More Markbass...115 or 410

[mynan]

My wife is dragging me to Chicago this weekend for some work related stuff that she has to do. Her parents live there, which is why she wants me to go. I told her that I would only go if I could go to GC and get a Markbass cab to go with my 210 combo.

I like the way that my Ampeg 115 sounds with the 210, so I originally planned on getting the Markbass 115. Now I'm starting to wonder if the 410 would be a better match.

I've run a 610 setup on another amp that I used to have and I like the way that it really seems to cut through the mix, but I'm also a low D addict and like the way that a 15 handles it. Anyway, that's my dilemma.

Being that you already have 2 10's, I'd go with the 15

They ran a 210 and 115 setup at Jack's party. Was a very nice setup and more than handled 2 nights of abuse.

I like the 102P with the 410. Its tighter and louder, if thats what you like.
the 15 is great but I like a little more lower midrange cllarity.
The ultimate would be a 412 if there was one by MB.

1 x 12 ;P

Or a 2X10" traveler cab less weight !

1 x 12 ;P

Ha! I've got "Dave" sending me a 2x10 and a 1x12 right now...



But, back to the thread - I'd go 115 with the 210.

He makes a good point.

The 2-10 and 1-15 Markbass setup I have now really does the job.

WOW.

Since I'm currently stuck in Korea, I've yet to demo or see any of this Mark Bass Gear in the flesh. So all I can say is that 210/115 stack looks so freaking sexah! For the medium/larger gigs I do, that would be such a perfect rig.
I'd take that set up over 4 10s, 6 10s, or maybe even 8 10s!

I love 15s, then they love my open B.

OT: How is the MarkBass Horn?

I like my Eden combo's horn because it's not all bright and hissy 100% of the time, and it's transparent and easily tweeked.

I remember my old SWR rigs had these god awful horns that blarred "HISSSSSSSSS" 100% of the time when turned on. So, I either shut them off and flat out pulled the POS out with a screwdriver.

Any soundbytes or comments on the MB Horn/Tweet?

You can easily tweak the horn. The VLE on the amp essentially rolls out the highs so you can dial out the hiss. The 15 has a volume control for the horn on the side of the cab, so you can cut it out completely if needed.
