It's is currently on hold pending collection. 

Yeah, I'm just getting back basically what I paid for it, hope yours goes soon too, fingers crossed.

This is in very excellent condition and as you know these are ace amps. I am moving this on as I have a PA cab now and am going FRFR, otherwise this would be staying.

Super condition and in perfect working order. 
 

Collection from Nottingham (or meet close ish) preferred, but might be able to post as I have a load of packing - message me and I will get a price.

Thanks - any questions please just ask.

Had some interest here and a potential deal but like selling a house there is a "chain". SO as it stands the is available and I need to shift it....

So, grab a "bargain" with an offer?

Cheers

An extremely versatile 1k amp for under £450?  This is an amazing deal.

it is, it is pretty much what it owes me though. Surprised it is still here to be fair. 

A lot better than the Littlemarks in my opinion, irrespective of the power.  If it doesn't go I will happily keep it and get a Barefaced to go with it.

Still for sale - will listen to offers, feel free to message me.

Thanks again

Chris

how is the tweeter on these? Ie, is it nice and bright/articulate, or is it a dark sounding cab?

My cab has sold, so now this needs to go.

I think from memory the jumper switched the effects loop from parallel to series, not pre- post EQ. I'm prepared to be corrected on that mind. Would certainly support why you wouldn't have noticed too much difference.

Correct. However there is a huge difference between using the instrument input vs the effect return.  The instrument input must have another preamp inside, before the main eq you can change, while the effects return is nice and clean.

Well, I have just tried this:

tech21 guitar fly rig v2, into both the bass input and the effect loop return obv not at the same time.

Used the DI output into my studio desk and monitors, as I don’t have a cab at the moment, but the test remains valid using the DI output of the Marcus Head.

I find that the effect return is indeed post EQ but that is fine, sounds flat, when set as such.

However, there is clearly some sort of other pre amp shaping immediately after the instrument input on the head, as plugging in here does not sound good for guitar. So I guess this is the input gain stage?

thanks chaps. got to be worth a try I guess. A super midget would be ok for me actually.  Food for thought.  FRFR for guitar with a pre of my choice, and still a proper bass amp for bass duties.

I have the limited edition 'iron man' Marcus Miller 500W head.  Unfortunately, going into the effects return does not circumvent the EQ on this, so I doubt yours would either.

that's a shame to be fair - they should at least make it switchable. So, it is still for sale.

I have emailed them, will report back

Hi

In my FRFR project, for a rig that will do bass and guitar, a thought has occurred: I could use a Barefaced Big Baby2, and my Little Marcus 1000 for both duties, but only if one thing is clear:

So does anyone know if the effect return on this head is post preamp and all EQ - ie direct into the Power Amp.  If it goes straight to the Power Amp, it would work.

Manual is no help. I may email Markbass, but thought I would ask here first.

Thus fine chap came to my house to collect the Markbass cab - seamless transaction, great chap, many thanks.

Hi still available?

being collected tonight hopefully mate.

indeed, I'm sure this will go before my Markbass sells.

yes. I believe it is just a "pass through" of the input signal.

Could probably accept close to £500 for this - bag included and the bag is as new.

You ever go near Cardiff?

To be fair no lol. 

8 ohm cab, very good - one of the best from Markbass. Only selling as going down the FRFR route, otherwise this would be staying.

8 ohms, good condition, a few wear marks but nothing really to worry about and all works perfectly.

Nottingham collection or meet up.

This is the best Markbass head I have used. Massive power and headroom. Great EQ. Really good condition. 
 

I’ve used it on a few gigs and it is great. I’m only selling as I am going down the FRFR route with a cab for bass and guitar duties with preamps. Otherwise this would not be going anywhere.

Comes with a nearly new Markbass bag and the mains lead. And edit / it also has the Markbass foot switch which I will include 

Welcome to collect from Nottingham or I can post as I have the box. Or meetup. Whatever really.

I’ve done loads of sales etc over the years on here - there is probably some feedback somewhere…

oooo.

Did this sale complete?

What is your current Markbass rig?  Assuming it's something like a CMD 121H (and not a pair of 8x10s etc!) - then the answer to your question is yes.

 

My RCF 732A replaced a Big Baby 2.  For QSC, look at the K12.2; for Yamaha, the DXR12 mkII.

current rig is Little Marcus 1000 and a Standard 210 8 ohm…used carefully so as to take care of the cab with this power

Just cos the response is quoted doesn’t mean It can get that low with any sort of significant drop off. Additionally, whether the amp can sustain lows without sagging… and then there’s the ruggedness of the speaker itself.

this is what I mean and it worries me
