Johnnyc Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'd recommend the Barefaced Super Twelve T, it's really punchy, super light, goes as loud as you'd ever need. It responds really well to EQ changes on the amp/bass unlike some other cabs so you can really get a totally different sound with the twist of a few dials. I've got the tweeterless version but it still has all the highs I'd ever need. Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 +1 the Super12, I've got the 'T' with the tweeter but to be honest has more highs than I'll ever need so its rolled off halfway. I'd say compared to a lot of cabs they are relatively flat sounding (in terms of colouration) so whatever you put in from your amp you'll get out - without anything missing. Great if you have a good sounding amp, but some amps are specifically designed to go with the speakers from the same manufacturer (TC springs to mind). Also a lot of cabs seem to have a dip in the mid range, which is great for HiFi speakers as everything sounds very pleasant, but put them in a band scenario and you'll always be turning up to hear yourself. So depending on the amp you have, you might find the Barefaced a bit too honest! The good news is that with an EQ adjustment you should be able to get whatever sound you want, but don't expect it to sound like any other cab on the market. It took me a couple of gigs to get used to hearing myself really clearly wherever I was on stage without blasting out the rest of the band. I run my Genz Shuttle amp completely flat with my Super12 (tweeter rolled off halfway) - the amps a bit clinical but the cab is monster, its a one hand carry/wheel to the car and it fits in my tiny boot too.

ezbass Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Schroeder cabs seem to go well with Markbass amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Markbass NY122, Genz NX2 (the new 2x12) or my favourite, the Aguilar DB212. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbassred Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I didn't realise that Markbass made a 2X12. That would solve everything, and I quite like the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I recently picked up a Markbass club600f32. It's like the NY122 but front ported. I absolutely love it. I'm coming from a 102p 2x10. It is much bigger and bulkier (25kg). But so worth it for the sound. Very loud and transparent with a lot of low end and a much better tweeter than the smaller cabs. I'm using it with a LMIII.

Musicman20 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yeah the NY122 is a SUPER loud clear cabinet. I had one for a very short amount of time but as I had so much else I didn't need it. It's light and slim and kicks like a mule. It has a much better tweeter than the usual Piezo loaded cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The Gallien Krueger 2x12 neo is a cracking cab. Well worth a look at. I would think it would match rather well with a Markbass amp as their EQ strengths are different and therefore complementary. Cheaper than anything else suggested too ! Also very light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin8708 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have a Vanderkley 2x12 MNT , very detailed cab , very clear and takes no prisoners , louder than you will ever need . Excellent build quality . I love Markbass amps , have the tube 800 myself , but I find the Markbass cabs bit , um , mushy ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
