bigthumb Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Just bought one of these combos second hand and its fitted with an Eminence Gamma speaker. I thought Markbass cabs/combos were all fitted with Neo drivers or and I mistaken? I just wanted to be 100% sure about this before I call the shop tomorrow.

nilebodgers Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Shouldn't the speaker have a very offensive yellow cone? (I quite like the look really!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I’d have thought so, although I have had Markbass gear with black speakers in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Also, what would be a suitable (best possible) Neo replacement for it? I'm assuming it would be 300w 8 Ohm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it should be a neo driver, mine certainly was. Sounds like it could have been swapped. Don't MB normally use Faital, Sica or B&C speakers? Well one of the Italian companies.

bigthumb Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'll be giving the shop a ring in the morning then. I'll hope for a partial refund and get a good Neo driver to replace it as the whole reason for getting this was down to weight. I'm not too bothered about having a yellow speaker in it anyhow!

mybass Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Yes’m, it should normally be a ‘yellow orangy’ speaker colour....it’s a shame but is there any chance of trying it against a correctly loaded MB combo.....you may prefer the sound of what you’ve got!

It sounds fine at low volume, can't really pump it up at home. Admittedly I only plugged it in to check it worked ok. I have nothing to compare it to but it's more about the weight. As soon as I picked it up I thought that it was heavier than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It should weigh 16 kg according to www.markbass.it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George West Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Does anyone know why Markbass have decided to discontinue the CMD 121H combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Maybe to rationalise their speaker cabinet sizes as you can now get the 2X10 in a smaller cab, the same size as the 12" cab? Notice they've also gone to ceramic speakers with the weight saving now in the cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
