Still here, still for sale. Little Mark II heads seem to sell for £400, so for only £550 you get the combo. Must be a decent deal? Frank.

This is a fantastic price. Even if you allow say £250 to have a U-retro preamp fitted, it's still a snip. I have one of these and it's easily the best bass I own and have ever owned. Buy it. Frank.

Kyron, here's a link. [url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=3&vedi=41"]http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua...t=3&vedi=41[/url] It's the tweeter model. Musicman20, I can't take pics at the moment. My daughter borrowed my camera for a wedding. I can tell you that the condition is as-new though. No scuffs, no scrapes at all. I'll post pics later if you're still interested. Andy. If it doesn't sell, that's exactly what I'll do. I have a sheet of aluminium to make a cover too. Hagguy. Thanks for the offer. See your PMs. I'm asking £550 + shipping at cost. New cost at the time of purchase was £790 IIRC so that's a saving of £240 and it's hardly used. I had a little local interest but it's gone cold so shipping is possible. It will be packed to my usual high standard. Thanks for the interest everyone. Frank.

Gareth, PM sent. Frank

I would consider trades for a small, powerful amp head. I will also sell and reduce the price to £550 + postage cost. This is in as-new condition, very loud and has a tone which I love. PM me if interested. Thanks. Frank.

Back from weekend away in the campervan bump. Open to offers. Postage is possible and it will be very well packaged for this. Frank.

Bump. Now also for sale. I still prefer a trade though..... see first post. I'm away until Tuesday so I can't reply until then. Frank

Just a bump to lift this from page 3. No love for the Markbass? Frank.

[quote name='Rowbee' post='933467' date='Aug 23 2010, 11:17 AM']Thanks Frank, that's far more eloquently than I could have put it. Btw, a few people have messaged me asking if I'd consider selling it. I was really looking for a straighforward swap, but I expect that most people who own Midgets have them for a specific purpose and aren't looking to offload them. If I [i]was[/i] to sell it, I would want back what I paid for it as it hasn't done a lot since I bought it from Bassculture. I can't remember the exact figure and would need to look into this, but that was also on the basis of collection, and the only reason I would be selling it would be to help fund the purchase of a Midget.[/quote] It makes good sense to have both a Compact and a Midget. By mixing and matching you effectively have three rigs. Don't underestimate the capabilities of the Midget as a cab to use on its own. It's loud in a different way to the Compact. More aggresive sounding but not unpleasant and you can dial in lots of bass if you want to. I've used it for a pub gig on its own and a few people were amazed at the sound and depth coming from such a small box And over the last two weekends I've used both cabs stacked and it's just so capable and one of the gigs was in a huge hall with a high ceiling which was no problem to fill with powerful deep bass. Money well spent. I think I'll have this rig for a very long time because I can't think of any other cabs that would perform better for me. Frank

I'll chip in here. The Compact and Midget together sounds massive. Either cab on its own is fekin loud but together, the sound is what I would describe as BIG. Even at low volumes, it sounds really full, deep and powerful. Crank up the volume and you could knock walls down Honestly though, for most pub gigs, the Compact is more than enough. Frank

Since the arrival of my Barefaced Midget cab I find I'm using my Compact and/or Midget for gigs and the Midget for rehearsals so the MB combo is unused. It's in 100% as-new condition. It's had little use and has never been pushed hard. Comes with the original manual but stupidly, I've disposed of the original box. It would be well packed for shipping though. Bought new by myself and it's been treated and cared for like a baby. I'd like to trade for a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0. (Long shot I know - not interested on shuttle 3.0 or 6.0) Would also trade for a Barefaced Midget with a little cash my way. I know this is a long shot but there just might be someone with an unused head who would find a tiny and very loud combo more useful? It's very easy to carry too if you use the bus or train and can handle small to medium pub gigs surprisingly well. EDIT. I haven't had any trade offers for any of the above amps so I will also sell if anyone's interested. I'm asking for £595 ***(NOW £550)***(Now £525) ono + postage because of the condition and lack of use. This is a last resort. I still prefer a trade because after what I paid for this wonderful piece of kit, I'm dropping a lot of cash and it's barely been used. Such is life. Thanks. Frank

I've bought one recently and I'm amazed at how good they sound. The neck feels much faster than it should given the dimensions. I am really surprised at how much I like this bass. Up until two or three years ago I wouldn't have had a Fender of any description, especially a Precision. Never say never? Frank.
