Markbass Marcus Miller Cabs

Ahoy there.

Quickie here - very much enjoying my Marcus Miller 1000w head.  Much has been said on here about these.

I am using it (carefully - 1000w…) in to a Markbass Standard 102HF cab. Sounds good, but these cabs in my view at least, are very coloured in terms of being quite mid heavy and warm (which is nice) but without much in the way of top end “zing” - the tweeter is more of a mellow thing, rather than an ice pick.  Certainly nice for on stage audibility in terms or the mids, but bears little resemblance to the sound in the PA when DI’d…

 

My question is, has anyone here used one of the MArkbass Marcus Miller cabs? I see they have a different tweeter, and can only assume that they have a lot more high end than the standard range, given the sound that Miller is renowned for.

Anyone?

Maybe I need something more FRFR, of the Barefaced variety ..

Cheers

I too found the regular Markbass cabs to have a high-end roll-off, had similar experiences with DI-ing. Maybe they’ve just designed the Marcus cabs  to have a fuller range.

Maybe this is a question Mojoke could answer?

last night I used a Headrush ffr112 cab, on a guitar gig,…this could work for bass. will check out the forum on this too

While we are at it, has anyone tried the New York 122 cab?  I note that both this and the Miller cabs have the voice coil tweeter, whereas the standard range all have the compression driver..
