Sold my yammy 2x10 cab on a rainy evening at Knutsford services!, a gent and a scholar! A++++

I recently bought a [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Markbass Mini CMD 121P, personally it's a perfect fit for me. I'm playing in a jazz quartet these days so masses of volume aren't really needed (although so far it's not gone past halfway!) I'll eventually buy a traveller cab to go with it for bigger gigs, but I love the sound and mainly the fact it weighs just 13kg! Bass in one hand, amp in other - in and out no bother, I can fit everything in the missus' micra! I used to have a Warwick 4x10 and an ampeg head of course it doesn't sound as good but the back breaking weight is NOT missed one bit. Filters on the Markbass gear are awesome, basically it's 2 'sound ace' switches. The only question is how ace do you want it to sound?!

Markbass Mini CMD does that. 15" version is WELL worth a whirl too.[/size][/font][/color]

I used to have a Digitech Synth Wah (sold recently on here). To be honest I found it a bit too 'no nonsense', I struggled to really find a practical use for it without completely taking over the overall mix of the band, seems like you need to spend some serious cash to get anything tameable! Then again, tameable might not be what you want! I'd say you're best off firstly thinking of what songs you're going to use the pedal on, then get a rough idea of what sound you're after then look for that. My main mistake buying the synth wah in the first place was plugging it in, and thinking wow this sounds reeeeeally cool, buying it, then never really finding a practical use for it.
