Hello fellow bassplayers !
I recently bought the Markbass Little Mark II because like a lot bassplayers I wanted to go lightweight and I found this Little Mark for a fair price, have heard a good things about them, etc...
But here is my concern and I seek for an advice : I used to play through the Ashdown in the past and I loved its tubey/overdriven sound. Sadly, I had to sell it due to financial issues. When deciding on new amp I was quite indecisive. I wanted the Ashdown for a while, than some lightweight amp for a week, than Ash again and so on...You know it. So at the end 3 kilos of Markbass won, but I still miss the grit and the presence that drive gives to your sound, because as you all probably know Markbass amps are really clean and transparent sounding amps.
So here´s the question : what overdrive pedal do you consider to have nice, natural, dynamic sound to it ? Does it pair well with a solid-state amp such as Markbass ?
My experience with the overdrive pedals is quite limited, so excuse my ignorance please. Also, I´m aware, that no pedal would give me sound of an all-tube amp, but the Ashdown did very satisfying job with one single valve in preamp, so I believe that there must be a good pedal that sounds at least as good as Ashdown.
Oh, and I play in 3-piece rock´n´roll band (influences like The Clash, The Jam, The Killers, The Strokes) in case you´d like to know.
Thanks for every response in advance !!!
Cheers,
Jakub.
