Been shopping around for a MK2. Just curious what everyone’s thoughts are. Have a Z convertible cab so makes sense to just go with the head but wondering If I’d be missing out on some extra mojo that the combo has. Seems Doc really out some extra thought into the combo with the cab design etc. Hoping to pull the trigger before too long and been agonizing a bit over this bit.

No experience, but I think that combo cab is what has everyone raving. It is a different design and will wait for the experienced to chime in. But if I were buying, I’d go combo.

I bought the combo and glad I did. When running it out to a couple custom cabs I have the presence is somewhat lost. The combo allows the amp to bloom in 3D where through my cabs there is less wow factor. Combo is simple for me too.

I think what everyone loves about the combo is how 3D it sounds. It fills the room.

The Z 28 MKII combo cab is magnificent. Not only is light weight and very resonant, it fills the room with a glorious 3D sound. I don't know if you guys noticed but a player purchased a new Z 28 MKII removed the chassis and installed his MAZ 38 inside. He has the Z 28 MKII chassis for sale, he only wanted the Red Z 28 cab and had to purchase the complete amp to get it. We have had many requests for combo cab sales but with the difficulty getting cabs from my supplier I was reluctant to sell empty cabs. But this instance has made me rethink selling empty combo cabs. What are your thoughts ?

Hi Doc, That Z28 MKII is glorious. Each time I have heard one I am amazed at how good it sounds and how 3D it sounds. I've had the pleasure of hearing one in 4 different rooms at various volume settings and it sounds amazing each time. I think an empty cab may sell but maybe offer it as a long lead item. Take some orders and the batch buy them so you don't end up with an inventory mess. What chassis will fit that cab? I have a couple of amps I'd be interested in upgrading and I'd be willing to wait for a batch order. my 2 cents, Todd

What are your thoughts ? Z agreed. The cab is amazing. Just a HUGE sound. And not obnoxiously huge, but really musical. Really fantastic! I would consider buying an empty cab if you might be thinking about a batch buy….

I would not turn down the opportunity to purchase a cab for my prototype. I thought the Z28 combo was perfect and felt as light or lighter than my standard z 1x12.

It’s a great stage cab Z, that top vent adds a little detail and sparkle that you can’t hear when standing right next to a traditional cab on a small stage. And in general that larger baffle and cab design just has a great vibe. The standard lite cab may be better suited to a tighter sound and might be preferred depending on what one is after, but I’m sure the Z28 MKII cab would sound great with any of your amps if those characteristics is what someone is after.

Wonder what the Z-Plus would sound like.

I bet the z plus would sound amazing in this cab! If you end up selling the cabs, I would definitely join in on buying one for my z plus. I absolutely love it with my z-28 mkii.

Checking back in. The chassis came and and the seller framed it up in some plywood. Running it through my convertible 1x12 with Scumback H55-PVC….simply stunning. Bass at 3:00, treble at noon, volume at 1:30
Have owned a Maz 18, Remedy, M12 and Z-wreck Jr and have no real complaints about the quality of any of them but that itch to change pops up every now and again….Think this one could be a different story. It’s such a tonal chameleon, but lacks for nothing in the personality department. Just chews up everything I’ve thrown at it.
Can’t wait to get proper cab and to try some different speakers with it.
