Cool, I have a Traveler 102p. It is the way to go if portability on public transport is the key - although for a long walk I would get one of those lightweight sack truck trolley things. I use mine with a LMII head, and it is fine. It will not go as deep as my other cab (the standard 102HF, the one with the front ports), but that is a lot bigger and heavier. The trav alone is fine for most applications,, but will not emit the deep deep sub style rumble - it is just too small. However, as a compromise it is really really good. I got mine from Mike at the Bass Merchant, and he prefers the Aguilar 112 cabs, but they are heavier, and alledgedly a bit mid scooped.... The trav is very punchy, and you sometimes need to tame the midrange a bit, but a pull back on the low mid EQ on the LMII sorts things out nicely. It WILL fart a bit if you hammer the cab, but you will be playing very loud when this happens. It is all about compromise IMHO, and the cab does it for me. I am always PA supported, so it acts as my onstage monitor, but it WILL project over larger club style rooms etc. As an aside, it sounds immense when paired with my other larger 2*10. I am actually thinking about getting the 121H combo for ultimate ease of setup - anyone got any comparisions between the 12" and 2*10 configs? Cheers Chris

i would get the markstand. mine really helps on tight stages. and it has a rubber underside so would keep the unit in one place i would think

excellent work. i am considering replacing my mb separates with one of these. how much did you pay in the end?

actually, just pulled the trigger on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230164752409&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013"]this one[/url] I have obviously paid more than the above deals, but hey, seems like a fair buy to me. yay :-)

Anyone got one of these for sale?

I started at age 12 with classical guitar and claasical percussion lessons at school. Did all teh grades up to 8 in both. But obviously electric guitar and the drums were alot cooler, so I played both for years. I suppose my 1st proper semi pro jobs were all as a drummer, and then guitarist in a function band for a few years. Stil play guitar in a Latin guitar duo. Had a bass around for years, but about 4 years ago finally did it properly. It is a combination of all my expreience as guitarist and drummer, and is the one I prefer by far. With regard to the question of the transition between the two, teh hardest thing I found wasbeing disciplined and not too busy. The bassist needs to be solid and tidy, and cannot generally get away with widdling around, as we all know. That, and the other thing was to have the right good gear. I had/have decent guitar gear, but thebass is harder to get to sound "right" in all venues, as low frequencies are more unpredictable. At least with good industry standard gear, you know you have the tools to do the best job possible. which is why my SR5 is always with me. C

I am going to say that a singel 2*10 should be enough if your goal is to keep stage volume down. My MB Standard 210 HF is plenty enough for me, as it is all PA supported. Try the single route first.

my SR5 is a bit quiter than my old SR4. But not by much, and it punches like a mule (or should that be kicks). These SR5's are awesome "band context" basses. They will rumble wiht a bit of bass added, or funk it up with the selector in brodge position and everything flat. I find that if the room is boomy, you can really tighten the bottom end up with the EQ, and still cut through in a way that precious few basses do. Yes, I am a fan. Min ewill be with me always. :-)
