*** ADVICE NEEDED FOR NEW CAB PLEASE***

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone,

I'm playing an American Standard 'P' with La Bella FS flats through a Littlemark III and a Traveller 151 P rear ported cab.

I'm really struggling to get the sound I want: the full, warm, deep, well-rounded 60's/70's Country Music thing you hear on the likes of Kris Kristofferson/Glen Campbell/Charlie Pride, etc.

The rear-ported 15" Traveller is very punchy and very clear, but not really close to what I want.

My question is 2-fold really.

I've got the chance to buy the now discontinued Markbass Standard Front Ported 151 HF or, alternatively, buy an altogether different make of 15" cab to go with my Littlemark.

Can anybody tell me whether there will be any great difference between the sound of my Traveller and the Standard 151 HF and whether it will be worth the investment?

The 2nd part of my question is really whether I would be better off getting a completely different cab (either 1x15" or 2x15") from someone like Mesa or Ampeg or Aguilar, etc? If so, what would serve me best for this warm, full, rounded, deep Country 'old-school', vintage sound I want?

Thanks everyone.

Almost any good quality 1 or 215 will sound warmer than what you've got now. It's all about how BIG the box is, in the end. Look for a 2x15 in a big box. I do highly recomend the Mesa Deisel 215, though you'll have to find a used one.
