I would suggest you might be better to contact Paul Herman at https://walbasses.co.uk/about-us/
He may wish to advise/comment on this request...

Found this on the internet - its on the bottom of PCB, easily accessible once you open the pedal up.
Brilliant thanks, I just found that article too!
Can I ask, what then happens when you hit the mute pedal once you have flipped the dip switch?

There is a small switch inside the casing that switches the tuner out to be either permanently on or switchable with the mute switch. Sounds like this could be your answer?
Have you a pic of its location please?

Is there a crèche for drummers?
😁
They need locking up safely, away from real musicians... well, thats my opinion having spent weekend before last working at the Drum show in Liverpool...

I should be there... I would have liked to bring my new, inbound Sandberg VM5 fretless which was ordered in April 2023, but just found out it wont land until April next year!!! 😫
I'm now working with two new brands, so, hold your breath, won't be bringing Markbass!! Shock horror....!!!
I now work with Caveman Audio and another bass brand which will hopefully be of interest, and a surprise on the day!
Caveman Preamps and Compressor are designed to work in a different way to most other conventional preamps, in that Steen, the danish designer, considers that his gear should be at the front and end of your signal chain.... Cracking gear, all analogue 1073 inspired with no compromise, up there with the likes of Noble...

A bit later still, but that 90 day Logic Pro trial can be extended indefinitely with a small one line script. It also re sets if you download a new version (even Apple mention the so its not a hack as such).
Yeah, it is a hack, and this is still IP theft, so, absolutely no. As BigRedX says, with all that comes with it, Logic really is good value... Pay for it like the rest of us. The Student bundle, which also includes Final Cut and Mainstage is just £199.99
On a more, perfectly legal note, I was running my 2012 iMac (32GB ram and upgraded to 2Tb SSD) in my home studio on Catalina, because it wouldn't let me update further as it wasn't "compatible" with newer OS. This meant that many of my plugins and functionality stopped working as everything else updated...
...until I discovered "Opencore Legacy Patcher" (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/). It's was pretty straightforward to patch (backup everything first - and the instructions are decent) and my 2012 iMac is now happily running Ventura (it could run Sonoma happily too, but I've no need for the latest OS), and all my functionality is completely up to date. The only Logic functionality which isn't working are the new AI tools (Session Players, Stem Splitter and ChromaGlow), which need an M processor, but hey, don't be lazy, write your own backing parts...! 🤪
Buy Logic and patch an older Mac and you'll be fine for a good while...

Am I reading some confusion here? The Glitter Band were not just Gary Glitter's band. They had hits in their own right, gigged on their own, were a fantastic bunch of guys and we had some bloody great times on the road when I was on the same tours with them in the mid 80s. I also did a number of gigs at that time with Gary on the bill. He was definitely strange, kept himself to himself, had his own dressing rooms, and it was obvious to people around him, even if they didn't know the extent of his paedophile proclivities. I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with him... thankfully I didn't have to.

The net really is just society in microcosm. Guy buys a budget bass and seems kinda ok with it until a light bulb goes on and he realizes he can pander to the herd better if he talks about how, yes, it’s dirt cheap, but if you think that’s a good idea for a beginner, you’re wrong…
Well that's one impressive "first post" on basschat! (not)

I would have liked to compared your B6 to my GX-100 too.
If anyone had asked I'd have brought mine...

I wonder if attitudes to it would be different if they had put it in a metal case.
I think plastic is a thing though, you know quite a few aeroplanes are made largely of plastic these days... Is that gonna stop you flying in one?
And has anyone experienced a B6 which cannot keep up with the rigours of gigging life? Just asking!

Blimey!
I have no idea what year this was, early 90s? Nothing on the internet.
Saw this show with a couple of mates - we were all Sweet fans as kids - it was just a truly harrowing freak show; Connolly got through it somehow, he was being heckled by a group of people. It was just awful.
Yeah, my time with Les was through the mid 80s, great bloke, and mostly he would do a blinder of a show, but sometimes the drink would get the better of him. We regularly gigged with The Sweet, The Glitter band (only a couple of times with Gary... those were rather strange ones...), Rubettes, etc..

I used Elixirs for years on all of my basses until I discovered the Markbass Longevo steels. The coatings are incredibly thin and still super durable, without the gumminess and then shredding you get with Elixir, and they stay bright for easily as long as Elixir... they have a full tone across the fingerboard - no scoop in the mids.... If you can find them (Gary at Promenade Music will order you some, or Bass Direct), they're definitely with a go!

Quite a few years back, I witnessed a double header of Brian Connolly's Sweet and Les Gray's Mud at the old Guildford Civic hall.
That will probably have been me with Mr Gray! I'm not half his age now...

I'm going to guess that probably neither of the addresses are the home of this guy... However, this appears to be the FB profile of his co-director...

Ooh look, it's Karen Carpenter-alike!

The company trading addresses are 16 Leicester Road, which is shown as her address, and 1 Kensington Close... His address? Who knows... I cannot believe the police cannot do something with this info with enough motivation...

I don't believe we have any Markbass representatives on the board....
Si
Ahem.......! I do some work with Markbass, I just don't shout about it!
I was lucky enough to be invited out to the MB58R launch in July. The Richard Bona show afterwards was absolutely bleddy amazing! The new cabinets, heads and combos are incredibly light, picking up the new head is more like picking up a paperback book, rather than a 500w bass head! I personally currently use a pair of STD121hr cabs (which are slightly lighter than the NY121) with my Casa head... the replacement for these cabs will save me a total weight of 6kg, and I have placed an order, without hesitation, having heard them!
All the MB58R products are to be manufactured in Italy. This is partly because the company is proudly Italian, but also because it considerably shortens the supply chain, optimise shipping costs and yes, saves the energy cost of shipping large quantities of wooden boxes halfway around the planet. No greenwashing here, just sound business reasons and less heavy diesel oil being burned for the sake of us low enders
The new cabinets are constructed using a revolutionary injection moulded, dense and recyclable foam, which is incredibly strong, very light and with high performance acoustically. There are three flavours to choose from - the "Energy" cabs have a tone signature similar to the current Standard and Traveler cabs, the "Pure" have a more hifi treble response (which can still be attenuated), akin to the Marcus Miller and Richard Bona cabs, and the "P" models are similar to "Energy", but have ceramic magnet speakers, which, because of the weight saving in the cabinet are still as light and in some cases even lighter than the current range wooden cabinets.
I understand that, ultimately the MB58 range will no doubt be the new Markbass standard, Marco's work has always been about innovation, but in the meantime there are understandably some very popular current models, which will continue to be made for the foreseeable future. The new models should start to become available from late October, starting with the cabinets and heads, with the new combos following later in the year. As a result, while the CMD121H has been marked on the MB website as officially discontinued, I am aware the UK distributor has secured some stock for the UK, so it'll be around for a good while yet!
Thats about all I know for now, but if I hear more I will happily share!
I have been asked to help with an Expo day at Absolute Music on 1st October, and I believe they are hoping this will be the UK debut of the new cabs and heads...

Clearly Paypal could do more if they could be bothered, and so could the fraud squad. However, I think the takeaway from this thread is, unless I can pay when I collect (if I have it in my hands then at that point cash or even PPF&F is absolutely fine) or using a legitimate business paypal or other payment platform, then its too good to be true, so walk away and don't be scammed. Sorry of course to those who have fallen for this, we all love a good deal but need to decide if we can afford to lose the money when it goes bad. 😡

Gigged with it in memory mode on Saturday.
I was bedeviled by the same problem I have whenever I use preprogrammed effects patches.
No matter how assiduously I set them up at home, get on stage and there are glaring differences in volume between the patches, and what sounds amazing at home seldom sounds great live.
Nothing wrong with the unit just my cack handed inability to program stuff properly.
As Jimfist says, it'll never sound the same at home or through headphones than it does live at gig volume! That applies to all/any effects I have ever used...
By the way, you may all be interested to know Zoom have just released a new IR pack from Jensen!
Available free of charge for all B6, G6 and G11 owners!

Basses you sometimes regret selling!

Yup both of my Mk1s were commissioned and built to order, both signed complete by Ian himself. I bought the fretless first, and the bookmatched facings were kept in a filing cabinet for a year until I scraped the money together for the fretted one.... Icould never afford to replace them now...
