Traded an SFT for a Tonehammer with Etienne and I have to say he was a great person to deal with. The pedal was packed well and in great condition. Thanks very much for a great and worry free transaction. Cheers Sean

As above .....Everyone seems to be selling them and at around 200 notes ....It aint cheap.....im not seeing anyone wanting it either...... As with all Their stuff ......It really is over priced isnt it?? And I have been running from new a Markbass CMD102P.....Which in my opinion is overpriced also... Why is the stuff so dear?? Ive sent the combo back twice in a year, already....honestly...

I think if you play the bass line as near as you can to the original recording nobody can ever really have any issues with that. In fact I think if the band is learning new songs it makes learning them a lot easier.

Ah cheers mate will look in to that ;0)

Hi all, I have Guitar rig 4 on my computer and I run it using ASIO audio drivers and it sounds good no latency etc.....However Id like to be able to run it along side Youtube when having a look at, or learning new songs and these drivers dont seem to be compatible with Internet Explorer..... Does anyone have any idea how i can run the two together?....If I run it throught the computers standard audio drivers there are latency issues... Thanks in Advance

[i]There has been no job number given out but in fairness to GAK they got the amp picked up really quickly, as in the next morning, so my complaint is not so much with them.[/i] [i]Ive read somewhere though that Proels service (main distributor for markbass stuff in the UK) is painfully slow and they charge a fortune.[/i] [i]I guess this is what gets me, if your paying top dollar for something you expect top dollar service.........and Markbass stuff aint cheap.[/i]

Hi all, I bought a Markbass cmd102p (and New York ext cab) at the end of july and it was great until the main fuse (the one positioned where the kettle lead enters the amp) blew about 3 weeks ago. I phoned Proel first of all and spoke to their technical department and they told me the amp would need to come in for repair as it could be a serious problem and just changing the fuse wouldnt do any good. Ok, so with the amp being under six months old I got in touch with Gak, who i bought the amp off and they arranged a courier to come and pick it up. Great. Ive not however heard anything else up to this point so I phoned Gak yesterday trying to chase up how long the amp will need to be away and to be honest, they couldnt give me any information. They did however tell me that as soon as they hear anything they will let me know. So, with it now coming up to about 3 weeks since my amp was sent away and with it being so new and Markbass` apparently great reputation, My question is: How long do you think I should give it before I start complaining about the length of time its been away?? Im in a real busy band and wanted to go down the good sound and portability route. I find im now back to lumping my heavy Ampeg gear around again to gigs. The Ampeg stuff sounds great but kind of defeats the object of buying the light weight stuff in the first place. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Sean.

I have a 4 string BTB and I had the same problem.....I play in a loud band and it rendered the guitar almost useless as you couldnt hear anything I was playing unless i turned the gain right up on the amp and then got a distorted sound that I didnt want.....apparently its a common problem with BTB`S as they are fitted with cheap Bartolini mk1 pickups on most standard guitar models....I upgraded to the much better spec Bartolini mk2 Soapbars (fitted to quite a few of Ibanez more up market guitars) and the increase in volume was immense.....like night and day.....the preamp in your guitar is pretty standard for the Ibanez range guitar with the 18v preamp fitted, it basically comes down to you have sh*te pick ups fitted in your guitar at the moment....apologies if im wrong on this but I did have the same problem as you and it had nothing to do with the batteries.... Reguards Sean.

Exactly the same thing has just happend to my Markbass CMD102P its only 4 months old and luckily still under warranty.....so no dust issues.....I spoke to the guy at Proel also though, he told me if the fuse blows where the kettle lead enters the amp you have serious problems and your amp will need to be looked at.....replacing this fuse will not cure your problem....mine blew funnily enough at really low volumes when I was trying a new pedal out in the house....The weight of this combo is great but as a busy bass player can I trust it again at a gig without backup??....which kind of defeats the object of buying an expensive lightweight bit of kit in the first place....

Ah staying sober is a good one.......

It doesnt help you much....but I have to say I have always had good service from Andertons.... I will say however, I have been let down by courier services frequently, usually having to drive to the depot and pick the stuff up myself.....

Thought the combo sounded alot nicer than the head......and at 800w you cant go wrong....lovely....

I bought a Fane Colossus 15xb speaker and it sounds lovely in a cheapy old Ashdown mag 15 cab.....rated at 800 w too....

Hi all, I want to make my own good quality guitar/ mic leads.....Just wondering does anyone have any info on the best place to buy the materials to do this, with regards to quality, price and service. Many Thanks Sean.

TRBboy....have you sold this.....im in the market for buying one if you havent??....Let me know if your still interested in selling both conbo and cab... Many thanks sean...
