Command the Stage with the Markbass MB58R 104 P 8-Ohm Bass Cabinet
For generations of bassists, the 4x10-inch speaker configuration has reigned supreme as the industry standard for punch, massive air movement, and undisputed stage presence. However, traditional 4x10 enclosures have historically been heavy, awkward burdens during load-ins and pack-ups. The Markbass MB58R 104 P shatters this age-old compromise. Proudly engineered and manufactured in Italy under the pioneering vision of Marco De Virgiliis, this cabinet pairs massive, professional power handling with a state-of-the-art eco-friendly housing. Operating at a standard 8-ohm impedance, it offers the ultimate high-performance solution for touring professionals who demand classic 4x10 authority without the crushing physical strain.
Classic Ceramic Punch in a Revolutionary 21 kg Enclosure
If you love the familiar sound, deep low-end thump, and organic warmth of classic ceramic magnets, this cabinet is built exactly for you. The MB58R 104 P is outfitted with four 10-inch Markbass classic ceramic speakers and a next-generation piezo tweeter. While traditional ceramic 4x10 cabinets easily tilt the scales at over 35 kg, Markbass’s innovative, ultra-lightweight biodegradable housing material drops the total weight of this full-sized rig to an unbelievable 21.3 kg (47 lbs). Loading into a high-floor venue or packing a tight vehicle becomes entirely effortless, allowing you to save your energy for the performance.
The Modular Flexibility of an 8-Ohm Architecture
Choosing the 8-ohm version of the MB58R 104 P gives you maximum freedom when configuring your live amplification rig. Driven alone, this 8-ohm cabinet draws highly efficient, perfectly controlled power from your bass head—delivering an abundance of punch and headroom for rehearsals, studio tracking, and standard club stages. When your performance shifts to large festival main stages or outdoor venues, the 8-ohm rating allows you to safely link a secondary 8-ohm cabinet in parallel. This drops the total system impedance load to 4 ohms, safely forcing your amplifier head to unleash its absolute maximum rated wattage and double your air-moving capacity on stage.
Rear-Ported Acoustic Depth and Pristine Transient Speed
Experience a low-frequency response that feels three-dimensional, warm, and tightly focused. The four 10-inch custom ceramic speakers deliver an immediate transient response that tracks rapid-fire fingerstyle, intricate slapping, and heavy pick attacks with absolute accuracy. To perfectly complement this mid-range growl, the enclosure features an intelligently tuned rear bass-reflex port configuration. This design allows your lowest octaves to breathe and couple naturally with venue walls, while the custom crossover network smoothly routes high-frequency details up to 18 kHz through the piezo tweeter for crisp, uncompromised note definition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of the MB58R "P" series compared to the "Pure" series?
The P (Classic) series is specifically engineered for bassists who prefer the traditional, mid-forward growl and punchy response of classic ceramic speakers paired with a piezo tweeter. The Pure series utilizes ultra-lightweight Neodymium magnets and a hi-fi compression driver for an extended, pristine, modern high-frequency voice.
Can I safely stack this 8-ohm 4x10 cabinet with another cabinet?
Yes, absolutely. By pairing this 8-ohm cabinet with another 8-ohm enclosure (such as a secondary MB58R 104 P or a matching 1x15 cabinet) into your amplifier head, the total parallel load safely drops to 4 ohms. This forces your amplifier to unleash its maximum rated wattage and volume output for large-scale venues.
Is the new lightweight biodegradable material durable enough for heavy touring?
Yes. While the advanced material developed for the MB58R series drastically reduces total weight to save your back, it is chemically structured to be incredibly rigid, high-impact resistant, and fully capable of enduring rigorous touring cycles and harsh road conditions.
