discreet Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I wish I had a cake-providing other half. Mine provides either earache OR awkward silences. No middle ground. Or cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Darn, sorta wishing I went now All being well, I'll shortly be free of bass gas, which can only mean one thing: amp and cab gas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was really pleased to hear that they are now holding MarkBass stock in the UK rather than having to wait to get everything from the European warehouse. Quite a big investment to do this but it'll really help us to get things faster in the future Anyone else try the MultiAmp at the show? I couldn't resist bringing one back to play with but haven't had a chance to even turn it on yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't resist bringing one back to play with but haven't had a chance to even turn it on yet! [/quote] Just for info, I'm not actually employed by MSL (sadly - I wish! Thats me on the right), just help out with shows and events, but I'm certainly very passionate about the gear. Over the weekend we probably did one in three demos on the MultiAmp - it got lots of attention - and it is well worthy of it! I also took one home after the show, and I haven't even had time to un-box it yet! I did however, spend loads of time working with it over the weekend. A couple of people said "perhaps too complicated for me...". I can understand why people may think that at first sight, particularly if you, like me, tend not to use pedals. But like any new tech, it really isn't that complicated once you get some time with it. My take on it is that, using it live I will probably configure half a dozen user presets for the type of gig I am doing (a clean LM3 or Big Bang, a TTE500, a Fender-esque rig, an Ampeggy one, and maybe a Slappy one), set it how I need it for the gig and leave it like that; and its nothing short of utterly brilliant if you use in-ears and DI straight into the PA. However, if you have a pedal board, then you'll add a MIDI controller like a SoftStep (I've already got one for my X32 digital desk), and halve the number of pedals you currently have on your board (it has all the MB pedals and quite a few more), and stick them through the effects loop, which can also be switched in and out using MIDI, along with punching onboard effects in/out, controlling volume pedal, tap tempo, etc, etc.... If anyone in the west country wants to see it, I be happy to show you. I live near Honiton, and I'm up and down to Truro weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've met Ferdinand before and he's a very nice guy, and I know some people who've ordered Rikkers basses and he's very open to your opinion and taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Nice blog. That Rikkers left handed was so nice. Also seeing the photo of the Beatles Bass again on the Hofner stand has made me think i missed a real bargain. I was offered it at such a good price, but walked away. I got a couple of books from Bassline Publishing. Well written and easy to follow with good explainations. There was also a green coloured ACG that i really liked. Unfortunately they were all right handed. In fact, there was so much nice gear, it would be impossible to list it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
