Thanks for this, the chap I'm borrowing this LMII has had MB amps for years, various models, and never had an issue with any 🤷🏻♂️
-
Exactly what I'm thinking Rob! 😉👌
-
Thanks man, this is exactly the conclusion I'm coming to. Its extremely rarely I need to DI, but I have my MXR Bass DI+ on my board if I want to go out before the amp. Thanks for your help 😊🙏
-
I've just read the first few pages, and I'm not sure what the point or conclusion of the thread is 😂🙈 seems to just be conjecture and subjectivity. Ultimately, any amp can go wrong a) if its badly mistreated, or b) if a component fails. I don't really see that the liklihood of either occurring have any direct correlation to what the amp class is? 🤷🏻♂️
-
Thanks for this, I get what you're saying. 😊👍
-
So guys, do the newer Class D models not have the same reliability issues, RE component failure? Is the LM800 class D? 😬🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😅
-
Would the subtle differences be discernable in a band mix? I am no solo virtuoso! 😂👍
-
Out of interest, what is likely to go wrong over time, assuming they're looked after and not run flat out all the time?
-
Yes, the LM800 arrived Friday, but I don't know if it's far more power than I'll ever need, and as I bought it from a reputable vendor I have a window of opportunity to return. The LM2 seems to sound the same but obvs much cheaper. 🤷🏻♂️

Thanks Mark! Very helpful. I had always assumed (wrongly it seems) that all the markbass heads were Class D, I guess mainly because of how small/light they are. As I said, the loaner I gigged last night blew me away! Such great tone and PLENTY of power! Are they generally pretty reliable? I did have the same amp in a CMD102P (from around 2006), which sounded great and never skipped a beat in my ownership. 😉👌

Hey folks! Yes I have googled this, and I've found threads on here and TB, but they all seem to go off in many tangents and not really answer the question. 😂 Aside from the pre/post DI switch and the line out level knob, is there actually any difference between the LM II and III? I gigged a LM II loaned by a friend tonight, and I thought it was just incredible. I can't see that it's worth spending extra on a III though if those are the only differences. Thanks for any insight you can offer. 😉👍

Congrats! These are superb cabs, I rocked one for about 6 years and it was great!
-
First set done, sounds incredible! Super, super pleased with this cab, I think best I've had by some distance! I actually haven't used the LM800, I'm using a LM2 I'm borrowing off a friend, and I think 500w is more than enough 😂😳 The low end response of this cab is just what I've been searching for.
-
We'll see how it goes on the gig tonight, but super impressed with this GR cab so far 😍👌
-
New rig day! 🥳🥳🥳 Well, the head came yesterday, and I did a 5.5hr round trip first thing today to pick the cab up! Sounds absolutely incredible at house volume, so I can't wait to give it some beans at tonight's gig. The cab is 1200w 4ohm so will be able to make good use of all that juice. So excited 🤘😎

The ultimate Rumble rig in my opinion! I tried out various configurations, but with the detail and punch of the 10's and the gutsy low end presence of the 15", this setup won hands down for me, it sounds colossal! Very versatile, great tone, and more than enough volume! I love this rig, but alas I have been struck by the infernal GAS, so it's time for a change! 😅 Both pieces are in great condition but have been gigged, so there is the odd very minor mark, but no real scuffs/tears in the tolex or anything. The combo has a padded Hotcovers cover, and the 1x15" has the official Fender cover. Priced for a quick sale, and I'd prefer not to split if possible. Collection from Hereford or meet up within a reasonable distance. Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions! 😊👍- 1 reply

Sounds great man, wish I had the cash available! What strings do you have on there out of interest? -
I'm not normally a big tort fan, just think it would suit that. 🤷🏻♂️

That's SOOOOO nice mate! 😍😍😍 -
I can't stop looking at this, but I only bought a bass on saturday 😂 I keep thinking how nice it would look with a tort PG 😍
-
Okay, I see your black scratchplate and raise you..... Cream pickup covers!!! 😮😃🤯 (apologies, looks very yellow in my cellar /music room!)
-
Damn..... Beaten to it! There's another tweak coming though.... 😉

Well, met up with @franzbassistthis morning to pick up the Player, and what a lovely bass it is! The quality and feel remind me more of my old US Std Jazz than the old Mex standard series. Nice weight, very resonant, very playable, sounds like a P should, LOVELY neck! Very happy. Great gigbag too! I can see what people mean about slightly rough feeling fret edges on these, so I'll round them off a bit at some point - it's not like it's awful though. I'm planning on customising it a little this week, will share pics once done. Thanks again for your help all, and thanks Gareth for a lovely bass! 😊👍

Hi folks! Thanks for all the help. So, after much deliberation, I am picking up a buttercream player P on Saturday morning, can't wait! I think the neck feel and fretboard radius will suit me better if I'm honest. Just to make sure I'm doing the right thing, I took my old squier P to rehearsal last night. This was my first bass from about 1994, and is one of the Korean ones with a plywood body - nevertheless it rocked! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the P sound really worked well in the band mix, so I'm confident the Player will be even better (hopefully much easier to play too 😂)

Hey folks! Just wondered if anyone knows where one of these can be purchased in the UK? Can't seem to find any. Thanks!
