I have a Markbass 104HR that says it was designed in Italy, assembled in Malaysia. Just bought a Markbass 102HR and on the back it says made in Italy. Where is Markbass making their equipment? I also have a Markbass SD1200 that says made in Italy.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

Okay.... Again. I have a Markbass SD1200 head, 102P cabinet. On the back it says made in Italy.
I also have a Markbass 104HR cab (not the Blackline series). On the back it says Designed in Italy and assembled in Malaysia.
Is Markbass making their equipment in Malaysia now?

It sounds like your cabinet was assembled in Malaysia... so apparently yes.

If it says Made in Italy on the back, you're good. lol

Seriously, I'm pretty sure most amp manufacturers who have their equipment made in China these days, keep a close eye on it. It wouldn't be worth it or profitable to them if their Q.C. went from great to crappy! Sure their have been some hiccups or growing pains if you will along the way, but for the most part, its been a pretty decent transition over all if you ask me.
