    Thanks for your comments-yes a truly beautiful looking and sounding bass.

    That's Amazing, Great, Thank You. I'll get them ordered up, together with the 4 220uf 200v caps in the power supply section that were stressed. My friend who owns the amp said it was still functioning , hard to believe , but worth a go . C5 and C6 had exploded, and are completely unrecognisable. Best Wishes, Mike

    ...I played Sunday morning services a few times the morning after the old Cutting Edge (aka Delirious) events back in the late 90s early '00s and we used the whole stage rig including smoke machines just because we could... and yes it's not quite the same on a Sunday morning!! (in danger of name dropping @mowf (who is on this forum) used to play with Martin Smith on the Saturday nights)

    Hi. Thank you for looking. I'm selling my LM IV as I no longer use it. I have only used a couple of times for practices. It's in immaculate condition having been housed in a flight case. Ideally would prefer collection but can post at buyers expense Description below copied from Markbass LITTLE MARK IV The new Little Mark IV amps add some amazing features to our flagship Markbass Little Mark III amplifier, an industry standard for tone, portability and value. The new bi-band limiter featured on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing. Its paired with a 500 watt power amp providing impeccable bass frequency reproduction thanks to our MPT proprietary amp specifically designed for bass. In addition the Little Mark IV features a mute switch, and the 3 way switch that that includes the options of a Flat, Scooped or FSW (Footswitchable) EQ options. KEY POINTS > Little Mark’s legacy Since our beginning 20 years ago, Markbass pioneered small amp design with its "Little Mark" series creating an industry standard thanks to their amp's compact size, light weight, along with its signature warm and natural sound. That legacy has been preserved with the Little Mark IV, and has evolved to include the addition of new features requested by many of our artists and customers. > Updated 4 band EQ, Old School filter, 3 way switch Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch. > Bi-band limiter Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes. > MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ switch Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch, along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing you to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as required. > MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

    I had a great day in the sun putting this together today. It will be my turner of slabs into body blanks and for some thinning for blanks prior to drop tops. The action is really smooth and I’m very impressed for £150. I nearly had my eye out taking the plunge spring out of my Triton though. I didn’t realise the size of it lol

    I've had a Boss and two Dittos. Boss (though it was an older model) has features that are complex to use, because they try to add "interesting" and "usable" extras to it. Ditto is more straightforward: Push on, push again to continue the loop. But Ditto (read: you) really benefit from that loop's gonna end light. Even though I can hear what's going on, it is still somewhat hard to find the exact place to make the loop full. Those fractions of a second are too often too few or too many. What I find the looper's best feature: its capability to tell you right away what feels or went wrong. It is a super training tool. While you play you have an idea how you sound, but the looper tells you how you really sound. In the first place it was a nightmare, but now a valuable tool: how to make legato sound legato, am I rushing, or overplaying etc. At the moment I am using a cheapo Valeton Dapper looper with three buttons, but it is not any easier, and it is not compatible with all other pedals I have. I am most probably going back to a newer Ditto model, but... What I love to have in a looper (like in that Valeton) is a headphone output, the obvious choice for private training.

    So I've used my Moog Little Phatty several times in church, most often at the bigger events like Christmas or Easter when there are some "performance" songs. It sounds awesome (imo 😂😂). (But you do have to make sure the keys player leaves you the bandwidth...)

    The chap on the right in the third photo is little Gary. He finished up at PMT in Birmingham. As a schoolboy, I'd go and look in the window of Musical Exchanges when it was in Broad Street, and occasionally venture inside, though I never bought anything. It did get so the staff recognised me. There was a fire there around the time they moved to the new premises - I remember Gary showing me some photos of the aftermath. The new premises were where I bought my Fender P and later exchanged it (and a lot of money) for the Warwick Thumb that I still have (and I only went in there to try out an octaver). Musical Exchanges later became Reverb and moved to new instruments only, rather sadly. When I still had aspirations and pretensions to being a guitarist, I bought a Carlsbro Stingray combo from Woodroffes. Had that amp for many years.

    Just looking at the diagram on its own I would agree its a bit confusing, although the image looks cut off, but the guy put context to it by saying turn left to right which is correct. Turning anticlockwise when looking at the truss rod is right to loosen it, as is turning left to right when facing the headstock. Back when I was a beginner many moons ago, if someone said turn the truss rod clockwise or anticlockwise I would have no idea what they were talking about. But see both sides.

    It's the custom order business why so few examples exist. You had to physically go to your local guitar shop, order the bass from a paper catalogue, then wait forever with no news of when it was arriving. The old days, before the internet. Funnily enough, I saw some archive footage from the late 1960's on t.v recently, Johnny Cash or someone of that ilk, can't remember who, and the bass player had exactly this bass. It was colour footage from American t.v and the bass looked brand new and stunning. I noticed it because I've got a similar- looking black Fender 74 AVRI Jazz Bass but without the matching headstock.

    I think the F# tuning is what many going for a 6 string NG would likely tune to over regular tuning to be fair! But I agree you may want to look at removing the vinyl cover (or at least checking it can be removed cleanly) as its a little niche, don't remember seeing anything like that before!

    Needs a bigger stairway, there's Keith Moon, John Entwhistle, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Amy Winecellar, half of Lynyrd Skynrd, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jeff and Tim Buckley to fit on it and that's just off the top of my head. Edit: And I forgot Phil Lynott and Dusty Hill.

    You look remarkably good for 71, Daryl. My old man has that thing going on too. he's 88 going 68. Anyway, to answer the question. I've always done it. It's a part of what I am. Not bass per se but playing live music in a band with other people. Bass is #1, though. Basschat is a source of inspiration, trying new gear, buying and selling, listening to new music, it all feeds the monster and gets me back out there. This year has been a series of steep learning curves with so many areas of bass, it's what makes me get out of bed.
