If it doesn't sell by the weekend of 7th Jan i'll probably withdraw it from sale and trade the cab.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]This is the top end model with adjustable tweeter, 300w Eminence driver, speakon & 1/4" inputs, rear ports and silver grill cloth. The cabinet is made from 13-ply Baltic birch. Also comes with a Roqsolid custom made cover.[/color] [color=#000000]These are immense for double bass or with electric bass for an old school punchy warm sound, they sound big, round and articulate. Whilst it's small and portable it sounds huge and can easily pull off most pub, club gigs with ease. I've even done festival stages with just one of these cabs.[/color] [color=#000000][b]Power Handling:[/b] 300 watts RMS[/color] [color=#000000][b]Frequency Response:[/b] 42 Hz - 16 kHz [b]Sensitivity:[/b] 95 dB 1W 1M [b]Impedance:[/b] 8 ohms [b]Dimensions:[/b] 14" H, 19" W, 19" D [b]Weight:[/b] 42 lbs[/color][/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]It's in great condition but does have a couple of very small gig induced tolex marks otherwise it's in very good shape.

    Haha...started out as an Aguilar thread and ended up talking about Markbass settings!

    Looking at the manual, the VPF boosts lows at 35hz, cuts mids at 380hz and boosts highs at 10k, so with the VPF cranked as i had it, I was boosting a lot of 35hz....not especially useful on an upright!....not to mention cutting the mids where there's a lot of body in the sound.

    OK, so I experimented with the settings on the Markbass Little Mark II last night, put the VLE and VPF knobs back to 12 o'clock -- I had been using the VPF on full and I think I'd been pushing the sub and scooping the mids too much -- with the controls backed off I seemed to have a lot more volume to play with, and with less low sub through the speakers the whole sound was fuller and cleaner (but still plenty deep enough), no breakup on the low notes! In the end those knobs were back towards 10 o'clock and i guess I gained back a lot of low-mids and mids, giving me a heck of a lot more overall volume. My master didn't go above 1! Usually it's at 12 o'clock or slightly higher. What a difference! Anyway, I'm now perfectly happy with the Aguilar cabs....for now.....

    Chris - it's just a passive Underwood bug pickup - the Markbass would handle that easily, I have to turn the input to 3 o'clock to get the clip LED to light but i run it more like 10/11 o'clock so i can't see it's that.
  11. plyguy
    No worries, i'm going to look for a bigger / different cab.
  12. plyguy
    Thanks Lozz, I'm also going to take an old 1x15 500w SWR cab to the gig to absolutely make sure that the distortion isn't coming from the amp. I reckon i'm looking at a bigger cab though, I'll put up with the weight if it sounds good!

    Thanks Chris, I will experiment a little with EQ tonight at a gig. I can't say I've really noticed the breaking up before but I've recently changed pickup and can now get a lot louder without feedback. The rig does put out an amazing amount of bottom end, i run the EQ flat and use the tone shaping knobs to scoop some mids. If I run those flat and the EQ flat the sound is very thin / mid-rangey. The mark bass puts out 500w with both cabs connected, the cabs are rated at 300w each. For smaller gigs, sometimes without a drummer i can get by very well with just one cab so maybe i should just keep one cab and look for a bigger cab (4x10 / 6x10) for these bigger gigs?

    I play upright bass, often fairly loud with rock'n'roll / blues bands through a Little Mark II head and 2 x Aguilar DB112's. It's been a great set-up tonally and volume wise for 95% of my gigs, but recently i've noticed the cabs are occasionally breaking up on big low notes (I think the band is getting louder!!) so I'm considering getting a Schroeder 1212L as it has a rated power handling of 800w and is still small. Does anyone have direct experience of both cabs and how they handle things when pushed? I'm thinking the Schroeder would be a louder cab with more headroom. How about other alternatives in the same price bracket? Incidentally, I'd possibly be up for a trade for the above speakers. The Aguilar I'd trade is in silver and black with tweeter and roqsolid cover.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1365249976' post='2037171'] To help the OP; if he isn't interested in your DB112 then you'd be able to sell a single cab with tweeter on Basschat no problem! I was selling a pair and fielded about 4 offers for a single cab (especially with tweeter), sold mine no problem. [/quote] Thanks mate - I'll do that.
