lownote Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Does Markbass have top end and common or garden categories of cab, like Ashdown? I wasn't aware but was reviewing comments on 151s when I saw a reference to two types. Be this so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yes. The Traveller ones are the cheaper ones. The Standard are the better ones. And then there's some unique things like the "Classic" and "New York" stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Also the better ones are made in Italy and the lower cost “ Black line “ I believe are Indonesian built The 151HR as example is one of the higher spec. Italian built cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'd have a listen first. I have the Italian traveller 2x10 (2 off) and they're the best cabs I've ever used, and I've used. Theyve replaced my ashdown abm cabs, and my barefaced cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightweight, yet big sounding, clear gear. I started with markbass, went on a 10 year round the houses journey, and ended up back with them. Pretty much with the same kit as I started with. Only thing I'd say is my sansamp really brought the cabs to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian built cabs This is almost correct. Markbass cabs haven't been made in Italy for many years. All its cabs are now made in Indonesia. The Traveller, Standard and New York ranges are all built with the same quality of materials and components. The Travellers and NY are slightly lower cost than Standards because they are physically smaller and lighter weight and therefore use less materials. The Blackline amps and cabs are Markbass lower cost range. Edited April 7, 2022 by Sparky Mark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
