OK, I've now played the LM3 through the Midget and that's OK. Playing the LM3 through the One10 with the same bass, cord, speakon lead etc, that's not well. I then put the LM3 together with the Cab of the CMD, again it's not good. There's not been any bangs, sparks etc. So there's no sign of a big "event" with anything.

Hi Folk, I have the following kit. MarkBass LM3 MarkBass Mini CMD121P Barefaced Midget Barefaced One10 Recently I've been playing bass using my LM3 and the Barefaced cabs. All with no problems. It all sounded great. Deciding to trade my CMD121 I took it out to try it out for a last go. It played ok, but on notes at the bottom end of the E string the cone seemed to be fluttering, like a fart. All this is at low volume in my lounge at home. Worried, I removed the combo from sale on BC and started to investigate. I checked the mount of the driver. Nothing untoward, so I took out the amp from the combo to a try it on the Midget. The Midget started making the same noise, so I then tried it on the One10, same again. I then put my LM3 back onto the One10 and that's now farting too!!! This was all at low volume. PLEASE tell me I've not totally blown all the drivers. If there's a fault with a head, can it really blow a driver without turning the gain or volume up above 20% ? I've seen there's a guy in Essex who fixes MarkBass. I think I may be off there in the morning. But can anyone help please?

Damn! i just sold the telly!!

@ Ghost Bass, you're not busy this afternoon are you? I'll give that a try.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1442485715' post='2867262'] Unfortunately you have stacked these with opposite polarity, leading to the bass frequencies from the Midget being cancelled out. Try aligning the 'Barefaced' logos properly and you will hear a real improvement in the sound. [/quote] I've got them both with the carry-handles at the top. And the logos are STILL not aligned! Clearly I have faulty kit here. I'm back to Brighton in a week I'll return it all to Alex for re-working under guarantee. ;P

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1442440915' post='2867070'] 'This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available'. Which is code for 'This listing was ended by the seller because the bidding hadn't got anywhere near the price he wanted towards the end of the auction and he wasn't about to let it go for bugger-all'. [/quote] That's the trouble with starting an auction with a high start price. It hides any gauge of how enthusiastic the bidding could be. For all he knows it could have jumped £150 in the last minute or two.

Funnily enough. I gained a Midget last weekend. I've not gigged it but they sound well together to my noob ears. The midget, while it's the bigger of the 2, gives a punchier, more treble sound.

Gone now!

Thanks for posting Andy. You clearly have this down to a fine art. It's always good to watch again.

Any ideas how I can get the paint stripped neatly around it? [/quote] I recon you've done about the best that's possible. Either heat or Nitromores would run the risk of you losing those. But I have been known to be wrong.

Certainly a hot glue would be great if you have access to some. I was assuming you don't.
