mark bass 2 x 10 or 1 x 12 ?? to go with MB112

Hi peoples,

I play for fun and every now and then get out for a gig or a jam etc I am 55 and have been playing pretty steady for a few years now...I use to always play using fingers but in recent years am a convert to pick.....

So my questions are in context of a small rig set up, home use out and about at small venues or rehearsal spaces etc....

I ventured to buy a Markbass traveller 112 a few years ago and I am very happy with it.

I some times pair it up with an old marshall cab that was upgraded with an 15 " ev 400 w speaker

The two together provides plenty of oomph. Most people who have heard the rig reckon it sounds pretty good.

The two cabs are obviously a mismatch from an appearance point of view but for straight ahead rock in dumpy pubs it does the job.

I am running a 600w momark head.

All of that part I am ok with.

But I have been contemplating a second mark bass cabinet
for ages and I am interested to match the traveller cab with another traveller cab.

My dilemna is I cant see the point of getting another 15 when the 15 I have does a good job

So I think the 15 mb is out.....

I am stuck in deciding between a 2 x 10 or another 1 x 12

I have read quite a few posts within in TB as the general opinion seems to be match like with like.

From that perspective I should go with another 1 x 12.

But the 2 x 10 is interesting in the sense of portability and another tone option either on its own or matched with the 1 x 12

I play a fender jazz and I figure I would use the two cabs as a funky type rig. The momark provides a good tone range and I get plenty of grunt and grind if I want an alternative to smooth and round...so to speak....

I also appreciate the output from the head will be 600w into 2 8 ohm cabs and one of the cabs is 1 spoeaker with 400 w and the 2 x 10 is 2 speakers at 200w each (mb advertises the cab at 400w output etc)

My questions are:
In terms of going for a funky tone: will the 2 x 10 be better with a 1 x 12 or
it doesnt matter??

In terms of working in small settings will a 2 x 12 have a better spread than say a 2 x 10 and a 1 x 12
In terms of say what a drummer will hear if I have to rely on no fold back etc....

Hoping the questions are not to confusing but any relevant advice from anyone or information from someone who uses a 2x10 mb traveller will be appreciated

PS I am happy with rear ported cabs and I am not looking to open up debate on other choices etc...

It is just about building up a little MB traveller rig.....

 

I do like the sound of the current cab but I am thinking about the blend and tone range if i go the 2 x 10

Happy with the brand choice etc but stuck on the final choice ..

So I figured I would put it out on TB before I take the plunge

I am tending to the 2 x 10 I think ..

I sort of figure it will be a bit different and the 112 will provide the depth.

 

Yep and thanks.

Good
Point
