Two Avatar 4x10's & Markbass?

[dylanrlarsen]

Hey.
I'm looking at purchasing TWO Avatar 4x10 Bass Cabs.
Would a "Markbass Little Mark Tube 800 Bass Amp Head" be able to handle both of the cabs together? Also: Would it be able to handle running just one of the cabs without blowing it up?
thanks!

You should probably send Markbass an email through their website and ask them. If they don't have customer service or a contact button on their site for you to ask this question, then I would probably consider going with a different company...

Okay thanks! What would you recommend for an alternative bass amp head? I'd want something small, very powerful, and preferably with switchable tube amp and solid state mode. (if not then i'd prefer solid state over tube.)

Thanks a ton!

I use TC Electronic and couldn't be happier with the amps. They are small, light, and super powerful. And they also deliver my own sound without colouring it at all.

I travel with their RH750 amp all over the world, and use it on any cabinet I'm presented with. I recently did a record using the RH750 driving an Ampeg 8x10 and it sounded incredible.

Yes. Avatar 410s are able to handle 1000 watts eminence / 1200 watts celestion. Together (@ 4 ohms) they would be more than capable of handling the 800 watts that the Markbass would put out.

With one cab (@ 8ohms) you would only be pumping 500/550 watts (can't remember right off hand). A single 410 is more than capable of handling that.
