I'm either going for a MB combo tomorrow or I've heard people say to go with a head and cab seperate to have the option of turning the tweeter off. If I go with the Little Mark-III I'd rather keep the rig small, but still able to handle small/medium sized bar gigs. Right now I can only get one cab to go with it. I may add another cab down the road when I re-coop a bit. Don't want to heft a 410 cab around any more, so I was thinking either a NY or Traveler cab in with either a 12 or 15 inch driver.
Do any of you Little Mark-III users use any of these cabs - if so, do you like the power and tone you get out of them. I need to make up my mind by tomorrow. lol

I could also possibly go with a Little Mark Tube, but it says they are out of stock right now. Not a huge deal because I'm still looking to find a part time band to gig with after retiring from gigging the last few years so I don't need it ASAP.
Thanks.

I use a Little Mark 250 Blackline with a 15” Ashdown cab, and they sound immense together.
My old bass tutor used a Little Mark 3 with 2 traveller series 15” cabs and it was the clearest and the most broad ranged tone I’ve heard in a long time.
Personally, I’d go for the head and cab set up, but possibly with the NY cab if you’re looking for something smaller than a full-on rig.
Hopefully this is use fully to you.

The traveller 121H is a great cab and I used to gig with two and my LM3. However, two NY121P takes about the same space in my car as a single 121H and is way more capable. So to answer the exam question; if I had to have a single cab it would be the traveller 121H but I'd soon be looking to add another cone.
