I think for this pedal if it’s around £300 new hopefully it will be a great choice and one I would jump at I’m more interested in the drive, EQ. Chorus, compressor, blend and having multiple programmable channels would be perfect for a gigging bassist Definitely will get one when they hit the stores

I like the HiMass too except I found it’s extra length not ideal and harder to get very low action due to the base thickness. No such issues with the Gotoh

TE1200 gets my vote Awesome amp excellent dual compressors and tons of head room Not exactly heavy but not a lightweight amp either really EICH T900 is amazing too and that’s very light

Yep my reason to change the BBT style is the crap saddles / screws that seem to be used today The Gotoh and others are far superior build quality and it’s such a simple low cost upgrade why wouldn’t you ?

Just a warning if anyone fits a hi mass bridge then decides to remove it and fit the smaller BBT style you will have indents in the bass body finish Happened to me on two Player Series basses

The biggest difference is cabinet size between the 122 and the 102 The 122 is about a third larger in volume and on its own feels more bassier whereas the 102 is definitely a mid forward sounding cab yet has plenty of low end. I think the freq spec from MarkBass states the cabs to be very close in rating except the 102 is a 400w cab and the 122 is 800w As a pick player the less mids in my sound is preferred and more full low end which the 122 definitely provides on its own. The 102 cab is a great cab fingerstyle but a little too mid focused as a pick player until you run a pair of 102 cabs together ( which I did )

Just tried them together but only at home volume one 122 cab nice tone adding 102 cab volume increases ( as expected ) and more bass apparent Not sure if more bass is due to the increase in volume ? Need to crank them loud at rehearsal and see if I like the combination for those bigger gigs where I want a bit more “ cab” Doesn’t sound wrong or bad just different I have plenty of amp power with my TE1200 so I don’t need both cabs for the watts as at 8homs it’s rated around 700w so that’s ok I feel with my 122 800w cab.

They both sound great and although it’s common for 10’s to be used with 15’s in the old school way and I currently own both I guess it’s a try it and see if only to hear better as it raises the sound closer to my ears. The 122 on its own is awesome and all I really need and I have two of the MB58R 102 cabs ( both for sale on here ) it was a thought that maybe I would keep one of the 102 cabs purely as a bigger rig I can try it out and see if I like the result. If they both sell then that’s fine too and I will gig the 122 on its own as it’s perfectly acceptable

Hi I have the MarkBass MB58R 122 8ohm cab rated 800w and also MB58R 102 cab rated 8 ohms 400w is this stack unlikely to work or sound odd ? I’m aware of power spread not being equal but is it a mistake using a 12” cab and a 10” cab together and why ? Better is two of the same I know but I own both and tempted to try at rehearsals if folk think it won’t sound awful!! The 122 cab on its own is awesome so this is just getting a cab nearer my ears more than anything

Looks good and nearer to the original I think I paid £40 for the Gotoh

Yeah I did look at the DG212 but £900 put me off when the MB 122 was £600

I changed my PBass bridge to the Gotoh 201B-4 and it’s a step up in quality The Mexican Fender Player II has a very low quality standard bridge, in fact the new standard range PBass from Indonesia has a decent bridge so I left it stock I’ve had HiMass and they are too bulky and the Gotoh is a perfect upgrade and swop. Better saddles, screws and no sideways movement which was a reason to change too

Ten songs for an audition is a bit much when they may be seeing several candidates. 6 songs is plenty for both parties to see if it’s a good fit Different if you already know many of the songs but asking for 10 songs only to be told no is a bit unfair. I’m sure that won’t happen and you will get the role 👍

Good news although sometimes you find damp has got into components and is slowly corroding yet still appearing to work. It’s the same reason cars that get flood water damage even minor are now written off by insurers as they discovered over time failures of components. Not so sure I would have total faith in the amp if it had been wet but you may be lucky, hope so 👍

More than the cab I purchased!!

I guess Alex is right they have sold you as per the details on their website Problem is 10weeks is crazy so they need to start building some for stock like other manufacturers do so in cases like this it’s possible to correct errors even though it appears it’s the buyer who made the error not the seller

Cab used last night at rehearsal and it’s very nice. Definitely capable as a single cab use and lovely full punchy tone with clarity. The Pure model is definitely a great cab and 17kg !!

Arrived today for home practice has some basic bass presets loaded drum machine and looper cost me £36 off eBay ! Soniklink app works easily from your phone for charging effects etc Great practice tool for home and sounds decent for home use About the size of a packet of fags !

That was the reason they gave and it’s to be expected, they generally offer superb service but not necessarily the best prices I’m discovering

Yes I’ve had a Vanderkley 212 cab and it was awesome but heavier than MB Also had a Monaco which was very nice too.

I’m hoping one is enough but I deliberately got the 8ohm cab just in case ! Crazy light these cabs but sound as good as a traditional wooden cab

Excellent service from Bass Direct Decided a 212 cab was more to my liking and at 8ohms 800w it suits my TE1200 nicely as a single use cab and weighs 17kg ! Deeper tone I think compared to my smaller MB58R 102 cabs although they are pretty amazing too especially when I use two of them Will decide if a single 212 8ohm cab is sufficient and run it loud at rehearsals!

Bass Direct Markbass MB58R 122 Pure 800w 8 ohm £649 Weight 17kg That’s what I’ve chosen and should arrive tomorrow 👍
