Musicman20 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I had a quick go on these whilst testing a Bongo. My initial thoughts are: The 2x10 is tiny and small. The 2x10 is very loud for its size....very loud. The amp head wasn't that exciting - but I didn't fiddle with it that much. Both were built very well, and the cab impressed me after hearing bad reports on the Markbass cabinets. For its size/weight/price, it definitely is a good contender.

[/quote] Didn't Marco start off building amps specifically for Musicman? That would explain why the two go together so beautifully! I can see why a lot of people don't like Markbass cabs, they can bring out some unpleasant sounding mids from certain basses... I love mine though!

eude Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 How was the low end on the cab mate? Does it get close to the low end from an Aggie 1x12?... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude [/quote] Hmm, I think in volume it would win hands down, and the low end, from the bad reports I have heard, was actually very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietruszka Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I find the low end on my 102p excellent, it's had no problems filling a pub on its own! I love it, really clear, tight, punchy and more than enough bottom! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollington Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 This cab fits in the boot of my tiny Mazda. It also sounds peachy with my SR5. My Hartke LH500 didn't get on with this cab, the volume jump was far too sketchy. I now use an Orange Terror 500 and I've not felt gaseous since!

That little cab has always intrigued me, but I've never been sure about 10" speakers when looking for big volume, but I remember being VERY impressed with Ou7shined's MarkBass 4x10, one of the HF ones.

molan Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I bought a 210P purely because it's one of the few cabs that will fit in the boot of a Z4. Very impressed so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have gas for 2 at the minute. I tried one and loved it, and i don't usually go for multispeaker cabs or 2x10 at all. no problem with low end. MM20 was it vertical or horizontal?

It was sat on top of a large cab underneath which wasn't plugged in (can't for the life of me remember what the cab underneath was). Tiny footprint. Very punchy! If you search musicman sterling on YouTube, one of their artists is testing a HS with two vertical 102p's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I had a pair of Markbass 2 x 10 traveller cabs. If I used both I stacked them vertically. Even the sound of one cab (vertically) is very sweet and fairly loud and deep for the size. They are great cabs and I never understood the bad rep MM20 mentioned. Frank.

Opticaleye Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I had 2 x 102p's and currently have a TTE 500 (which I absolutely love). I can't imagine that one 102P and a TTE would be a good match as the 102 doesn't really have [i]low[/i] lows and the TTE has quite a controlled low end compared to the LM2 I also have. I did loads of gigs with just one 102P and the LM2. 2 of those cabs sound great though. I now use 2x Markbass Club 121 cabs which suit the TTE more than they suit the LM2 .
