xgsjx Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I was a MarkBass user, if I start gigging again, they'd be in the top of my list. I'd really be interested in trying a Barefaced cab with a MarkBass head. Quote
Ed_S Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Purely personal preference here, and it's one that appears to put me in a minority, but I don't enjoy playing Markbass heads with Barefaced cabs as much as I do with matching Markbass ones. Obviously I can only base that on what I own (G2 Midget vs NY121 with the tweeter off for smaller gigs, or G2 Super Twelve vs CMD121p + NY121 extension for larger ones) and it could be because I owned Markbass gear before I owned any Barefaced, but a matching amp and cab sounds 'like a Markbass rig' to me, and something of that gets lost when I swap the cab out.

adamg67 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I love the MarkBass Traveler cabs, I've got the 1x15 and the 2x10, but before anyone comments about mixed speakers, I'm using a sansamp + stereo power amp, so they are not really "mixed" - there's an amp per speaker essentially, which to me sounds very good, you get the "wider" tone from the 2 speakers but neither speaker even knows the other one is there. That wouldn't be how you would be running them I think though. The 2x10 will do a small gig on it's own, and they are both just amazing for the weight. I'm sorted for speakers for a long time now. Having just the 2x10 though... well, I'm not sure it would be enough for me. How about 2 x 2x10s if the amp does 4ohm, then you can just use one if it's a small gig, both for bigger gigs. You can carry one in each hand as easily as carrying a 4x10, and they're easier to load and store. Quote
Greg.Bassman Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Not a bad idea at all, definitely worth considering. Cheers adam. Edited July 4, 2015 by Greg.Bassman Quote
NancyJohnson Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 This is an interesting and well timed thread. I borrowed a Mark Bass 2x10 off a mate last night just to see what the fuss was all about. I had a quick noodle last night and it does sound incredibly phat compared to my Hartke Hydrive 410. More side by side nonsense will continue today. Quote
Telebass Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 You want bottom? LMIII with a Barefaced Super 15 will see to that. Despite being a 2x15, it weighs very little. Discontinued, though. .. Quote
