Markbass amp to lend for home use, anyone? Read on....

Hello guys and gals......

Here’s a request you don’t see often.

I just bought a Markbass 310 combo.  The amp doesn’t work and needs a £200 board replacement, apparently.

Is anyone out there near Swindon, willing to lend me a Markbass amp to confirm whether I should pay to get the amp repaired?

I wouldn’t want it for long.  It would only be for home use.  I could pay for a fine slab of beer in return.

The vendor of the Markbass cab has plugged my Mesa head into it without its transformer connected..... sob, sob.......

Sonetimes you’ve gotta ask.....

It does actually sound cheeky on paper to be fair.

Anyway, May the force be with you all...

Chewie

Just get it repaired Chewie, I had one and it was the nuts... what will you do with it if you don’t get it fixed?

I totally agree buddy.  I’d just never played anything Markbass before that was all.

I was originally just after a 410 cabinet.

I've had it repaired Roger.  It is the nuts.  I love it.

Japan Axe lent me his Big Bang for a couple of days and it sounded great.

Well happy, I am........!!!

I don't live anywhere near you, but I did own one of those MB 310 combos at one time. 

It was a great amp! I did loads of gigs all over the place with it and it never let me down. If you can get it repaired for £200 (and it doesn't have any other major issues) then I would suggest you go ahead. If you want a bass combo then that is one I would definitely recommend.

I’ve had it repaired and it’s bloody lovely.

I ordered the power board from Sheffield and had it installed locally.  Cost me £150.

Love the Markbass sound...

Fantastic mate, they’re good for any gig and any band, and WILL be heard over any drummer  or guitarist 👍
