Tecamp XS112 ? I hear good reports about the 212 & the XS112 is only 22 lbs ! That's the lightest 1x12 I've found.

I've been doing a lot of research on this. I do a lot of local gigs and get to them on the bus. I had a Markbass CMD 121P which was great but the speaker really let it down IMO. If you A/B it with the internal speaker and then an external, the difference is astounding ! I had an EBS HD350 and two Neo cabs which rarely left my home so I decided to sell this rig and get something lightweight with a great sound. I settled on the Markbass F500 head. I'm still trying cabs but so far I've tried EBS, Schroeder 15+L, Markbass ' yuk ' & Epifani UL112. The Epifani blew everything away by miles. Super tight low end, clear mids and classy highs. All frequencies are clear and level and it only weighs 30Lbs ! Alex from the Gallery also highly recommends the Markbass/Epifani setup. I haven't tried the Compact yet and The Berg's are a little to expensive for me at the moment although I hear great things about them. So basically, check out the Epifani cabs would be my recommendation.

For the record - I received an email today from Markbass stating that there was a miss print in the manual for the F500. ' The high EQ point is in fact 10 kHz, as stated on the website. The manual is incorrect and we have made the correction for future printings. Sorry for any confusion this has caused ' .

I've now done 2 gig's with my F500. Best sound I've ever had ! Had many amps over the last 20 years and this beats all of them & it fits into my gig bag ! I'm a very happy man

F500 on it's way

I like ultra high's. Sold my EBS HD 350 recently cos I needed something more portable. So I'm looking for something that can deliver glassy high end. Tried out the new Markbass " Little Mark Tube " . Very nice. Tried out the F1 with Epifani UL 112. Really nice, super tight, detailed sound. Shame there's no mute & pre/post switch. Also gonna check out the TecAmp Puma 500 and Genz Benz Shuttle Max next week.

Yup. Markbass have dropped the high control on the F 500 to 4.5 Khz. Was 10 Khz on the F 1. I also feel that Markbass are a tad overpriced although I have found the F 500 on Thomann for £811 delivered. I'm also interested in the Eden WTX500. Only downside to this one - If the fuse breaks, you have to send it to eden to be changed !!

Has anyone made the jump from F1 to F500. What is your opinion ?

I'm selling my Markbass combo. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51028"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51028[/url]
