leroydiamond Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]i have been using a Markbass traveler 15 cab together with a traveler 2by 10 cab for years and they have served me well. however I want to go for a 1 cab solution. i need a relatively small replacement, so 4by10 lightweights are out. I play in a rock setting so plenty of ooomph required here. Using a markbass f500 amp so the replacement cab will need to be a good match. Any suggestions fellas?[/font][/color] Edited December 31, 2012 by leroydiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm guessing that a Compact will fit the requirement better than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterfire666 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Super12. If its not too big. Perfect for rock. Small. Light and massively loud. Edited December 31, 2012 by winterfire666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I am guesing you'll need a horn... if not then a 212 over a 15. 210 not enough for loud bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Many folks here will recommend Barefaced - a super 12 T would sound like the flagship model for your needs. If you don't have almost a grand to spare, take a look at the GK 2x12 neo II. Just a few kg heavier but half the cost of a S12T. A very, very competent cab also.

Jack Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have to agree with my learned colleague here. Barefaced or GK. Boy, forums sure do have fashions............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Schroeder 1212, if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 yeah the barefaced compact should be plenty loud. Have you tried using your traveller 15 on its own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have a one cab solution without a horn or a mid driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The Schroeder 1210 that`s up for grabs on here at the moment would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using your traveller 15 on its own? [/quote] yea tried the 15 on its own but it needs the 2x10 to give it the extra mid/high end push and allows the f500 to run at 500 watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I suspect you are mixing up what you have heard about the much cheaper MBE series cabs (which are clearly made down to a price) with the much higher quality neo cabs. You will struggle to find much bad written about these GK neo cabs, as most owners simply seem very happy, and I can attest to this. it' a little unfair to put down something you have no experience of, and have not tried to find out a balanced online experience of.

chrismuzz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 To be fair I reckon a Markbass 102HF would be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thats fair enough I have indeed mixed it up with the cheapo one which does have issues (many on this forum over the last few months), fwiw I have tried GK gear inc the 2x12 and for me the 4 ohms, taller cabinet, front porting and rubber castors still swayed me anyway, in its defence again the Genz is much more expensive still at an extra £300.

[/quote] I love my Genx 1x12T cab and it will do most gigs but if the OP is looking to shed a 2x10 and a 1x15 without feeling like he has lost out a single 1x12 wont cut the mustard IMO? 2 of them maybe but thats not a one cab solution is it Edited January 1, 2013 by stingrayPete1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
