Mesa/Boogie Subway 115, alternatives in EU?

[Overdrive777]

Hello everyone!
I’ve been playing Mesa/Boogie amps and cabs for the last 10 years and I LOVE THEM!!
I own a Walkabout combo, D800 and PH210 and PH115. Loving the sound!

For convenience, I would like to buy a more lightweight cab, both for standalone and to complement my Walkabout. My first choice would be the Subway 115.
BUT.
I live in Sweden, and haven’t seen a Subway cabinet for sale in the whole EU for several years…

So I’m looking for recommendations for an alternative to the Subway 115, that is available in the EU. Any suggestions?
I’m looking at maybe a MarkBass 115 (the new lightweight with a ceramic speaker)? Good or bad? Other cab?

I have been using this combination of Markbass gear and I’m very happy with the results. 58R head and 58R Pure cabinet.
I also have a MESA WD800 and a MESA Subway 4x10 cabinet and they sound great.

Great sounding and so easy to move. It’s my first Markbass experience and I have not been disappointed.

My understanding is that they will be available again later this summer.

Ah!!! Finally!!

You might want to get yourself on the waiting list, the European dealers tend to order what they have sales for and not stock much else (unless it's cheap high volume product).

I really enjoyed my 1x15's, but this is a mis-match made in heaven. Original Walkabout is my favorite amp head of all time, have had half a dozen over the last 20 years. The cabinet (DG 212) is higher sensitivity and greater frequency range than the 1x15, and I only need the one DG cab to get more out of the amp than 2 Boogie 1x15's are designed to.

I'd wait. MarkBass is not even in the same league.

In my case, the main reason I ruled Mark Bass out was basically the cabs being almost all (if not all) rear-ported.

My office is small and I can't place the cabs away from the wall, so I preferred something front-ported, so I bit the bullet and went for Mesa Subway cabs.

More like a lifetime supply of great tasting cake vs a bullet.

Its worth the wait.

And it is almost summer (it feels like it already where I am)! The Mesa Subway 115 has to be experienced in person. Words fail to describe its sonic perfection.

Seems like it will come to the EU late August/early September.. Really excited!!
