Fender Rumble 500/Markbass 102

[GS64]

Hi. Am thinking of combining a Fender Rumble 500 head with a Markbass 102 cab, eventually adding another cab too. Any thoughts on this setup?
Cheers😀

Markbass cabs are nice, sound good with a Precision - imo of course - but they do have a high-end roll-off. So if you`re intending on DI-ing to FOH, what you hear on-stage will be a lot less trebly than what goes through the PA. So vice-versa, you on-stage get a good meaty sound, audience get rubber bands. I found this, and it`s one of the reasons I gave up my Markbass set-up. That said, if not going FOH then I see no issues,.

So any suggestions on fairly lightweight cabs around same price as Markbass?

Why not match the rumble head with some rumble cabs? I have 2 of the 112 cabs and am very happy with sound although I put a hartke LH500 through them.
Nice and light too

The combo sounds great with 2x10 plus horn and weighs next to nothing. I'd be tempted to try the Rumble cabs if I had a separate head. There was a new 1x15 cab up for sale recently

Rumble cabs have a switchable horn and there are also indents on the top for the feet of the rumble head to sit in

Cheers for all of the advice :-)
