Extension cab for my EA wizzy 12

[lowlandtrees]

I am thinking about getting an extension for my EA doubler/EA wizzy M line for bigger venues and general head room. Was thinking along the lines of a 102 Mark bass cab but not sure if this would work. Should I stay with another EA cab. The PA my current band uses is poor quality otherwise I would go through that. Been using an old 410 rock cab (can’t remember the make). I like the extra oomph but it tends to take away from the quality sound of the EA cab and is damned heavy.

If you like the Wizzy 12 then what's the attraction of adding a Markbass? 

[lowlandtrees]

Well I fancy a 210 and don’t think that EA do that. I actually would like a 410 but way to big and heavy. EA also a bit on the expensive side and I have seen a few Markbass cabs at reasonable prices.

Depends how much additional headroom you need. I used to find that a Wizzy 10 was enough, it lifted the mids and somehow managed to put some extra bottom into the 12.

Yeah. I thought about that. Wondered if it would enough for biggish pubs and loud drummers...not that intend to go back to heavy rock but you never know. Have heard one of my DBs through Markbass gear and was impressed.

Sometimes I used to go out with just the Ten and it filled quite large rooms. I’ve still got it and use it when we have to set up on a carpet. The mids really cut through where a 12 would just sound mushy.

If you want a 210 to match a Wizzy, a Fearful 210 might be a better choice than a Markbass.

Not cheap though, at £1000.

For just over half that, you could have a Crazy 88 instead ... but that ain't no 210 of course.

I meant ‘fraid....Mike A is no fraud...love to have a fearful 210 but 2 dear.
