Markbass 2/10 Bass Cabinet
(Cost me – £379 from GAK)
​
Small, light, powerful, and not too expensive.
I can pick this bass cabinet up with my little finger and it still sounds awesome! No more back breaking load ins for me.
So… I ran my Markbass Little Tube 800 through an Ashdown 410 (which you can see further down this page) for a couple of years and thought it sounded good. The main problem with it however, was that it weighed too much and was awkward for one person to carry. After considering a few variations of cabinets and nearly buying one of the new TC electronics cab I opted for the Markbass 102 Traveller. My decision was based mostly on it’s verified compatibility with my amp head alongside hoards of great reviews for it. I would quite like a little more bottom end and volume so I’m considering either a second 102 or a 121 but it really isn’t needed for most gigs I have done recently. Usually the amp/cab is enough to monitor myself on stage fine and add a little beef to the FOH sound if needed. Then if I am playing a larger venue or out at a festival, most of the FOH sound is carried by the PA anyway so I don’t need a huge amp.

This is perfect for what I need and it looks awesome either up on end (as pictured) or on its side. You actually get a little more rumble and a little less clarity when it is flat on its side.
