Raggy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Popped up to Bassdirect again today (could quite easily spend all day there). Here's my new amp, a Markbass SD1200. Sounds bloody massive at home with my NV, cant wait to gig it [attachment=51827:SD1200.jpg] [attachment=51828:SD_Berg.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtcat Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That's a beautiful rig. I love 4x12's and I reckon we'll hear you playing at your next gig from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'd love to know how the SD1200 compares to the LM2/3. Does it match up tone wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prefers the LMII (F1 is his favourite), maintaining that the SD800 was a bit too wide (low extended). The SD1200 is closer to an SD800 than an LMII (SD means a digital power section, the LMII has a switch mode power supply but old school power section), just more grunt I'm lead to believe. Of course that wasnt into an NV series sealed cab, which I could see it working brilliantly with... Edited June 11, 2010 by 51m0n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was led to believe though was that MB revoiced the SD1200 and its a lot more similar to the smaller Markbass amps now, (eg a little closer to the F1/F500 despite the larger power). I dont thing KJung has had a chance to fully go through a test, but other reviewers have somewhere. All I can imagine is that 1200W into an NV412 must be absolutely HUGE. If I was to have the ability to use BIG cabs, it would be the NV412 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMT3781 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I have owned the same rig.. just at different points in my bass journey lol. I use my SD1200 with 2x markbass 4x10´s, and its massive, haven´t turned it up past 3 lol. Wish i´d had the chance to use it with the berg NV412, think it woulda torn apart the ampeg 8x10´s my rig normally gets pitted against at gigs. Anyone else have an SD1200? me and raggy were discussing the very very low serial numbers we both have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to try one of these amps.....cannot believe the weight/wattage ratio. Plus, personally I love Markbass gear anyway.
