Cheers Stevie I've ordered a mibass 550 and an ashdown LB212 cab both get really good reviews and recommendations on the forums ill let you know how I get on with them both thanks everyone Bri

the little mark250 is in the right price (i can get a LM11 or 11for cheaper or a little more respectively but no wrranty) and ive heard that many good things about them im drawn to the brand but worried i might need more headroom. Are they as loud as people say? and would a 2x12 give a nice fat bottom (ooh er missus)

What's the return policy like? How much does it cost are you returning to Germany?

Cheers thanks for that. now which amp.....

hi thinking of one of these two as the head for my new mini rig with a 2x10 2x12 or 1x12 need enough oomph to compete with a loud drummer and 2 x plank spankers both going for around 350 on thomann with 3yrs waranty which seems good compared to some sh prices and i like the idea of a warranty although never bought from thomann any one any advice of either head or thomann cheers Guys

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1334596102' post='1618274'] It's a good price, so Buckets was probably just hoping a BC'er was the lucky buyer. Y'know, wishing some good fortune on his BC peers. It ain't rocket salad... [/quote] that's exactly what it was. no offence meant to anyone sheesh lets get back to the thread what rig am I gonna buy........;-)

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334573626' post='1617717'] I have an LM250 and also run it completely flat (with a fair bit of VLE and VPF of course) and it is indeed the perfect tone. I'm using it with a BFM J12 which needs very few watts to really kick it out. Beautiful low end. [/quote] [quote name='eude' timestamp='1334573197' post='1617707'] I used to have a MarkBass LittleMark 250 with an Aguilar GS112. For me, it was the perfect tone, I used to run it completely flat and it sounded awesome, to me anyway! I know the power was a bit limited, but for what I needed it for it was perfect, the GS112 cabs put out an incredible amount of low end. I moved to my little Promethean combo due to a change of circumstances/space, but I miss the low end of that set up. Personally, if I was you, I'd aim for a micro head and 2 1x12s if you can get a good deal on it. You could then use one cab for rehearsal and quiet practice and whip out both to get the full 4 Ohm welly out of the head. I can vouch for the MarkBass kit, it's all amazing, every single bit of it, however I've yet to try the MiBass heads, but I am very interested in them. Probably not much help, but it's my 2p anyway Eude [/quote]Bugger! thats me more confused than ever. No seriously thanks for the advice of your experiences. im about to shell out a lot of dough on this and want to be happy with it. Just seems a good price on the mibass inc 3 yr warranty as opposed to SH although ive heard the markbass stuff is pretty reliable. would you suggest a 2x12 a 4x10 seen a couple in my price range. would have likes the LM3 and Barefaced compact that was up the other day but the cab got snaffled super quick

seriously thinking of a mibass 550 (£360 deivered from thomann delivered and with 3yr warranty -about the same price or cheaper as peope are after for SH markbass) with either a 2x10 2x12 or 4x10 possibly the GK mbe 4X10 as a ligtish weight rig that can do the business and come in at budget anyone used Mibass and markbass and can give an honest opinion?

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1334571757' post='1617653'] Just keepin' it in the faaaamily... (innit) [/quote] exactly

yah i hit 325 at the last min but missed it boo just hope it was a BCer

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1334298956' post='1613910'] Fender Rumble 410, 500 watts at 4 ohms, £255 [url="http://www.scayles.co.uk/ProductDetails.php?ID=ODQ2"]http://www.scayles.c...ils.php?ID=ODQ2[/url] [/quote] As its 4 ohm would this be better than the GK with a MB little mark iii as itd give me the full 500watts? or is an 8 ohm cab a better idea and expand if necc? sorry guys need to move fast here!

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1334262110' post='1613552'] ^^^ Markbass F1 + SansAmp through one of those bad boys sounds awesome, and much lighter than an Ampeg rig ^^^ [/quote] through which bad boys? the GK 4x10? cheers Bri

ned anew amp set up and I'm thinking of blowing most of my budget on a nice amp maybe a s/h markbass either a little mark iii or lm250 trouble is that will leave me precious little for cabs. cant afford MB cabs would the harly benton 2x10s at thomman do it justice for now or am i wasting my time? would i need a 4x10 for a largish pub or will the markbass and a single 2x10 cut the mustard. having trouble deciding you know what they say 'never give an idiot a choice' thanks guys and girls

so if i got the combo and the 2x10 could I run all three speakers together as well as 1,2 or 3 and would it give me enough oomph for decent sized pub venues?

sorry im new to all this amp stuff I must read the pinned info. just need some good sound buying advice before i jump in

oops again £70 different

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1329503116' post='1543580'] Just saw these, they look mighty familiar! If Ibanez do stop the production of the 500W Prometheans it seems that there might be other options.

Matt [/quote] am I missing something? is the bass head in the 1x10 combo identical to the head on its own? if so it would make sense to get the combo and an additional 2x10 as opposed to the head and a 2x10 cab? as both are the same price but youd have a 3x10 set up with the combo?
