Markbass New York 121 Bass Cab

Recommended Posts

Looking at this for my markbass mini cmd 121 combo.
I have a couple of questions.
How do you connect it to the combo?
What is the dial on the side for?
I have only ever used a bass combo amp in my recent years, and technology has moved on. :(

You connect them using a speakon cable. OBBM on here made mine for me at a very good price.

I find it makes quite a difference have both combo & cab and wish I'd bought the cab sooner.

You connect it with strawberry laces.
The dial is the talent booster control. I always have mine set to "stun".

;)

(you already got the answer, so I felt I had to make up a different one to confuse you :P)

Oh, and you can only use it in New York otherwise it is "out of phase"....

I see this has 2 speakon sockets. Why is this? Sorry to be dumb :(

If you have an amp with only one speaker out and want to use two cabs, you can use one cable amp-cab1, and another cable can1-cab2 using the second speakon socket. The sockets are almost-always-but-check-manual-please wired in parallel.

If you're using the cab with just a head, the second socket is a link to a second cab. They'll most likely be wired in parallel so it doesn't matter which one you use when you connect it as a single extension cab to a combo.

EDIT: Beaten to it!

Ah! I hoped that would be the case. I have been using combos from the very beginning so am not used to plugging things in. :)
