Smash Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi all which do you think is the best option: Genz Benz STL3.0-10T - Pros: Removable head can be used for other larger cabs - Cons: Probably can't cope with med gig Markbass CMD121P - Pros: More powerful unit - Cons: head is not removable Any thought?

Smash Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi Budget up to £600 bit cheaper would be nicer but it has to be light weight (around 12Kg and under) Di'ing - No its mainly for those smaller gigs where a very small P.A. would be used, i.e. pub size 50 people jobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My thoughts are you are going to struggle to get lightweight gear for that money unless you are playing really small venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 What you want is a modular rig where you can use some for small gigs and all of it for bigger gigs, like a combo plus extension cab or and amp and two cabs. There is not much under 12KG though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I use a Markbass 121P as my small rig for just the size of pub gigs you mentioned. I find that's it's plenty loud and I play rock and pop covers with a loud drummer and very loud guitarist. I have another rig for larger gigs but I'm waiting for the new (smaller) Markbass 121 traveler cab to come onto the market. This new cab should be a similar size to the combo, hopefully making a nice lightweight and compact mini rig. Combo for small gigs adding the second cab for larger gigs.
