I asked Markbass for a smaller rig for the current European tour I am currently on with Carl Verheyen and Chad Wackerman. I wanted something for the smaller venues we occasionally play in.
This is the Momark SD 800 with the Club FE32 2 x 12 cab.
This rig just kills! I used it in a larger venue last night instead of the 6x10 and loved it.
This cab (4ohms) has an amazing full bodied sound that is warm yet still has that great definition I love.Volume is not a problem with this rig and I may just use it for all the shows. IMG_0029.jpg

The SD800 kills too!!! I almost went with that head but instead opted for the LMT800. It was honestly too close to call at the time. Very nice rig. The MB heads sound great with the smaller cabs. Amazing how versatile they are.

I noticed your hercules stand has the same problem mine does, with the arms pointing different directions. I have a 2 guitar model, and one side is much worse than the other, but it does the job.

The Quote below is from a retailer in Melb/Australia.

This is an amazing sounding cab. The bottom end is nothing short of sickening unyet it is tight and punchy. If you are after more low end than a 410 cab but still want to maintain the clarity and definition that smaller drivers deliver...you should check out this cab. Rated at 800 watts, 4ohms, handles 40Hz-20kHz and weighs just 27.5 kilo. Its a killer cab. Perfect rock gig set up and does the job with ease as a single stand alone cab.

I know of 4 Upright/Electric who swear by the LMT800 & Club 600 F32.

I have checked out the TTE 500 with the owner of Bass Centre Melbourne/Australia against the LMT800 and an Ampeg Heritage All Valve head and we both were blown away with the TTE 500 Test Cab was a MB Std 104HF-4.

It sounds fatter that the Heritage and louder than the LMT800 with even simpler control than both (Gain, Tube Compressor (the comp' stay very transparent even on full), Bass/Mid/Treble, Colour (very similar the the VLE but less brutal and more musical), Volume and it's a Third of the weight of the Heritage.

We trying Classic SR's, Bongo's, Fender's and Sadowsky's thru them all and I notice you could hear a greater difference from bass to bass with both the MB heads. The Heritage didn't show the detail of each instrument as clearly and tonal differences between CL SR's/Bongo's, Fender J's/Sadowsky's were lost.

TTE 500 is Awesome and I'd have one NOW if I hadn't signed up for a PDN Gilded SR4.
