Hi Just wondered if anyone has powered a Zoom B6 from a stand alone power supply  like a Mission Engineering 529i 

Thanks 

Sting  ( message in a bottle ) started it off 

HI 

I have a Boss ME50 B  and am thinking about trying a Boss GT1 B   can you use all three buttons to swap through patches  like you can on the ME50 B  as this gives me three sounds per song without having to scroll up or down   ( if this makes sense ) 

Regards Dave 

Hi 

Is the bass still for sale please 

I live in Nottingham

Hi 

Had the same issue (kind of) with my Markbass...  power module went faulty after 3 years   6 months out of warranty and £200 to sort it 

Dave 

Hi 

So the saga continues 

So the amp had to be returned as there was an intermittent issue when switched on .... sometimes it was normal ... other times it was so loud it made you jump and the speakers visibly "jumped" 

So contacted Real Electronics who said to return it and they would look at it and this was done at their cost. Turns out the amp module that was put in was faulty so they replaced it and sent it back ... again at their cost. It arrived today .... same problem so again contacted Real Electronics who said this time they need the whole combo as it may be a driver at fault and this can take out the amp module 

So although very frustrating I have to say Real Electronics have been very supportive to the problems

Hi 

Maybe a good idea to buy a used one in the future  maybe .The amp power module was faulty so a new one from Markbass has been put in. So should last a while .... I hope 

In defence of Markbass they were very helpful when I contacted them. The amp was 6 months out of warranty so I accepted it wouldn't be repaired FOC 

I love the tone so happy to give Markbass another go 

Thanks Dave 

So 

Hi 

So just an update here 

Been playing with the combo for a bit ... issue still the same so not gotten any worse just frustrating 

Anyway sent it to Real Electronics and will cost just shy of £200  to fix .... so said do it .... really love the combo and £200 won't get another one .... not sure what the issue is/ was but have asked so hope it will be mentioned in the receipt when I get it back 

Dave 

Hi 

So just a quick update 

The amp seems to take 10mins to warm up to normal volume before this is is down on normal volume not touching any dials on bass or amp and when it comes it I have to back off the master to half the starting volume .... so jumping the send/return path only worked for a bit 

Anyway think it may have to go to Real Electronics for them to inspect 

Regards Dave 

Thanks for the replies

So at this time I have the FX loop connected with a lead and going to use it like this and see what happens 

A service is on the cards ...for peace of mind 

Regards Dave

So 

Tried the FX loop trick .... oh yes that worked 🙌

So contacted Markbass in Italy who have been very supportive it must be said .. and they are at a loss to why this happens and they say connecting the send and return inputs with a Jack will not harm the amp 

Issue now is although it works ( replacement return socket put in amp by local amp tech) if you put a Jack from send to return direct the amp volume is louder than when the cable is removed 

Intend to get the amp serviced at Markbass service centre in Sheffield 

Does this make ant sense ? 

Hi 

Yes at just below clipping volume 

Regards Dave 

Hi 

So I have a mark bass CMD 102p  which uses a little mark 3 head 

The issue I have is that the volume is really low now. I usually have it on approx 2 on the master and this is gigging volume ... I have another 2x10  ext cab 

So at the last gig I had to turn the master volume up to almost max to get the usual volume .... any ideas ... It has been faultless for the last three and a half years and has been pampered 

Any suggestions 

Dave 

Hi
