    Markbass Super Synth

    What's scary is actually considered that for a moment, if only I knew you better.

    Markbass Super Synth

    Man, I am wanting one of these so bad. I've contacted three stores in Europe that stock them, but none of them ship to the U.S. Anyone have an idea when they will be available at guitar center, or just anywhere in the U.S.?

    haha, that's cool. we've already had the cops at a few gigs, but more because the promoters didn't check up on sound permits. I'll stick with the 8 ohm cab then. wish me luck.

    So ya think my SD800 running at 450 watts will push that cab enough and be loud enough for most gigs??

    Ahh decisions decisions

    So, I think I'll go with the 104HF. I want to take advantage of my guitar center return policy while it's still available. So my last decision is whether to go with a 4 or 8 ohm cab. If I go with the 8 ohm cab then my SD800 will be putting out 450 watts, but I have the choice of adding...

    I get your point, I just would feel better not having to worry in the future. And yes there are way too many choices!!

    Yep you were right, but I had to try it out. Wanted to save my back by getting two small cabs. The sound is right there though. I just can't push it anymore, not that I need to right now, but I might in the future. So maybe I should just forget the 1x15 right now and get a 4x10. I really...

    Ok, so I went ahead and finally bought some gear. I went with the SD800 and two 121H Traveler cabs. I've played a few practices and one gig. So far so good. At practice I can definitely hear myself now and there's an added low end that we never had before that adds a lot to our sound without...

    That's using the lm tube or lmII correct? So you're saying that head would be putting out 500 watts, 250 to each cab right? Into one cab it would be 300 watts yes? That ampeg I was using was about 425 watt head, I'm not sure what the cab could take, well it can't take anything now.

    That's a good point. I was wondering about that. looks like the traveler 121 takes a max 400 watts at 8 ohms while the LMtube 800 does 500 watts at 8 ohms and 800 watts at 4 ohms. Hmm, not sure that would work then.

    Ahh decisions decisions

    Well I've posted on here asking opinions on markbass products. I'm getting closer to making a decision. I think I'm going to go with the little mark tube 800 paired with two traveler 12 cabs. I'm thinking this will be a versatile rig for every type of gig. I was playing through my singers...

    Newbie needs help with markbass amp choice

    wow, thanks for the quick responses guys. My budget is pretty much 800-1500 for a head and cab(s). I am liking the idea of the 1x12. Two would be super but I think I should start with one. I don't really know much about the markbass cabs except I think they're fugly, haha. But that's just...

    Newbie needs help with markbass amp choice

    Thanks for the reply. I do think more speakers would be nice, but it's more stuff to pack up and haul, but I get what you're saying. Is the lmkIII anything like the lmkII? Looks like they don't make the lmkII anymore. Do you have any opinions on the tube heads, make any noticeable...
