cool, thanks everyone. I am going for it. MB on ebay and on here, attracting offers. Deal done on 2* GS112 cabs as long as my MB sells. Happy days. C

BDDI is always on. Always makes my LM2 sound way better. I only haave the blend at about 40% effect, 60% direct though, just to add a touch of excitement and drive, while retaining the Stingray sound and punch. All oher controls at "noon" except presence which is at around 10 o'clock. And it makes a great DI, superior to the LM2 one.

Although it sounds awesome, I am thinking of a change, and have always heard good things about the LM2 / GS112 combination. I would intend to get 2 of the GS112 cabs, but just wondered if anyone had compared the Markbass 4*10 cabs with the Aggys? Will 2 12" cabs pump out like a 4*12? What about ONE 12" cab - maybe an unfair comparison. So, would like to see what experiences anyone has before I go for it! Chris

they are the vocal line - see where the words are written, that is the singing tune

yeah i had thought of that as an option too. they don't come up that often, and when they do, the 2*10 are not that much less £ than a 4*10, but worth a thought. Gonna do some pics of the stuff and do a proper thread later

narrowing down to : Roland D210 combo Ashdown Evo 500 210 combo Hartke Hydrive 5210 Any thoughts? Are these inferior to my MB rig?

Ok, i am a long time Markbass user, but am now gigging more on guitar, and occasionally on bass on "dep" gigs. So, I need some guitar bits, and have a very nice MArkbass rig sitting under-used. I have another thread about this being maybe fs/ft. Littlemark2, Korg DTR1 tuner, and STd 104HF cab. It strikes me that I only really need a decent combo now, and could do with raising a bit of cash by swapping. My query is really that I am not sure what to look at. It cannot be too dear, since I reckon in total my MB gear is worth £900 ish (?), and I would like some cash out of the move, other wise I might as well not bother changing. I am pretty sure I might have thought of/heard of most options, but I throw it to the forum to have a quick "brainstorm" please. £500, reliable, quality product. If I could find a MB 102 combo at that price i would have it, but they rarely come up. New or used. Head and cab also considered. Fairly powerful. Thanks Chris

I do it. I am lucky in that I teach and gig on bass, elec guitar, classical guitar and drums, all to a high standard, so it allows me a very full teaching schedule and enough gigs that I have to turn stuff down sometimes. Not sure if I could do it if bass was my only thing though. Reliability is the other thing. It must be treated as a BUSINESS and you must not let people down. And be smart, punctual, professional, enthusiastic.

This has probably been said, but, I love the basic 3eq Stingray, mainly for it's simplicity, reliability, and good solid tone. It is not exactly no frills (I would not call 3 EQ "totally simple"), but I always know that whatever the venue and situation, however difficult, I will get a good sound, with very little hassle. All personal choice though, but whenever I strap something else on, I miss what the SR 4 (or indeed 5) gives me. I do like Warwicks, and would like to try a $$, but for me, the Stingray is where it is at.

I always use Santana Oye Como Va, A Dorian

bloody hell, mate, quality. I need to give your gear a bloody good try. Whats your new band?

you mean I am NOT with them - the timewasters that is..

just worth a mention here - [email protected] is nothing to do with my band - www.splinter-band.co.uk also in Nottingham, to avoid any confusion
