Hey fellow bassists, I hope you will be able and willing to give me some advice on cabs. I have read quite a few posts on this subject, but could not find my answer... First let me tell you that I have not really an opportunity to play and listen in shops... I have a lovely 2013 American Standard Pbass with the Customshop pickups. Recently I bought a Markbass LMIII to replace my old Peavey Firebass. My cabinet is an old Peavey 15" BW, front ported. I didn't like the sound with the Firebass, it was harsh and boomy. But with the new head, the sound is still harsh and boomy. Besides that, it is a big cab, and heavy ;-) Currently I am looking for a more portable and warmer sounding cabinet. I have been reading about and YouTube-listening to some cabs: Markbass 102p traveller Markbass 102hf Hartke Hydrive 210 Tc electronic rs210 These are within the pricerange I am looking. Besides that, they are not heavy. I want to use one single cabinet, since our band, a soul coverband, does not play really loud gigs, and we have a small PA. Which cabinet will give me warmth and clarity without harshness and boomy-ness? Thanks in advance for your help!
I had both of these, either will work depending on your budget. The traveler is obviously more portable as its smaller and lighter. Both will be on the warmer side. Markbass 102p traveller Markbass 102hf
