  1. Unexpected circumstances have forced me to sell my Markbass bass cab. It's 2 x 10" speakers (plus tweeter) make for a great sound. It's been gigged but not heavily and is in top condition, sound-wise and in appearance. It also comes with a heavy duty padded protector for it. I would also consider reasonable offers. I can deliver locally or within a mutually agreed distance.

     

    Tech details are as follows: Markbass Standard 102HF-8 Ohms, Bass Cabinet, 2 x 10" Neodym Custom made Speaker by B&C, 1" HF compression driver Tweeter, 400Watt/4Ohm, 40Hz - 20KHz, ultra light & compact Weight ca. 22,6kg, Bass-reflex at the front side, Size b x h x t ca.59,5cm x 55cm x 48cm

  2. Unforseen/unexpected personal circumstances have made me need to sell my loved Burns bass guitar. I've had it from new (2018) and totally love the neck on this bass. It's a long scale bass but suits my smallish hands real well. I also really enjoy the sound it produces from the Tri-Sonic pickups. With the 4 way selector knob a variety of sounds can be produced.  I believe it's strung with round wounds. No dings, marks or buckle rash (I don't wear belts), it's like brand new. It's a bit on the heavy side so I'm included the strap lock heavy duty strap. It naturally comes with a hard-shell case which itself has some bruises but has always protected the guitar well, and continues to do so. I have this advertised in a few places due to my circumstances. Asking £480 plus carriage. Note - the indoor photos show some image distortion due to the lens on my android. The outdoor photo is more how this bass is proportioned.

  3. Hi. Don't ya hate it when in the middle of placing an order online your computer detects an error and shuts down. Well so do I and that's how I ended up with 2 MarkBass Amp Gig bags. 

    I only need one so I have a brand new, still in sealed plastic and in original box MarkBass Amp Gig Bag. It's the one for the Little Mark II and III models, Little Marcus, etc. Also comes with 2 straps. Gimme a shout if you'd like it. £48 all in, meaning I'll pay postage within the UK.

  4. Bought a MarkBass Little Mark III bass amp (white edition) from James last week. What a beauty this amp is! It arrived very well packaged and quick. Great communication throughout the sale.  He even included 2 rack ears and the power lead at no extra cost...ace!!  It sounds awesome thru my 2 Mark bass cabs. Thanks again James

  5. In the 1970's (1974-82) there was only 1 amp I used. I don't remember the model number or whatever but was an Ampeg (the SVT hadn't come out yet), 100 watts and was a thing of beauty, looks and sound. I had it coupled with an Ampeg 2x 15 speaker cab, the one with the cut at the back to allow for the built in wheels to work, and the handle(bar) tat the top to flip it like a sack truck to move it about. '82 -'86 I used a Marshall bass head with 2, 4  x 12 cabs. Don't remember the wattage but it was seriously loud. I'd been growing up in Canada during these years. Late '86 I moved to the UK.

     

  6. I've got one of these. Bought it from a guy on this site at the start of the year. It instantly became my "go to" bass. Amazingly slim and fast neck (for my small hands), Gibson Humbucker pickups, Gotoh tuners, Babicz bridge and professionally set up. Sweet! I hope you enjoy yours as much :)

  7. Drove up to fellow BC member FinnDave to purchase/collect a bass he was selling. Had a great chat for an hour; he's a top bloke...and the bass, an Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Pro IV with Babicz bridge and Gotoh tuners...wow, what a bass. It's immediately become my prime gigging bass. Awesome feel, action, sound, looks...the total package. And the neck's almost 2 inches shorter than my Burns Bison, perfect for my short arms. Thanks BassChat for hooking us up.

  8. I play in a band called The Silhouettes and we're a covers band playing mostly the 60's tunes with some '70's, '80's and contemporary thrown in. We play about 45 or so weekends a year and I've yet to get any live footage. Here's some stills tho.   I've attached a couple of tunes that we recorded live in the studio (with a vocal overdub). There's more energy live tho, but still, it's what I/we play :)

  9. In 50 years of playing/gigging I've only needed a backup twice...eacvh this past summer. Turned out my amp had been dropped by the courier (unknown to me at the time) and the heat dissipating fan wasn't working. VERY hot July outdoor gig under cover thankfully but towards the end of the first set, it died.  Ended the set and turned it off. 20 min break and started second set...10 mins to go and it died again. Had to end the gig then and there as I had no back-up. Second time was a week later, cool evening gig, BUT this time I had my Marshall rack amp just in case...yup, 3 songs into the hour long set and my main amp died. Finished the gig on my Marshall. Sent the amp back to the shop for repairs as I'd only had it 6 weeks. Got it back and fingers crossed it's been fine since. Now I can feel the cooling air being blown thru it.  Will invest in a Markbass Little Mark III as a back up tho.

  10. I own 3. My first was a Hofner copy which is stored at my sister's place in Ontario. My next was a Gibson Ripper, which after 43 years of playing was retired last year. Now I have a Burns Bison,, totally love it even tho when holding it normally I cant quite reach the "G" string tuning key with my short arm(s), lol.
