They're awesome in stereo Joegarcia, go on, you know you want to

Korg are about to release a tuner with a built in time machine, featuring shiny blue lights.

Korg DTR sold to Walbassist. DBX Compressor and Behringer Cab to go, roll up roll up!

DBX 160A Compressor/Limiter - Mint condition, original packaging - [b]sold (pending)[/b] I highly recommend this for use with Markbass amps, I tried all sorts of compressors with my Markbass gear and none came close to how good this sounds when it's run last in the signal chain before the amp. I'm sure it sounds great with other amps too of course, Marcus Miller gives the 160A the thumbs up Behringer Ultrabass BB210 - Good condition, corner blocks are a little scuffed but the grill is immaculate, no dings or dents anywhere. - [b]sold[/b] 2x10 / 600watt / 8 ohm Ed

Did you get my PM re: VFB2? I'll take it

Thanks for the offer Higgie but I need the money. This amp would sound great through your 4x10 and 1x15 though!

I presumed too much

I'd like to hear some sound clips of this pedal, does anyone know of a good source for such a thing?

[quote name='funkmunky' post='285490' date='Sep 17 2008, 12:00 AM']Hi, I notice you also have a Bergantino NV610. Could you tell me what the TA503 sounds like through that cabinet? Steve[/quote] Hi Steve, The TA503 sounds quite punchy through the NV610. It's not as squeaky clean sounding as the other Markbass heads but you wont get any overdrive out of it. It works very nicely for finger style and plectrum playing through the NV610 but it's no good for slap playing, although I don't imagine you have an NV610 for slap bass! Have you tried any other markbass heads through your 610? I could compare them for you as I've had experience with quite a few of them. I'm struggling a bit to describe the sound of the 503 plugged into the NV! IMHO the 503 is at it's best when it's plugged into Markbass cabs. I used to use it with a Markbass 4x10 and 1x15 and found it to be incredibly versatile.

I've just bought an all-valve monster and I can't justify having two amps, so this one has to go. It sounds more organic than it's other Markbass buddies (except the Classic 300!) and it's quite a lot louder than the other 500w Markbass amps. The semi-parametric EQ is very powerful and gives you loads of options from taking out the nasty frequencies that are making the room rattle like mad or boosting those mids that you want more of, for example.

That happened roughly 3 months ago, Proel (UK Markbass distributors) repaired it for me within a week and I've been using it twice a week for band practices since and it's been perfect. This amp is still under warranty until mid-november, I have the original receipt and warranty card, I also have all the original packaging. There are no big marks or blemishes on the amp, just some very light rack-rash that I couldn't photograph because it's so minor. It's always lived in a rack since the day I bought it brand new. I've also got the 2-Button footswitch for it and the rack ears. These are the kind of speakon connections that you can put jack leads into the middle of, clever stuff... I'm after [b]£550[/b] for this amp. I can send it via next day courier, fully insured for £10. Payment via transfer is preffered, or collection in person with cash would be fine. I can accept paypal if you can add a little extra to cover the fees Thanks

I plan on taking a load of pics of the 115HR and the TA503 this weekend. The amp is now for officially for sale because I've just got my Orange back!

Thank you knicknack

Thanks Shaun, I'll try to get some pics of the amp up over the weekend, hopefully that won't tempt you too much ;-)

I'm such a n00b!! Can someone please move this to the Amps for sale section, I appear to have had a complete moment! :wacko:

Within the next 2 weeks I plan on putting my Markbass TA503, 4x10 and 1x15 up for sale. I've recently had a massive change in direction with my bass sound, resulting in me buying an Orange AD200B and Bergantino NV610. The TA503 is an awesome amp. valve pre-amp, very loud, 500w, semi-parametric EQ (www.markbass.it for the spec!). It sounds more organic than it's other Markbass buddies (except the Classic 300!) and it is quite a lot louder than the other 500w Markbass amps, not that you ever really need more volume from these amps anyway! As many of you will have seen in the repairs forum I recently had a problem with this amp where it blew it's power block [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21784"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21784[/url]. That happened over 2 months ago, Proel (UK Markbass distributors) repaired it for me within a week and I've been using it twice a week for band practices since and it's been perfect. This amp is still under warranty until mid-november, I have the original receipt and warranty card, I also have all the original packaging. There are no marks or blemishes on the amp, it's always lived in a rack since the day I bought it brand new. [b]TA503: £550[/b] I will also be selling my Markbass cabs. They are the HR models with the ports on the back. Both of them are in great condition, the plastic corners on the 4x10 are a little scuffed up but there are no digs or dents in the carpet or grill of either of them. They've both always been used with the TA503 and have never been abused! [b]410HR (4x10) - *SOLD* 115HR (1x15) - *SOLD* [/b] I'd prefer collection from Plymouth but I can post this stuff for a reasonable price. Give me a PM if you have any questions, I'll get some pics sorted as soon as I can. Cheers, Ed
