    Markbass CMD 121P - DI out problem?

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    The DI on my CMD121P became unreliable a couple of years ago. Would be working fine one day then inexplicably drop out mid-gig the next. 
    Investigated trying to get it fixed but most amp repairers won’t touch Markbass gear. Didn’t particularly fancy the faff of sending it up to the authorised repair place up in Sheffield so I just avoid the DI now and use a separate box at gigs; the amp has been brilliant apart from that and it’s probably done hundreds of shows with me by now so willing to put up with the slight inconvenience of the dodgy DI. 
    If I do find myself playing up In Sheffield though I will drop by Real Electronics and see what they can do. Sounds like it’s not an uncommon issue…

    I’ve use various cables over the years and honestly I couldn’t tell a difference in sound. How long they last however is a very different story. As other people have said those Planet Waves cables never last long. The best ones I’ve found for me are Klotz; had the same few jack cables for years and they never go wrong 👍

    Love the size of these beauties, perfect for playing whilst sat on the sofa 😀

    I was literally doing just that. My JMJ bought from here arrived at lunchtime today. Such a lovely instrument. 
    Enjoy your new bass @Folkesy

    Bought a JMJ Mustang from Nick this week and super chuffed with it. Nick was really helpful and the bass was very well packed and delivery bang on time. Great bass and a lovely chap 👌

    Pjb double 4 or Markbass micro bass 801

    Hi there. 
    I tried out a bunch of small amps for a little home practice amp including both the ones you mentioned and went for a Micromark 801 from Wunjo’s. I found the PJB a bit flat and lifeless-sounding compared to the Markbass which had a lovely open and natural tone. 
    Have since used it on a few little upright bass jazz gigs when I’ve had to go on the tube too and it’s great. 
    Love it with my p-bass; I’d definitely recommend one 👍

    +1 for the EBS Multicomp. I tried a stack of compressors before I picked this one. Use it mainly for evening out pick playing, especially when palm-muting. Sounds fat and lovely 👌

    Putting a new neck on a Warwick

    in Bass Guitars

    Definitely worth talking to a luthier about changing the neck profile. Martin Peterson at the Gallery would be my first port of call. Also sometimes the Warwick bolt-on necks have overly thick fingerboards. Martin took a lot off the fingerboard of my old FNA Jazzman and regretted it with slimmer frets and suddenly the beck felt amazing. And was less bowed...

    It's a lovely bass. Just doesn't really suit the kind of work I do these days. Plus I have my Infinity 5 string will will never leave me!!

    I've got one of these. It sings beautifully. The clarity of the notes is better than any other bass I've had.

    If I'd lost mine, this would be gone!
