PM'd

oops sorry !! - but if the light now comes on - you must be heading in the right direction? have you taken the control back plate of to see if any of the wires have become detached? - 'carefully' of course! Don't worry about the battery cover - they are a well known weak spot on the active Jack basses & more are broken - than intact. If you can't see any loose contacts - a good squirt with switch cleaner in both cavities has worked wonders for me in the past. Good luck with the sale - if of course it hasn't sold yet, as at that price - it should have gone days ago!!!! - come on Guys I'd have had this myself if I didn't already own one!!!!! ps - a coupe of years ago I asked several guitar bulders for a quote for a lightweight, headless, thru neck bass, the average quote was around £1600 - albeit with more exotic woods, hardware & electronics etc & although I'm sure they would be superior in every respect to the Hohner - that was way out of my price bracket!!!

Having owned several Hohner Jack basses - & still own an original passive one - which is fab !! I can not praise these workhorses highly enough!! However, having also owned several Status basses & now being lucky enough to own a Washburn Status S1000 - in my very humble opinion, apart from them both being headless & both having through necks - in every other respect they are like chalk & cheese - i.e. Status pickups, Status active circuitry & the Status phenolic(?) fingerboard alone justify the extra cost of the S1000, plus being a 'low action' freak - I thought I'd got the action on my Hohner as low as I thought was possible on any bass - but I've managed to get the action on the S1000 'even lower'!! However, please forgive my ramblings - this Hohner Jack is an absolute bargain at this price - so don't hesitate - just get it bought, you will not be disappointed & even if you were, you will always get your money back!! Good luck with the sale, but I'm sure you need it - type burmp !! ps - try rubbing the battery compartment copper contacts with a bit of emery cloth - worked on one of mine where the active circuity wasn't working!! pps - I think this finish was very popular a couple of years ago due to the Guy out of Muse using one before he started using Status basses & friend of a friend sold his for £325 on that t'bay!!!

Thanks Chrismuzz - I've owned a couple of F1's, LMK's LM2's & LM3's in the past & they were all great amps with obviously more power, but I don't rememember any of them being earth shakingly louder than this,

A truly wonderful piece of kit - I've been playing for 40 + years - albeit very badly - and really can't imagine anyone needing anymore volume than this beauty kicks out? According to the man himself the 250 produces almost as much voliume through one 4 ohm, or two 8ohm cabs as the 500 model produces into 8 ohms! In fact if you think you need more volume than this - then you need to DI into the PA. as I can't get the Master volume past half way - without it starting to hurt me old lug holes !! According to a very knowledgeable chappy - on the loudness scale the difference between 250w & 500w is ......... one decibel! - which apparently equates to a very small doormouse passing wind in the field next to the one you are standing in !! - i.e. so going on the fact that say a 200w amp is not twice as loud as a 100w amp (apparently you would need a 1000w to be twice as loud), then trust me - this will give you all the stage power you will probably ever need. Only 8 months old & is the newer model with pre/post EQ DI output with level control, so the PA Guys will love you to bits. I've owned several Markbass amps over the past few years & I'm wondering if they are fitting a new, super dooper fan on the new models - as this seems run much quieter than any of the older ones I've had - so the Guys in the Studio will love you too - Boomshanka !! Will be posted out to you free of charge in the original Markbass Box !! In really good condition & in perfect working order Pics to follow - when I can work my new camera - sorry, I'm very old !! **SOLD** [attachment=128334:Markbass 250 etc 002.JPG] [attachment=128335:Markbass 250 etc 003.JPG [attachment=128336:Markbass 250 etc 004.JPG] [attachment=128337:Markbass 250 etc 005.JPG]

Would love the red CV !! - a heads up if you are using Parcelfarce - the Post Office peeps will sell you enhanced compensation - but if anything happens to the bass - they won't pay a penny over the basic, included insurance of £100, or so I've been told???? off to check the Piggy Bank

Price??

Read the Bass Guitar Mag review - just sold mine (due to not gigging) & the buyer plays in a loud Stones tribute band, driving a 1 x15 & a 4 x10 & it more than copes - honest injun !! Great amp with unbelievable features & don't even start me on how good the Toneprint feature is - it's faaaaaaaaaaab !!

Unable to upload pics at present peeps?? - please PM me with your email address and I can send you some, hopefully - thanks

Sold to the local Yoda of fatwiring - so they must be good!!
