Markbass JB combo vs Markbass stack LMII + NY604 cab ?

[anton72]

Happy New Year to everyone. And a question: What would you buy for the same money of the proposed two options? I have good deals on mint Markbass CMD151 Jeff Berlin combo (1x15") and a stack comprising of Markbass LMII head and New York 604 cabinet (4x6"), same power 300 Watt at 8 Ohm. I play some rock and more funk, three piece band with drums and a guitar. This set up is for band practice place. I tried both and unfortunately liked both. What would you chose???

The 604 is a fantastic cab for funk and rock. That's been my go-to mini stack for a few years.

Agree. My only concern is can it compete with 15" combo volume wise?

If you are using it for monitoring, you can get it closer to your ears by placing it on a stand like @StereoPlayer did in this Thread.
An easy cabinet stand project!

Probably not.

Compete in terms of sheer volume? I never did an A/B comparison, but it held it's low end without farting out extremely well. I'd compare it with a 12 rather than a 15.

Looks really what I need. Thanks! Yes I use it mainly for monitoring.
