MarkBass UK maintenance - help needed please!!
kolossusuk replied to kolossusuk's topic in Amps and Cabs
Update - Used my repaired 121 last weekend in a rooftop open air gig in front of several hundred enthusiastic folk - via PA of course. Took a risk to do without backup but having listened to the videos, the tone and sound was immense. However, I definitely was nervous about whether the combo would crap out. Not the best way to perform! Tightrope with no safety net! -
My reliable GB built Ashdown ABM Combo is up for grabs. Cosmetically needs tarting up but wonderfully solid UK built Ashdown quality. Only minor technical issue is the push switch for the pre/post eq. Moving on as I have moved to ABM 500w via 410 + 212 cabs but this baby will fill the room of any pub or club.. Great mid / entry level combo. Collection from North Essex preferred, though I do gig in the region as far as East side M25

I did similar - bought a mandolin from a charity shop in Frinton On Sea and retuned to E A D G - it's a MAYA, in its own hardcase and it's great fun, though I really should use it more!

Yes my memory is spot on and also confirmed across the markbass forum. It was addressed in the second generation version.. -

I was about to push the button for a replacement when I got a call from Essex Amp Repairs - they fixed mine - they were as surprised as me.... 90 day warranty so I may be back! Just collected - 60 mile round trip and tested as working. Controller switch was the problem... -

I seem to recall that the power modules were upgraded, due to known issues, in later versions of the CMD 121 / LMs - Any idea when that happened, please? -
Likewise, apologies for delay in response. My buddies at Essex Amp Repair appear to be having problems making contact with distributor / parts. Transpires that I need a replacement power module......

Hi Guys - Anyone got the number for the UK distributor for spares? Need a replacement power module for my CMD121 combo, urgently! My regular maintainer is hitting challenges in making contact, so it seems!!

In order to protect my ageing limbs, I decided to buy a used CMD121 H which matched perfectly the power and presence of my trusted ashdown abm evo 3 + 2x12 GB NEO cab.. Immaculate as new condition, cosmetically and a bargain price of just £350.... However, the second gig I used it on, power died completely, halfway through first set. Had to daisy chain from my MFX pedal direct into the mixer / PA - horrible... Transpires that it is failing at the transistors stage (circled red in attached) so, given the nature of the construction, I have booked myself in to get a repair done at Essex Amp repairs, who I have used in the past. BUT, am I wasting time, effort and money, as the amp is 9 years old and who knows what the replacement elements will cost?? I also understand there was a known board problem with this amp (Combo Head 2) - anyone else aware of this and how was it resolved by Markbass? Back to Ashdown for the next series of gigs!! TIA Paul

This sounds fascinating - the sub n up I mean. Currently I use ME50b octave with distortion and chorus. Just too muddy for me. Go via Ashdown abm 500 rc evo 3 and genz Benz cabs (4x10 and / or 2x12). Great wall of sound but sometimes a little subtlety is needed!!

Hello all. I play in a 3 piece, as indeed many of us do.. when the guitarist branches out into a solo, I usually activate a touch of distortion to fill out the sound for the duration. Not perfect but it helps. My question is whether there's an fx out there that can better emulate a cleaner second power chording guitar while playing bass as opposed to dialling in distortion? P

Experienced and committed bassist with great gear, transport and vast, diverse repertoire into most genres - also backing vocals, some guitar and keys when suits... - excellent local gig contacts seeking new band. Current band winding down now after 4 years together so looking forwards to a new challenge / opportunity
