I looked in here and couldn't find any posts. So, If I'm being redundant, I apologize.
I want to buy a Markbass 410 cabinet to go with my Markbass SD1200 head. Right now, I've been using an Eden 410xlt and 210xlt. Been using those cabs for over 10 + years and think I'm in need of a change. I've been looking at either the Markbass 104HF or the 104HR.
Does anyone own or have any experience with either two cabs? I play in a jazz/rock trio where the bass must cut through. The Edens do a pretty good job, but are both front ported. From what I've read through some reviews, one person claimed the 104HF to sound woofy. That person also said he's slapper and I play finger style 90% of the time like Jeff Berlin, Jaco, Dave LaRue, Gary Willis. For smaller gigs, I bring the 410 out only. I'm deciding on either 2 104HRs or 1 104HF and 1 102HF. You opinion will be much appreciated.

I have used both and use the 104HR.
They are very different. The HR has a tight , more focused sound which works for me and makes our FOH mixer happy as there is less bottom end on stage.
On the other hand , if you don't have sound reinforcement, the HF could be the ticket.

I prefer front port as rear port you need position the cab just right. Though - if done correctly - the rear p[orted can really thunder.

Anotehr solution - an old Sunn 215B cab with modern speakers.
