I have this bass and let me tell you….. it’s a lot of bang for buck. Incredible bass!!  

Going for £680 now!
 

Great amp, this is the v2 with the dual DI and impulse response built in. 
it’s really a fantastic amp and I can’t complain about it at all, I’ve stopped playing now hence the reason for sale. It’s very Versatile and man it can pump some volume! 
 

I can ship (at buyers expense) and it will only be shipped with Royal Mail as these are the most reliable and also it will be signed for too. 
 

local collection can happen too and also I can meet (if you’re travelling a distance 30 minutes from my location) I’m 6 minutes away from an m6 junction too so I’m pretty easy to get too. 
 

comes with original box, intelligent footswitch too. 
 

I’ve used it about 10 times. Twice live the rest at home and from then it’s been sat in the box all tucked away and warm. 
 

PayPal, bank transfer or cash 

Are you just selling this or would you be interested in downsizing trade? I have barefaced 2x12” and want 10’s again 

Barefaced 2x12” user here. Got a hankering for a 4x10” mines the one without the tweeter though. Got the official padded cover with mine too. 

Will the la bella not fit a precision bass then? 

Have you still got this?

Mine is the one and only JAE John Entwistle. 

This guy is the reason for bass being played and sounding like it is today, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't probably have the roundwound sound. Working along with James Howe to create that brightness incredible. All you have to do is listen to one of the most talked about bass sounds ever, live at leeds!! 

That bright chugging he gets from using a plectrum and you know he's using it, to that powerful driving low end and of course the trademark roto growl. He was a genius and as said before he did for bass what Jimi Hendrix did for guitar. 

RIP Ox, Gone but never forgotten. 

have you still got this for sale?

Bump de bump

Reduced Price, Needs to be gone. Arguments with the missus

No trades sorry

Selling My beloved Cort Rithimic,

It's taken a while for me to have the balls to sell this bass, it's somehow got a hold on me but I don't play it anymore.

It was one of the 12 basses that actually went to the london bass guitar show when they got first released, it should have been there but a guy I know who knows a guy pulled some strings and got it for me before it went there and he also handpicked the nicest looking one for me.

it really is a fantastic bass the pickups are great the neck is slim and fast and also its very light so not so hard on the shoulder, hipshot ultra light tuners and the famous babicz bass bridge. no buckle rash on the back of the bass because I never play my basses that low and also no nicks or gashes anywhere by far my best kept bass.

I've given it a quick tweek and theres a slightly high fret on it and would benifit from a professional set up, it has a set of fresh rotosound nickle strings on and theres nothing more I can say apart from watch youtube videos and visit the cort website to find out more details on it.
I can also send more photos upon request
it has wear on the bridge but thats just from playing the bass, I'm more of a precision bass fan myself and this is going to fund another P bass.

Markbass Jeff Berlin Combo,

reduced price, needs to be gone.

Selling because I hardly use this amp anymore, in all fairness I wasn't comfy with it at all. I had what is known as the greatest bass amp company in the world behind me and I still couldn't get along with it.

it's 300 watts on its own but put an enxtension cab on there and it goes to 500w, its the made in Italy version with the B&C speaker which they don't use now I believe.

No tweeter just pure classic bass sound without any of the artificial frequencies, DI out etc etc...

It has a cover with it which is nothing fancy I used my mothers sweing machine and made it myself, comes with the markstand wedge and also the bass keeper too and for shits and giggles I'll even throw in my Markbass Lanyard.

It's done a few gigs has a bit of wear on the sign but nothing major it has been by far my best kept amp.

I would post it but once its gone with the courier it is no longer my responsability but I would prefer collection so I know its safe.

I'm based in stoke on trent and also a 5 minute drive from the M6

Riccardo Damiani who work's for Markbass has just posted a reply back on the facebook thread.

Here's what he's said :

[color=#333333] [/color][color=#333333]Hi Markbass fans, here [url="http://www.facebook.com/marco.devirgiliis"]Marco[/url] explains our way to work and our philosophy.

There are few things, which need to be discussed before we explain the reason why we decided to start manufacturing some of our Markbass products in Indonesia:

1. The economical crises, which Europe has been straggling with for the last five years, brought about a very different scenario for all small/medium size companies, especially in Italy, where manufacturing has become very expensive.

2. Many suppliers have closed down their businesses or they are no longer in the position to support their clients due to a lack of cash flow, putting monthly productions as well as delivery times at risk.

3. The supply time for all single components went from few weeks to several months, due the fact that the manufacturers (mainly of electronic components) have been focusing their attention primarily on Asian, American and European markets in general, leaving the Italian market at the very end.
Lots of suppliers dramatically reduced their presence inside the Italian market, forcing their clients to place orders sometimes 8 months ahead of time!!!

4. Raw materials like wood have become more and more expensive, and inside a niche market like the Musical Instruments Market, we couldn’t any longer compete with other manufacturers.

5. Almost entirely, manufacturers are now manufacturing in Asia.

6. Markbass never increased its price list since 2001. Offering the best products at fair prices is part of our core strategy.

7. Our product quality has been a stable datum and it hasn’t been compromised.

8. We didn’t want to lay off any of our workers.

Markbass brings INNOVATION to the Asian manufacturing system.

After taking under consideration all of the above, two years ago we started a cooperation with a well-known Indonesian company. We already had some sort of relationship with them because of our distribution in that part of the world, and we also knew them well because of their partnership with other companies very close to us.

At the beginning of these two years we started manufacturing only few components of our products. Once we were really sure of the product quality, we increased our production to all parts.
Our engineers and product specialists have been monitoring the manufacturing process since the very beginning, and they are always present during the assembling of all our products.

Our products are the same products as before: their quality hasn’t changed. We insisted that we kept using only components in line with our strategy and technical specifications.

We brought over our quality control/testing system, built a specialized unit and trained the workers one by one.
Our engineers have now daily exchanges of communication with the Indonesian technicians.

THE BIG NEWS: a cost for everyone else, an added value for Markbass.

Since the very beginning we decided to inspect all the products manufactured in Asia once they arrive in Italy. Despite the big cost of this operation, we felt it was a very important step to guarantee the quality of our products. No other companies do a secondary inspection of their products once in Italy!!!
Markbass not only opens and inspects every single product received from Indonesia. We also test every single one like it was manufactured in Italy. Our technicians do the testing, and we say with pride that they are the most reliable technicians in the world, with a knowledge that comes from passion and a lot of experience.

FINAL RESULT

Markbass has increased its quality. Not only did the Asian production evolve and become more and more specialized with the contribution of our technicians, we also noticed another significant increase in the overall quality of our products due to our “double testing system”. Each and every one of our products, which comes from Indonesia, is re-tested in Italy and labeled: Tested in Italy. Every product is tested 100% twice!

All the components stayed the same: from the speakers to the condensers, which we choose and test one by one; as well as from the transformers to all the other components.

When we started to manufacture in Asia we came to know that a lot of our competitors products were less expensive, not only because the labor was less expensive, the quality of their components were also cheaper and of a less quality.

With our Asian production, we were able to increase the quality of our products. We spent time and money explaining to our Indonesian partners that we didn’t want a cheaper product; we wanted to guarantee that our know-how and knowledge would stay the same and possibly become better.

Nobody at Markbass has been laid off. On the contrary: our staff has been increased with a couple of young engineers that now work with us full time!!! The human factor is very important to us and it will always come first!

CONCLUSIONS

It is no longer possible for us to label “made in Italy” on some of our products. But we guarantee you that our production system is UNIQUE and, statistics at hand, our quality is even better than before. I challenge anybody to find any difference between the two productions, starting from the felt we use… Our Indonesian partner told us that nobody uses that quality of felt!!!

Any difference that might exist between the two productions is due to internal decisions taken not because the products were going to be manufactured in Asia, but for technical reasons and for the improvement of the quality itself.

This needs to be stated one more time: no other company re-opens and re-checks their products manufactured in Asia!
At Markbass, every products delivered to the final customer, has been prior inspected by a specialized Markbass operator.

We continue to take responsibly in delivering to our customers only quality products, fully and utterly checked in Italy.
Thanks to our methods and our philosophy we are able to keep growing, keep sustaining our R&D in all the MarkWorld technology fields.
We have a state of the art laboratory able to keep the same price-quality standard we always had.

We say it loud: “re-tested in Italy”!!![/color]

Hey guys,

I'm now eager to try out playing double bass, I've always wanted one and I think now is the time. I'm after something cheap and good for a beginner. Can anyone recommend any double bass for me, I'm starting to save up for one now.

I can't thank you enough for your replies guys it all helps me as an individual a lot more and feedback is what I need, I've never done this kind of thing before and decided it is time to do it.. I didn't use a pick I'm strictly a finger style guy and there is compression on it too to kind of calm down my heavy hitting on the strings lol (bad technique I know) on the chorus section I put some distortion on the bass to try and cut through a bit more but didn't get the right frequencies for it, I have a few gigs coming up with professional sound engineers so I may ask them what they do live, it may help during studio mixes too and I'm glad you actually like the track too !!!
Thank you again

Awesome idea !! here's my account !!
