    Love my P/J. P pup on full, J pick up around 70% on, all the rest done on the tone control.

    Just bought a PUMA 900 from Mark. Delivered the day I asked for it to be delivered, excellent. The amp bag was not delivered. Quick phone call and it was with me well within 24 hours later. I always find the mark of a good operation is how they sort it out when things don't go quite right. SUPERB, thanks Mark. So glad I'm more than 2 hours away or I could be in serious financial trouble

    Warranty you say eh? Just plugged this little lot in, in the back bedroom. Quite scary watching cones move back and forth half an inch. This rig just sounds amazing to be honest. The only issue I had with the TTE was having to do a bit of EQ ing. Plugged this in flat, used both gigging basses, both sound wonderful. I liked the 500, I'm gonna like the 900 Right, I'm off to compose something to go with the lyrics little drummer boy has sent me. I've got until tomorrow night's rehearsal. Oh, except I'm working until 6 tomorrow night. Drummers eh, oh for a vivisectionist.

    Completed another deal with Martyn couple of days back. As ever an absolute delight to deal with. Always a pleasure Martyn and as all say, fully recommended top geezer.

    Neil has just bought a bass from me. Absolute top guy, paid faster than a speeding Dyno Rod man, great comms throughout and just made everything so easy. Fully recommended nice guy. Enjoy Neil, all the very best, Karl.

    [quote name='Sparky Mark' timestamp='1436279202' post='2816670'] I'm a little nervous about adding my thoughts to this thread ( for fear of confirming my ignorance ) but the cab rating is a thermal rating only. As the AEs are relatively efficient at converting the Puma's output into sound I would be amazed if you ever come close to feeding them with anywhere near 300 watts continuous. You could just as easily damage those cabs with a 500w head cranked too high and a compressionless slap fest! [/quote] Trust me Mark, a slap fest WON'T be happening

    Good luck indeed and enjoy it! My wife usually just says "at least it's not another bloody Rickenbacker".

    [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1436178946' post='2815554'] My rig is a Tecamp Puma 900 and brace of Bergantino AE112s. I've used it without problems for quite a few gigs, and one day I may play a venue big enough to need the master volume turned past 10 o'clock. Just thought that some advice based on actual experience might be helpful, though I realise that that doesn't conform to BC standards. [/quote]

    Vic, I've linked this on the Facebook Yamaha Attitudes page which is global. If you want it taken down just let me know. Now, hurry up and sell it before I do something daft, yet again

    Good question Mr Jack. Folk still rave about Trace Elliott watts, with the exception of the V Types, I was never overly enamoured. Perhaps question of technique/style, or lack of in my case.

    I don't use any pedals or effects. The main band is a rock covers band, we are loud, but not ear bleedingly so. Last night the TTE, gain was around 11.30, master around 9 o'clock and that was more than enough. EQ was bass cut a bit, mid cut a bit treble boosted a bit (all between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock on the dials). Colour bumped round to about 1 o'clock. Tweeters off on both cabs, I don't use them. With using the PUMA 500 for a long time (for me) it was always TASTE at 1o'clock, bit of cut on bass/low mids, bit of boost on high mids/treble. Gain rarely more than half way round, master usually around 10 o'clock. Lovely, clean, warm, deep sound. I always like to have gear much more powerful than I will need, never driven any amp past half way on master. Thanks again.

    Tell ya wot, yuse guys is amazing, thank you all. Not like them up there in Off Topic

    Thank you Mr. discreet. I may only play 4 notes per night but I know how to make them count. How, does one shatter an arse? On second thoughts DO NOT ANSWER THAT

    JapanAxe, thank you but wash your mouth out OBBM and CambdenRob thanks, I'm sure I read Bill Fitzmaurice say similar, so panic (probably) over. Thanks guys inc mr 7755 and Groove

    Decided to go back to the simplicity of the wonderful Tec Amp PUMA. Ordered the 900 watt (4 ohms). Ten minutes later the dawning. My two Berg AE112 cabs are only 300 watt apiece, so obviously 6oo watts in total . Any ideas that don't end in buying more bloody gear? Yours, embarrassed muppet of Wigan.

    Sold thank you.

    Right, enough, it has to be said. In the various places you have this advertised, your first paragraph states it's a P body with a J neck. It's not, it's a J body with a P neck. And if these things had a tone control, it would be mine GLWTS

    Couple of other folk wanting to do a deal on this head, but it's on hold for cash sale until Sunday thanks. Cheers, Karl. EDIT. That's spooky, matron has vanished from post #5

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1435849381' post='2813032'] If I may Karl..... These used, certainly in their initial build on the Italian models, analogue power modules from Bang&Olufsun which were later changed. I'm not sure which power modules they are using since changing production to the Far East. I'm sure others can shed more info [/quote] Yeah, Markbass eh , great gear, not so much with communications. Anyway, the 500 uses the analogue, the 800 uses the digital. Presumably to get the last 3db out of it. This is one of the very last to come out of the Italian factory, so not subject to any spec change from the original.

    Thanks Martin and Dave. On hold thank you.
  25. karlfer
    Thank you MB1 Response to you first below. I was asked if this was analogue or digital, the questioner not being wholly convinced of Markbass's accuracy on their website. Hopefully the second photo will help with that question. Appears to be silver objects behind each vent. Best I can do without opening it up, which sadly, with it being immaculate I'm not going to do. My hamfisted destroy it knack is legendary in Wigan [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/hattie-jacques1_zpscvtvyysm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/hattie-jacques1_zpscvtvyysm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/001_zpsndifkibm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/001_zpsndifkibm.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
