Viajero Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok, here's the situation: I've got a LMKII (300W into 8), and I need a lightweight cab to pair it with as a small rig. Needs to be powerful but portable, a cab I can carry in one hand. I was thinking of an MB Traveller 210, but have recently seen favourable reviews of Aguilar GS112(NT) & DB112. If you had 400-odd pounds to play with, what one cab would you get to cover all kinds of small- to medium-sized gigs? Your help would be much appreciated - your collectivev experience is far greater than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moves a bucketful of bass end for a 2x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adee Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Deffo look at the Markbass 102HF i've got the 4x10" version and it superb, but big the 2x10" will suit most fo your needs in a fairly light weight package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viajero Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Yeah, but is the bigger, ported one a bit bulky? It has to be a reasonable carry with one hand. Edited October 1, 2007 by Viajero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If I was spending £400 on a cab, I'd buy an Aguilar DB112. I've had a couple of GS112s and they were excellent but just a bit too mid shy for my liking. The new DB range are supposed to be a bit better in the mids.

chris_b Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) In my opinion, the only comfortable one hand carry is an Epifani UL112 (30lbs). The Aguilars are very good but heavy (44lbs). They would be an easy two hand carry, but Aguilar only put one handle on them! I quite like Markbass amps but I don't think much of the sound of their cabs. You need to listen to the choices.

warwickhunt Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Tecamp or Tech Soundsystems 2x10 would be my recommendation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to try this model against the taller/older one that I have with twin front ports. I've found these cabs to be much lighter than my old Peavey setup. I shed near 90lbs of "gigging load" from loading, humping and reloading equipment to the car by changing over to Mark Bass. Still got the same speaker setup and amp power too.

Sugden Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The markbass 102HF gets my vote unless you are up for building your own cabs then in which case I'd build a set of BFM Omni 10.5 cabs. Or a tad more dosh and get someone to build them. The markbass cab is the best cab I've tried on the market for weight, price and sound.

Viajero Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks everyone. Think I'm going to try a Markbass one, once I find somewhere near Durham that stocks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
