Markbass New York 121

Excellent cabinet for the bass player who's looking for power, punch and definition in a small, light weight package.

I know, there aren't many things as divisive as bass amp or cab brands and their associated sound. Lots of bass players will swear to never use anything other than Ampeg or Glockenklang. Just as many will probably swear to steer clear of Markbass cabs, probably many people in the middle of that diagram. However: if you cherish your spine, and if you don't want to depend on four people carrying your bass amp to the van at the end of rehearsal, this Markbass cab could be for you.

It's light weight, really compact, and despite all that it packs a punch. I mean, this thing can take some power and is LOUD. Bear in mind it's only a 1x12! I was impressed. In my search for compactness and portability I made a journey through Markbass's catalog: starting with a 4x8, via 2x12 ending up with this 1x12. Oh, and there's been a pair of Aguilar 1x12's as well. Talk about back breakers..

In my experience, honest to god, this is the clearest, best sounding cab I've owned to date. Of course, it will always remain a matter of taste but I really like the middy (some say "honky") sound of Markbass. Just goes great with my 57 reissue P-bass.

Like with most products I've bought from Thomann to date: 10/10 would recommend!
