my ears, the front ported cabs sound better. For me, this goes for most other makes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm just not that bothered these days, decent amp, cab (s) and a reasonable five string bass and I'm ready to gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
