lownote Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Just dropped my Markbass LM2 onto a wooden floor from about 4 feet height. No obvious dings, rattles and it still works. Is it likely to be OK? Edited March 16, 2019 by lownote12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Don't want to find out TBH... Sounds like it might be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sounds like you got away with it. Just be glad it's not a valve amp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 They bounce really well. I dropped mine from 7 storeys up, and it didnt miss a single beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 modern stuff is often surprisingly robust, last year I pulled my PJB double 4 off a 4' stack onto a concrete floor (went to answer the phone forgetting I was only plugged in with a 3m guitar lead and the phone was 5m away), dented the casing on one corner and it switched itself off but the lights were still on, so I assumed the worse thought I'd broken it, but after answering the phone and berating myself for being an idiot, I was made up to find that switching it off at the power and back on it came back on okay and has worked fine since 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 It sounds like it's survived. wooden floors are generally fairly 'bouncy' in contrast to concrete etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Heads do bounce. That's why the guillotine had a basket of straw next to it 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm a +1 on the side that heads bounce. I had my all valve SVT head fall a metre onto the floor while in use at a gig. I didnt notice until a few mates came on stage to pick it up. It had gone into safe mode so no sound came out. After turning it off and on again, it carried on flawlessly. I had it checked out, and nothing was damaged, bar the speaker cable. I'm utterly amazed, that was 3 years ago and its still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
