For sale is my Markbass LMK, plenty has been said about how good these amps are and all of it is true. This one has seen home studio use only so is in perfect condition, the reason I used one of these and not an LMII is that you can get some very different and usable sounds by blending the channels which is a distinct advantage over the LMII as well as the obvious two channel thing. Also included is the all important Markbass footswitch. Not only does it switch/blend channels but it also acts as a mute button which was the big complaint on the LMII, i.e. it hasn't got one. They are also difficult to find and take an age to arrive. I'm looking for £475 ono including the footswitch. I may be able to deliver it for free as I travel around the UK regularly, alternatively we can work out P&P. Paypal is fine, I'll cover the fee if the price is right. I'm keen to sell as the replacement is on it's way. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. [attachment=39072:100_0201.jpg]

This is a brilliant bass and I really don't want to sell it but an Epifani purchase means it has to go. It's a 1996 (12th of November to be exact) model and is in tip top condition, plays superbly and is everything a Stingray should be. It comes with a MusicMan case, straplocks and all the bits and bobs you would expect. I got it from Rumple (top bloke to deal with) in July this year and have not really played it as I'm a six string guy and can't really get used to playing a fiver. I'm looking for offers around the £750 mark but it does have to go so don't be shy......Mrs Geester has said 'Make it so' and so I'm open to offers..(not for Mrs Geester obviously....although...) I've borrowed Rumple's pix so I hope he doesn't mind. Another cool thing about this bass is the serial number which is 57777. That means it's Stingray 5 number 7777, if you're lucky number is 7 then this is the bass for you.

I'm looking to sell my Bergantino AE410, it's a brilliant cab and I'd love to keep it but I've been able to get hold of a set of Epifani cabs at a knockdown price so Mrs Geester has decreed it must go unfortunately. It comes with the Bergantino cover and is in superb condition, I'll post pix up a bit later but www.bassdirect.co.uk has all the details. I'm looking for offers around £850 and I'm happy to deliver/meet-up within a reasonable distance for free... Cheers Mike G.

Appreciate the feedback and thanks for the advice. The SWR MM pre has a 'built-in' compressor so it's not really in the effects loop, it's in the signal path before the eq section. This means the compressor doesn't see the hum from the effects loop since the effects loop is after the eg section. I can see the theory behind not having 9v pedals in the effects loop but I can't understand (and neither can SWR) why everything works fine with my Eden WT800, GB750, Aguilar DB750 and Markbass SD800. It does also rather defeat the object of having an effects loop and a 'wet/dry' blend feature. I have also tried it with my rack mounted mains powered Line6 X3 in the effects loop and the problem is still there. I guess folks are thinking that it must be a classic 'humming pedal' problem which is exactly what Fender/SWR thought till I physically showed them the issue. Believe me, I tried everything and it is most definitely a fault with the pre-amp. The MD of Fender UK&I is now involved and still no resolution. It looks more and more like a design fault.

There's definitely some kind of problem. I had an electrical engineer check it out and he reckoned there was an issue with the design of the pre-amp, it may be an issue with the 115/230v migration or just the fact that the effects loop is incorrectly wired. As for putting the effects before the pre-amp, for me it defeats the object of having the pre-amp. I wanted the compressor in the chain first and then use the 'Wet/Dry' mix facility to give just a hint of effect (like chorus/phaser/distortion) mixed with the dry sound. If you are thinking about buying one of these I would definitely check out your effects on the loop first. One interesting thing is that I talked with an SWR endorsee in the US and he mentioned that SWR have seen this problem before on the SWR900 amp, maybe they've used a similar design and the problem has re-occured. Another key point is that Fender/SWR UK have been fairly useless at sorting this out. They didn't believe me at first, I had to physically show them the problem and even then they have not got a clue how to solve it. They also are unwilling to give me my money back or even offer an exchange for another product. Just thought I better let everyone know.

I bought an SWR Marcus Miller pre-amp a few weeks ago and, while the tone is great, it has a particular problem and I wondered if anyone else has experienced the same issue. Basically, when any mains powered (9v adapter style) or battery powered effects are plugged into the effects loop it makes a dreadful hum. I've had my effects board checked out and there are no problems there, I have several other amps and it works with them no problem. I went through every possible configuration to make sure it wasn't a cable or connection of any kind. The unit has been sent back to SWR/Fender and they don't appear to be able to fix the problem but they now know it exists. Has anyone else seen this issue? Cheers Mike G.

Up for sale is my almost new Diago Showman Pedal board. As I'm sure everyone's aware, these are excellent pieces of kit. I bought it for a particular pedal configuration that didn't work out so I've gone back to my old board. All the details are here...http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-boards/pedal-boards/overview.html Here are some pix...please do drop me a PM if you have any questions...I'm near Cambridge by the way. Cheers Mike G.

Okey dokey, I've had a response from the man himself. Superb customer service as I only emailed Epifani 10 minutes ago .....here's what he said... The earlier version was fitted with a B&C neo speaker the version 2 with Epifani design Eminence neo speaker. Improved low and hi mid response Regards, Nick Epifani President Epifani Custom Sound Systems Inc. 68-34th Street, 2nd Floor Brooklyn, NY 11232 email: [email protected] web: www.epifani.com So I guess the Series 2 is better than the Series 1....
-
I'm guessing the Series 2 is an upgraded version based on feedback from end users....I've asked Epifani and will post the answer when I get it...

Up for sale is my Epifani UL112 Series 2, reason for the sale is I've never used it outside the house so it's in fantastic condition. These cabs are brilliant and I'd thoroughly recommend them, according to many folks they are the best 12" bass cab out there with superb response right across the tonal spectrum. I'm looking for £300 plus postage which shouldn't be too much by Interparcel. I'm happy with paypal but I'm having to ask that the 4% fees are covered in your payment as paypal is becoming quite expensive now. I'm happy to meet up somewhere in the middle if it's not too far... for free of course... Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask...I live near Cambridge by the way if you want to come over and try it out.... Cheers Mike G.

Josh is right, it's not the greatest at the low end but it's easy enough to tune on the 5/7/12th frets either using fretted notes or harmonics. I've never had a problem with it and the rack light is enormously useful....and very impressive on-stage...even made me look like I knew what I was doing....

Up for sale is my Behringer BTR2000 rack tuner. It's not been used really as it was an impulse purchase so looking to move it on. Can post up some pix if you want but I think everyone knows what these are like.... Looking for £40 plus delivery....happy to take paypal.. Cheers Mike G.
