Markbass Combos

[Solipsistik]

Just going to say that a 58R 1000W head and a 58R 104 Pure together weigh about 40lbs, and will do for almost any venue. Combos are great and all, but that is an absolutely killer setup with pretty much no downsides except a bit of expense.

Since you mentioned a Marcus Miller version, I'd be weary that the EQ might be voiced pretty different. I briefly owned one of those 210 Marcus Miller combos, because the form factor seemed so hard to beat. The way the EQ is voiced when flat is pretty odd and dark, and the challenge was using the built in controls to try to make up for it. In the end I couldn't get a sound I was happy with.

I'd stick with their regular lineup, unless you've tried a MM version before and liked it.

That's been my experience, too. I did a comparison a long time ago:

Thread 'Little Marcus vs LMK'

I did a side by side comparison of my old Markbass LMK (that is Little Mark II with two pre-channels, build in italy, 500 W/4Ohm analog power) and the new Markbass Little Marcus 500. So what’s the difference? I compared the sounds using my ESP ltd b205, LaBella RX strings, 2x Faital 12pr300 and my ears. No recording, sorry folks.

Markbass LMK tone EQ flat: clear, snappy, mid-punchy with growly flavour
Markbass Little Marcus tone EQ flat: warm, low mid-heavy, restrained high mids, subtle highs

The pics show how you can roughly achieve the Little Marcus sound on LMK and...
