Very interested in purchasing a Markbass combo soon. I know I want one that has a matching extension cab. I feel like a lightweight, but powerful, modular setup like that could be the last rig I ever need. Versatility is key as I want the combo to be loud and powerful enough that it can keep up in a typical, not extreme volume jam/practice session but also light enough that I could carry it one hand (with a gig bag over the shoulder and my bass in the other hand, I love the idea of being able to carry my entire rig by myself in one trip). I know I want an extension cab for live situations or anytime I need to be extremely loud. I'm pretty set on using a matching cabinet. So, my question is, What do you think would be a better rig:
A) Markbass CMD 102P combo with the STD102HF cab
or
B) Markbass Mini CMD 151P combo with the New York 151 cab
The lighter, smaller mini 15 appeals to me, but I feel like the front ported 10's might sound better and ultimately be more powerful, but I'm not sure about being able to carry the CMD 102P in one hand easily (no top handle, just two side ones). Price isn't an option, if the cheaper rig is better, thats great. Also I play with my fingers and like to play everything from smooth R&B to aggressive slap-funk to gnarly rock riffs.
Any other brand recommendations are welcome too! I've just heard so many good things about Markbass.
