Musicman20 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Looks interesting...but the price tag put me off it. A lot of features, but the LM3 dragged me in instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 50W means nothing, but a LM3 gives that extra 50W, plus Im pretty happy with Markbass reliability...not that I have any reason to doubt TC. Im not into presets, and I wouldnt use the pedal. I like the idea of having a good consistent sound and just making minor changes...but thats me! Some people like to be able to change with fswitches etc. I like using a Boss tuner, just works for me being on the floor. No doubt this TC head is really good though. Only gripe was that the overdriven tube sound was like a cheap distortion pedal...but that might have been the video. Test the Shuttle/LM3! Great stuff!

Urban Bassman Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yep took the plunge and got one along with a 2 x 10 and 2 x 12 cab. Done a couple of gigs and a number of rehearsal and so far so FAB! Worth getting the foot controller as well IMHO. Still tweaking the sounds but I'm well pleased. Light weight and a doddle to use. Here's a pic.

Mr. Foxen Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Are those two different drivers in each cab? Especially in the 2x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Oh yes the 2 x 12 is bigger front to back but they have the same width as the 2 x 10 so that they stack neatly together.

Used on 3 gigs so far with 3 different cabs (15, 2x12, 4x10) and very happy with it. I mainly do corporate/wedding gigs and this head is ideal for my situation. As close as you can get to plug a play, courtesy of the on-board tuner and presets. A compressor is important to me and this must be one of the best I've found within an amp. I did a corporate up in Manchester conference centre last night. Had a surprised thumbs up for FOH bass sound within seconds. Will probably get round to commenting on the sound once I've played with it a little more, but like any amp, try before buying if possible.

I have an Eden WT 550 and even though it hasn't let me down I may retire it and use it as a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am so getting one of these as my next amp. A couple of years down the line though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Its a great looking rig. I currently angle an Epi 310 with one of those Mark Bass wedgies and that works great, but it would be fab to have that 2x10 almost at ear level. I'd be interested to know what the top end is like out of the cabs - e.g. is there enough zing for slap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
