I had an Little Mark 2. Sounded great and was loud. It fell off the cab and shortly after the power supply packed up. MB repaired it under warranty and it was good as gold again. Only sold it when I moved over to Phil Jones gear. If I had to buy a new rig, they’d certainly be in the mix. Some very high profile names are endorsers and have signature models. Whilst there is always some doubt about the value signature models in music, due to the potential of money swaying the named player’s endorsement, bass players are a pretty niche bunch, when compared to our guitar playing brethren and I don’t think these endorsers would tout or put their name on, or use gear they weren’t really happy with. Perhaps I’m naïve.
