Markbass Traveler 121 H

I bought this cabinet to meet a big dilemma among bassists: How to find a portable speaker driving without owning a motor home, without breaking their backs to each mounted scope or sidewalk, without paying a his fortune to have a "correct" and that can collect at least 300 / 400 W. ..

The answer is imposed: Markbass!

The technical characteristics can be summarized simply: 15 kg, 400 W into 8 ohms, and an HP 12 "with a switchable tweeter on the side ...

SOUNDS

For sound: no complaints! The small yellow "sends his race", as my scratch ... Indeed far beyond the features weight / size, I wondered how this little cube (which fits easily on the passenger seat of a twingo) ^ is also more of a rectangle, would be able to satisfy me on stage. .. Well when plugged the bass and the head (Gallien Krueger 400 RB-III, which delivers 8 W at 150-160 and 240 ARO 4 ohms ...) I realized ... Nothing to say, the sound is powerful but very time I ^ m defined ... That's the advantage of 12 ": a mix between the low of 15" and a sharp 10 ".., super short compromises we peutmoduler at will thanks to the tweeter which is set on the side. J4ai pushed a little and it follows well! Only regret: my t ^ te eventually saturated as it was already fully saturated and it ... Too bad because the little orange still wondering!

In short: great!

OVERALL OPINION

I did the last few days but already it made me feel beautiful.
* Sobre simple effective brief but happiness!

Likes: The look (if you like the side "orange "...) is unique and so much more modern ... weight: it is carried in one hand (and I'm pretty white michel Schwarzenegger) congestion: in a corner of the apartment he is seen almost ... He returned in any car trunk (even a twingo!), sound: powerful enough for most of the benefits répet'-pubs - external ...

I dislike: the hp that vibrates a lot as it is stressful ... But we'll see for reliability ...

I have tried just about everything there as cabinet (Ampeg, trace elliot, yorkville, peavey, fender ...) and j'avour that without the pretensions of a BSE or Glockenglang it ensures!

For around 500 euros with 400 Watts into 8 ohms! It's been just over a watt euros ... The other competitors can not match ...

Caisson Basse high quality

12 inch + tweeter (tweeter important).

There is a big beefy knob well to set the power of the tweeter.

Super sound: versatile, powerful.

I rock, it will warm to the groove passsages very aggressive in any case it sounds!

And quality manufacturing Markbass: Premium.

SOUNDS

I have the 8 ohm version

His clear and precise, the big deal over there all the frets on the G string (since There's an adjustable tweeter, treble sound great).

I have not tested 5-string but I'm sure it would pass without worry.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it with a head Markbass Little Mark 250. I highly recommend it.

Only 15Kg! I carry a hand, and hop in the trunk of the Clio, it is nickel. Sometimes I lugs around in a metro devil.

Before that I had several combos. My favorite was from Ampeg combo Markbass but it's the same power for half as heavy and still a great sound. Today I prefer the Ampeg equivalent power that I have the opportunity to use including rehearsal studio.

Good value: when we buy we buy Markbass almost artisanal manufacturing made in Italy by her lovers, not a low-end product and fragile welded by poor underpaid in the Third World.

A head Markbass LM 250 + that this box is 17 kg in all and it sounds great in concert. Royal!

- What technical characteristics have motivated your choice?
Having an amp markbass (LM II), I trusted the brand and I expected to have a quality speaker.
I hesitate between the speaker and others (ampeg for example) but I chose the sake of uniformity after markbass (design cohrent with my amp) and the weight very low.

- For what purpose?
I use it for the time being BPS (BPS eu nsuele I REU baffle yesterday). Destiny also the scene (small scenes)

- What amp / What configuration? ...
As stated above, I second flight with a LMII. + A fender jaguar bass.
On leaving the baffle board the first impression is the lightness. Then, you realize right away that it is a product very bie inally (fortunately, has cost even when PRS 600).
Only BMOL: The maple is carpeted. I prfr leather (or sky), which takes months nla dusty and hair ...

In principle yes. It is thundering to hear what this speaker can go out, well ausis bass level than at high frequencies. And mediums, I love it!

I used to play rock (pop rock, rock aleternatif). rang superbly. My mediums emerge with impressive clarity and a good "growl" that I like.
