woolleydick Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 cmd 121p bought new from bass gallery in camden n July I hope it is covered under warranty. Contacted Markbass direct and they have pointed me at the UK distributer - awaiting reply to email at the moment. Main problem is going to be that I am in North Africa right now, not UK.

redstriper Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Are you sure it's the amp and not your bass or cable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Do you have access to a gigging alternative?? Suppose if you got a sparky to look at it they'd invalidate your warranty. I feel for you , mate. Absolute pisser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sounds like the speaker maybe has blown and what you are hearing could be through the tweeter (assuming it has one, if not I'll get me coat!). This happened to me twice with GK gear. Could be worth checking the connections to the speaker perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolleydick Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am sure if anyone opens it up it will invalidate the warranty - I would do it myself being an electronics engineer, but I can guess what they would say. However checking the speaker by attaching an extension cab seems a worthwhile test, if it is the problem, I might be able to persuade them to send a replacement speaker!

warwickhunt Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sorry if I sound like I'm teaching Granny to suck eggs but... After testing the speaker have you another amp that you could use to establish if the pre and power sections are operating OK? Using effects send and return or pre/power in and outs on the amp (not familiar with the model so not sure what it has) and the headphone socket (?) might help you pinpoint the problem. If none of what I've said makes sense I'll check on-line later today as to what your model has in the way of facilities to test this. Good luck with the speaker test though.

woolleydick Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 all true, and would help to find the problem, but I suspect it will have to go back to a dealer or distributor because of the warranty issue. good job I have other amps. actually rehearsed using my roland microcube and mic'd it up through the PA - not perfect but perfectly giggable - was surprised.
