Good Cabinet For that Low B

[dirtymungoo]

i currently own a Markbass little mark 3 and was wondering what is a good cabinet for a not so expensive price that has real good low end. maybe around $400-$500

Good product and price.

I hear the Ampeg 410HLF gets the lows great. Cavrin makes an 18" cab also

How 'bout an Acme Low B series cabinet?

Epifani PS112! I don't care what you play, this will work for it! The ygo for around $300 each so get 2 and you're set.

An Acme would definitely give you the low B. The tradeoff is that you lose some volume because a B2 is not as efficient as other cabs but 500 watts into a four ohm B2 should sound rather nice.

I use and love my Hartke Pro Series 1800 cab. Nothing like an 18 and a five string...

I use both a Carvin BRX10.4 or BRX10.2 neo cabs and they both together or seperately handle the low B excellently.

12 inch speakers seem to handle the low B fairly well which is a vague generalization but 12 loaded cabs seem to really work well in my experience.

I have a nice SVT-410HLF I'd fix you up with if you can get to SF, SD They do have a nice bottom end roar.

u can't go wrong with Accugroove.

You could get a used Acme Low B4 for about your budget and IMO, you'd have plenty of Low B and plenty of Volume, but you'd need to power it with more than that Markbass head you have. I run a Carvin B1500 into it at 1300W and it sound great. The Low B4s come up here in the GFS section from time to time.

I used to run a 4 ohm Aguilar GS212 with my LMII and it completely changed my perception of how a low B should sound.

Two 8 ohm GS212s or a GS412 would be even more impressive. Youcould knock birds out of trees from a hundred paces

Those avatars seem like a good buy.

They really are. I have an 8 Ohm 2X12 paired with a Peavey Tour 700 head.

I don't have experience with the low B, but my band plays in Drop C, (CGCF) and it handles the tuning like nothing.

Used Genz Benz NeoX112T, works great for my needs although a little pricey

Best suggestion in the thread is a used 410HLF if you want the Markbass amp to get you a reasonable low B.

If you're willing to go custom, a 212/6 fEarful model from LDS would be the bee's knees for this application. Louder than an acme 4x10 and lighter too.

HMMM.. When I converted from 15s to 4x10s in 2005, I compared the 410 hlf to SWR GIII, and found the Ampeg to break up at a lower volume than the Goliath, and that was with a four string Jazz. I require a clean and wide range tone so I went with the SWR. That was when SWR used PAS drivers instead of the Ems in the Ampeg. Now the G IV uses Eminence too, so don't know how they'd compare.

I'm with you on the fEarful wagon though!!
