Clarky Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Have discovered that a smaller cab is fine for most of my band's gigs, which normally have PA, and thus Markbass 106 is a bit of an unused luxury. Just wondered if anyone interested in this pretty lightweight (77lb) high-quality 10x6" 6-ohm cab. Has literally left my house only once, for a gig at the Hope & Anchor, Islington and is too big and powerful to schlep along for band rehearsals. It looks totally as new. Cost me, from memory, c£900 from Bass Centre in London in February (they now charge £1,035, prices went up during 2008 due to strong Euro). Would have to be pick up from Central London (I live nr Hammersmith) due to size. Edited December 15, 2008 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_russ Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 blimey, If I knew how much room I'm going to have after I relocate I'd be seriously interested- if it's still about in a few weeks I'll be in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Given current environment, I suspect it will be around in a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 These 6x10s that we both have are fantastic standalone cabs and for someone agonising over a single cab solution that doesn't want to go the whole hog and get an Ampeg monolith, they really are are a great idea! If I weren't downsizing bands (full on 4 piece rock band to acoustic duo) then I'd have a 6x10 any day of the week. Hope you have more luck than I have Clarky... I have to confess that even though I've got a pair of replacement cabs I'm still gigging my 6x10 this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, would really like cash due to imminence of the C word (not the fat guy opposite you Wayne) PS, can be glimpsed to right of my (now sold) FG Rick in this photo [attachment=15289:clarky_basss_049.jpg] Edited October 28, 2008 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) BUMP - would much prefer cash but will listen to trade ideas with a value in £700 region (vs >£1,000 current brand new cost* of this mint condition, virtually unused cab) NB, I only like 'trad' basses (Fenders, Lakland Fender-alikes etc) and I don't need another head or cab. Would possibly consider a compact lightweight combo for practices (Mesa Walkabout, Markbass 1x12 or 1x15 combo with cash adjustment in my favour) but would have to be lightweight given my dicky back (no Traces, Ampegs etc)? Please PM me with ideas if you fancy a super-light 6x10 effectively at a 30% discount from new price. * eg £1,027 at the Bass Merchant Edited November 1, 2008 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombboy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your posts are slightly confusing Clarky regarding the price. You say you are offering 30% off the retail price.... Is that 30% off what you paid for it (£900), 30% off retail as you posted in July (£972) or 30% off retail now (£1,027)???? This is mean't in the nicest possible way... do us a favour mate... stop faffing and name your price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sorry if unclear - £700 cash or trade equivalent And the 30% discount is compared with what it would cost you new today, as prices have gone up for the strong Euro (Bass Merchant £1,027; Bass Centre £1,035) Hopefully faff-free Edited October 29, 2008 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 November bump Any trade ideas for lightweight combo - Mesa Walkabout, Markbass CMD151P etc - to value of c£700? Must be light due to my glass back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Pre-weekend bump! Noone fancy trading a Markbass or Walkabout combo for a big, powerful but light cab in as-new condition? Edited November 7, 2008 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
