Markbass Cab Covering

[Pickinator]

The website doesn't specify but are the cabs covered in Tolex or rat hair carpet.

I bought a Carvin Bx600 head and am considering a 1X15 cab along with a 2X10. Can I expect a good sound or problems with mixed cabs.

Thanks

Most are carpet afaik. The CL serious are tolex me thinks.

Also the Randy Jackson cab and the Club cabs are tolex.

The Club series cabs are covered with high quality tolex. I don't mix cabs but a lot of TB'ers on the Markbass Club thread do.

The Markbass cabs with rat fur seem to have shorter fur than some others I've seen. Very durable stuff actually.

I don't mix cabs either, but some like the 210 + 115 configuration. No guarantee that there isn't some phasing out or boosting of frequencies, though.

It's too bad Markbass does the floor monitor kick-back wedge on their cabs. I just want the basic rectangular cab; front ported at a fair price. Markbass seems to miss the mark for me on a number of issues:

(1) high price
(2) floor wedge shape
(3) lack of 4 ohm offerings
(4) rat hair
(5) rear porting

I really wanted to like Markbass:scowl:

-Back to the drawing board.

They have 4 ohm offerings on some of the cabs. Most of their cabs are not wedge shaped.

I have a mark bass combo. Some of their stuff is front ported, some is rear ported, and some is sealed. The price is the price but remember you are getting quality parts, workmanship and design for that price. The kick back design I share your frustration on. Wish they had just made it square, taller and thinner so I could use an amp stand. The rat fur is a pain to keep clean but its more durable than tolex and is useful because Velcro sticks to it and stuff you place on top tends to not vibrate slowly off the edge.

I guess my point is all products have their pros and cons, and each of those have their flip side or at least reason why.

Do they make a 2X10 and a 1X15- each with horn tweeters in the non-wedge shape at 4 ohms each?

The Traveler 102 is a 2x10 cab that comes in either 4 or 8 ohms. I don't think they make a 4 ohm 15. In fact, Carvin is the only one I can think of that makes a 4 ohm 15" cab.
