Despite the fuzzyness that looks like almost 15dB of boost @ 30Hz, a fine way to either blow your speakers (if you have plenty of amp power) or cause your amp to clip very prematurely. Deal with that and your fine monolith should play way louder without distortion and last longer! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 [quote name='dood' post='124931' date='Jan 21 2008, 07:13 PM']*FANFARE* Just taken delivery of a Mark Bass F1 ;o) . I have a rack mount kit on its way, so will be putting it in a rack case with my TC Gforce. Nothing else! The amp, as you can see is sat upon an Epifani UL-610. Now, can I just take a few moments to dispell any myths. INCLUDING some preconceived views (yeh, mine too) on what this amp may sound like. I am the first to admit that MarkBass and I did not start off on the right foot. I tried a few MB rigs and just couldnt get on with the sound. I later found, much like Ampeg, all MB cabs have a 'tone' to them.. Sadly a tone I don't like. Now the Epifani does have it's own tone too.. infact, most cabs do in one way or another.. maybe the Epi is just less intrusive. So, anyway.. I thought there is NO WAY that such a small box can keep up with a LOUD band in a studio live room (yep.. a noisey environment). I can catagorically confirm this amp is tastefully LOUD LOUD LOUD.. and very HiFi clean too ;o) [edit] for info, it's 500W RMS into 4 Ohms I discovered the VLE andd VPF controls to be uber useful. I have renamed them to 'The Ampeg Control' - sounds a bit like a Sansamp when you go too far with them.. I suspect that was the idea! I may keep the 2k powersoft amp to use should I need to play the odd stadium with a set of 8x10's, but I am surprised and excited to say I may have finally arrived wih my gear. I shudder to think how much I have spent over the years, I really do. Oh.. and the F1 has a pair of purpley blue LEDs ;o) [attachment=5094:Gear020.JPG] I must just say a big thankx to ma man Deano at The Bass Centre for being bl**dy brilliant and sorting me out with new toys AGAIN. I'll write a decent review when I get round to it![/quote] Just remembered I had this UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL pic to include! I'll post a pic of the new Agggie GS112 with it soon..

rhymes Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hooray - finally got the bits of mine after much bargain hunting and got a chance to hook it up and turn it up at practice on Sunday.

BTGAndy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Here's mine, sorry for the dark and grainy picture. I took it on my phone and the studio doesn't have very good lighting. The rig is an SWR SM-1500 with a Goliath III and Son of Bertha. According to the Fender rep I was the only person daft enough in Europe to purchase the SM-1500. 30kgs of bass joy and thats not including the sleeved rack.

I have a similar set up: Fender Jazz -> ABM 300 Evo II -> MAG cab, I just have a couple of extra speakers. Sadly I've not got the Wideboy version which looks much cooler IMO, it stacks on cabs much better. There was a Wideboy version in Sound Control in Glasgow the other week, a bit scruffy, but I was tempted to see if they'd do a swap. I didn't though, and it's probably gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
