    Thanks Guys, Much appreciated! as I've just said to Dave on my 'other thread@ - it's just a bit worrying that the only other two Guys I know who own Markbass amps - an LMK & an SA450 have both just sent them away for repair - gulp !! All the best, Tim [quote name='davidmpires' post='868809' date='Jun 16 2010, 10:31 AM']Again contact them directly and see what they say.[/quote]

    Thanks Dave, It's just a bit 'worrying' when the only two other Guys I know who own Markbass amps - an LMK & an SA450 have just both sent them away to be fixed!! Ah well - they say bad luck comes in three's !! All the best, Tim

    Hi Guys, I was just asking for help - that's all - no 'witchhunt' intended! - I'm just a bit miffed as this is by far the most expensive amp I've ever bought & my prevous Acoustic, Ampeg, Aguilar, Trace Elliot, Orange, umpteen Marshall - Super Bass '&' Super Lead, Hiwatt, Sunn, Randell, Roland etc, etc amps that I've owned over the past 30+ years, never let me down once - not even my trusty old Selmer Treble & Bass (with the 18" Goliath Cab of course - ooo me back)! The reason the post is on twice is because I originally put it in the wrong section, so did it again in which I thought was the right one & where I thought I might get some help. Thanks anyway ! [quote name='dave_bass5' post='868888' date='Jun 16 2010, 11:53 AM']As already explained, i was making a joke of the fact that the poster started two threads about the ONE amp. Hence the ;-) at the end of the first line. And as ive also written i have two MB heads that i love and wouldnt dream of getting rid of them (although i think i might sell one soon as i dont use it much). Its all in this thread above ;-)[/quote]

    Hi Guys, Anyone had any problems with their Markbass amps?? Mine has only had 'ultralight use' - but even so 'died' last night! - no sound at all - apart from a 'frying' sound from the speakers? In 30 + years this is the only amp out of literally dozens from a Selmer Treble & Bass, Marshall Super Bass & even Super Lead, Hiwatt, Acoustic, Ampeg, Sunn, through to Roland. Trace Elliot etc, etc that has ever let me down! One of the main reasons I bought which is supposedly a 'high end' amp was 'reliability'?? The people Markbass put me onto 'guesstimate' that there won't be much change out of £200! - which will make this a very expensive amp, if I get it fixed & dare to trust it again!! Any suggestions? - all donations gratefully received - would love to know if anyone else has had the same problem & how they resolved it??

    Thanks Guys, It's out of warranty - does anyone know any good, reliable, Tech Guys near Sunny Stoke on Trent?? [quote name='Toasted' post='868184' date='Jun 15 2010, 05:20 PM']If you bought it new a year ago it will still be covered under warrenty.[/quote]

    Hi Guys, Anyone had many problems with Markbass amps?? After spending an amount equal to the National Debt of a small Country last year on an F1 - because I wanted a 'well built' & 'reliable' amp - it has stopped working?? - all I'm getting from it is a 'frying' sound coming through the speakers - anyone have any ideas?? After owning every type of amp from a Selmer 'Treble & Bass' via umpteen Marshalls, Hiwatt, Sunn, Acoustic, Ampeg & Trace Elliot etc, etc THIS is the ONLY amp that has ever let me down during the past 30+years!! & is not what I would expect from a so called High end amplifier that has only ever had ultralight use!! The guy at Proel - who Markbass - told me to contact reckons there won't be much change from £200 inc. postage to get it fixed!! All ideas & info gratefully received !! OOPS - SORRY, COULD YOU PLEASE MOVE TO REPAIRS & TECHNICAL ISSUES???

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='864138' date='Jun 11 2010, 10:49 AM']I'll vouch for the awesomeness of this bass. It lived with me for a few months while I came to the slow realisation that I need 5 strings and no frets. Buy with confidence, people. This is a lot of bass for not much money, and John's one of the nicest guys alive.[/quote]

    **Price drop to £75 - collected** Or swap for a small-ish 1 x 12, or 1 x 10, or WHY???

    Hi Guys, due to it being unlikely I'll be gigging again - here is my Hartke 1 x 15 150w 8ohm Bass Cab. This cab handles loads of power, has a very clean delivery & a warmth that some say is missing from the Aluminium cone Hartke cabs. Very light, small & as the name suggests very portable. Not much else to say really, it's just a very well made cab that would provide all the bottom end you'd ever need in a rig, as an extension cab for your combo or even as a stand alone cab. How about £85 ono collected? - I'm 5 minutes from J15 of the M6 - someone has to be !

Great musicianship, including a brass section to die for, unbelievable harmonies & the Fat Wire's no slouch for an old Dodderer Nearly Dan are a Professional Outfit with talent in abundance & if you ever get the chance to see them - GO! I promise you, you will not be disappointed! I think we are all aware that Dan stuff aint no 'three chord bashers' & these guys do a really good job, 'Mu majors' & all!! On Friday, the venue was very well attended - OK IT WAS FULL - you gotta get there VERY early if you want a seat - great sound + real ale & Pro Musicians = a bloody good night. Sorry to be so gushing about this band, but they are a real treat to watch & unfortunately don't play locally often enough - 'Local' venues please note - book this band & you will be full to capacity of very thirsty, appreciative music fans!! Looking forward to the next Gig & hope it's not going to be too far away! Not going to next Nearly Dan Gig??? - ''Only A Fool Would Say That'' !![/quote]

    Can't believe this hasn't gone yet??? [quote name='nottswarwick' post='800293' date='Apr 8 2010, 10:08 PM']These are top cabs, this is a proper bargain, roll up roll up![/quote]

    But 'half' would only be half as good! - Have a bump for a seriously 'full' top drawer piece of kit! [quote name='phsycoandy' post='799276' date='Apr 7 2010, 09:46 PM']Can I just have the bottom half?[/quote]

    THAT is a great Decal - thanks for the info - appreciated! [quote name='7string' post='799213' date='Apr 7 2010, 08:50 PM']If you're looking for a new decal try [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/plankspanker101/m.html"]Plankspanker on ebay[/url] I've got a bass which I'm re-finishing at the moment and I had this made for it. The bass is a biddy 3/4 size which my wife bought me for Valentine's Day. [/quote]

    Thanks Musky, You are a Star! All the best Tim [quote name='Musky' post='792719' date='Mar 31 2010, 11:31 PM']In a word - sandpaper. Assuming it's an unpainted headstock, take it back using a light grade sandpaper initially, then go to a very fine grade. Finally use T Cut to buff out. Then lacquer, apply new decal (if you want one) and re-lacquer. You might want to take a look at [url="http://www.reranch.com/basics.htm"]http://www.reranch.com/basics.htm[/url][/quote]

    Bump for an incredible Ray! - come on Guys - somebody snap this up, I've seen it up close & you will not be dissapointed! + I've not got the spare dosh & don't want to risk seeing Pete again until it's no longer there to tempt me! A really nice example of a timeless classic & then some! [quote name='Pete Academy' post='793742' date='Apr 1 2010, 09:20 PM']Will measure tomorrow, mate. [/quote]

    Hi Guys, Anyone know how to remove a decal from a headstock? Really love this Bass, but the decal is really naff! Thanks, Tim

    Bump for a really nice Bass - I saw this beauty last week & it is a seriously good example! + Pete really looks after his gear - somebody buy it quick - I'll be seeing him next week & 'her in doors' knows I definately don't own a blue coloured Bass - bugger ! Good luck with the sale Pete! [quote name='dave_bass5' post='775473' date='Mar 15 2010, 06:07 PM']Cool, thanks. Just put my sub up for sale so who knows.[/quote]

    Bump for an incredible Bass Cab! - I'm lucky enough to own two of these babies & they rock! Light, small, powerful & two stacked put out lows to die for & your amp runs at 4ohms - perfick! Good luck with the sale, if I had any spare cash - I buy it as a spare - they are 'that' good - honest! [quote name='gillento' post='775522' date='Mar 15 2010, 06:49 PM']There is no 4 ohm GS112 (with stock speaker)[/quote]

    Just bought a bass from Tomash & would like to say what a great Guy he is! The Bass was actually better than than I expected, It was packaged exceptionally well & arrived promptly as arranged. Communication was excellent & I would not hesitate in recommending him. Thanks again Tomash - it was a pleasure to deal with you. All the best, Dodgnofski

    I had the pleasure of playing this bass 'live' back in 1983 when Pete brought it to several gigs - it played like a dream & sounded like the dog's dangley bits! If I still had my early 70's Jazz - I'd be beating a path to your door Pete ! Have a bump for a truly outstanding instrument - unfortunately I only have a Hohner B2 & Steinberger Spirit - which are great basses, but if memory serves, they don't have the same 'growl' as this beauty does & then some!! All the best with the trade/sale Pete - if my numbers come up this week, I'll see you on Monday ! Tim. ps - forget about that '80's thang' guys - 'this bass' would hold it's own in any line up - mullets or not !! [quote name='lowregisterhead' post='762382' date='Mar 2 2010, 11:18 PM']It is a weird old market for these, because despite being genuinely great basses, some people are completely dismissive of the Steinberger, although you can be pretty certain none of them have ever even picked one up. I've had three XL2s and an L2 over the years, and I still have a very rare XL-5W 5-string - I've referred to them all as my 'Marmite' basses - people either love them, or really, really hate 'em! Post some pictures. You might be surprised at the level of interest. LRH[/quote]

    These amps really are the dogs thingies ! Good luck with the sale Jim & have a weekend bump! All the best, Tim [quote name='Floyd Pepper' post='758402' date='Feb 26 2010, 05:10 PM']Up for grabs is my trusty Markbass LMK 500W (@4 ohms) Amp Head. This has been my main amp head for the past two and a bit years and has served me well. For those not familiar, it has the great ability to switch between two channels or a mix of both which can be switched and muted via the optional footswitch (included). Full spec can be found here; [url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=1&vedi=68"]Markbass LMK Spec[/url] It also comes with a Markbass gig bag which I've always kept it in (even for gigs) as it opens at both sides (including velcro patches so that it sticks to your cabinet head). I'll even throw in the Markbass Bass Holder (not shown as I just remembered that after I'd taken the photos) which is a soft neck holder that attaches to the side of your cabinet. (very useful). Anyway, the LMK was originally purchased from The Gallery in 2008. Very slight marks to the top cover but nothing noticeable. £475 for the full package + postage. No trades thanks.
