Fellow Markbass Users: I need some advice

Sign in to disble this ad
So currently I am running an SA450 into a Traveler 102P and Traveler 151P. However, I'm considering upgrading my rig for the moment and keeping the SA450 as a spare.

I'm considering going with a MoMark 600 frame with the T1M, EQ42S, and MVVL modules into two Club 102 cabinets. However, I'm only about 95% sold on this combination.

Specifically, I like my amp to have a little give to it when I dig in and I'm afraid of sacrificing that. The last time I played through an F1 I loved the overall tone, but felt like it lacked a certain dynamic character when I dug in. However, I would like to have a little more headroom and a little more punch and brightness especially since the Club cabs have the horns instead of the piezo tweeters that I'm accustomed to on the Travelers.

Do you think the T1M module would be enough to add some give and a little thickness back in?

My old rig was actually an Alembic F1-X, Crest CA-9, and a Bergantino HT210S. I had the SA450 at the same time and really didn't like it through the Bergantino as much as the Alembic/Crest setup. I honestly really like the Markbass cabinets. Live they are really tough to beat.

At any rate, I was hoping to hear comments from people who have experience with the T1M preamp module.

Cool...I have the ht210s also, but only use it with an HT115 live.
But my usual live rig is with a Epifani series 2 UL410....really sounds great.
I too prefer the sound of my Alembic F2b into my SWR Stereo 800....but am lazy and prefer to take a lighter amp.....SA450....which also sounds great

Anyway, I'll back off and let you get the comments you are waiting for.
Good luck with your decision.
