Markbass LM800 + what?! 4X10

Sign in to disble this ad
Our church is going for a whole new setup: pianos, drums, guitar rig and of course a new bassrig

My amp choice has become a markbass Little Mark 800

But now I am searching for a good 4x10, which I can really feel that bass!! Especially the B string. I meanly scoop my sound so what would be my best choice? what do these brands sound like? because I believe that most of the sound is created by the bass cabinet instead of the amp head it self. This are my choices so far:
Epifani
Accugroove
Glockenklang
Vanderkley
Bergantino

Thanks already!!

I guess I ignored your "scoop" sound. The 104HF is a more traditional sounding cab, very full and also plenty of lows and low mids. I have one and I like it.

The Markbass does it all cab, IMHO, is the Bergantino HS410. Tight, same volume of each note, focused, punchy, and is never afraid to add more bass.

My ''sweet'' super amazing cab is the Accugroove tri115. Warm as hell, deep focused lows, no harshness at all. But to me, (and that's the only reason I don't own one), not the best for hard rock & metal (witch I ocasionally play). But it sure is amazing for rock & roll, R&B, etc....

Who else uses a Lm 800? and in what configuration..

My experience so far:
- GLockenklang: very natural, what you hear is your true sound without any color at all, this can be positive (if you have a nice bass) or negative.
- Epifani and Accugroove: both behold your natural sound but display it warmer, maybe a bit darker than the glock.
- Bergantino: brighter, more punch..
- Vanderkley: ?
