Anybody here using the MB Marcus Miller heads? They seem quite a reasonable price and I'm wondering how the Old School and Millerizer effects work for us mortals who are not MM himself. 

Got one for sale on this very site!

Just putting feelers out really. I'm moving to IEMs and Helix so this is just sitting here.

The Amp is in perfect working order. Rackmounted with a Kork PitchBlack rack tuner. The cab has a RoqSolid custom made cover.

Picture to follow.

If this is still here on Thursday it will be mine...

If it wasn't for the fact that import duties would probably bankrupt me I'd be all over this like a rash.

This is a delightful looking thing. GLWTS

I had one of these, but just the passive version.

Missed it so much I had a Limelight built to impersonate it!

GLWTS!

It depends on what you're doing I think.

With my function band I always use in ears with no amp. We provide our own PA with subwoofers so I know that it can handle the low end and we recall a show on our digital desk and bring a decent sound tech with us so I know the sound will be consistent for both myself and the audience. For this to work though you have to have at least one person in the band who understands the tech side of things, or have a sound tech you always use and can ask for advice.

For the Balkan Klezmer / Afrobeat thing I play in we don't bring a tech and are at the mercy of the venue in terms of PA and backline. Most of the venues we play in have a decent PA and sound tech and will take a DI from the bass so I can be confident that the house sound will be good. Out of those venues most provide a backline (but not all). If I'm able to confirm there is a backline provided I'll usually leave my amp at home, if not I'll bring it for stage monitoring. On the odd occasion that we play a venue without a PA suitable for bass my amp will also provide the audience sound. Usually this is in smaller venues though and we don't play super loud so a big amp isn't needed.

If you're playing on the pub scene and don't provide your own PA you'll almost certainly be taking an amp to every gig.

I need to know more about your klezmer band!

It’s only ever me and my zoom b2.1u into PA. 

”that sounded f ucking awesome” said a Very cute redhead girl. Ampeg svt model plus a precision with nice pickups. 
 

I wouldn’t do anything else 

Burns night this year, end of a gig at a Jazz club in Edinburgh. Straight into the PA using the house DI. 

Very cute German exchange student. 

Seemed to be very impressed too. 

flip it I'm sold.

I think I’m in a transition period. I find myself either using my Radial preamp into a desk with a FRFR monitor or IEM, in most venues. The only time I love a big old amp is the festivals or big stage where you need to feel the air. Most other venues I just don’t need one. 

The festivals I play nomally have their own backline if on-stage presence is needed. I'm really torn tbh. 

General.

I think?  More about the idea of amps and cabs, rather than any particular ones.

I play medium sized venues, and my MarkBass Marcus 800 and cab is overkill really. Also, I am wearing in-ears more and more. 

If I were to just go effects and DI into the desk and not move any air on stage at all, is that going to cause me problems do you think? I'm really interested in what you guys think.

Two new tracks. I'm trying to record something every day. These were recorded into Pro Tools via a Focusrite interface and my Markbass Little Marcus 800. 

Hey,

here is the video for my band's new single. Had to record it all separately due to the lockdown.

Hope you like it!

We had to record all of our video bits separately. Took a bloody age to edit. The audio was all recorded in one take, bar the Timbales.

Thanks! Fixed the link. 

Was really bored earlier. I set myself a challenge. Record this from scratch in 4 hours. I just made it I think. 

Listen to Street Fighter Mas by D6Bass on #SoundCloud

This still available? 

Cool. I wouldn’t expect it would cost more than 7.50

I can. Whereabouts are you? 

The lads at Alpher are sound as well.

Hey, smooth jazz fans...

D6Bass - Clear

Holy cow that's a glorious looking thing. 

I love this song. Took about 2.5 hours in Garageband on my ipad pro.

Fly Like An Eagle

Good condition.

I drive around the NW a lit so can drop off.

All good advice. I've got my muting down on the 4. Thumb up and down like a good 'un. I don't think I'd ever use the bottom range, but the extra flexibility higher up the neck will come in really useful I think.
