Sean started following FS: Markbass Nano 300
-
Surplus requirements, this brilliant little amp is looking for a new home. It’s been gigged once for about half an hour through a BF TWO10. It’s had some very recent home use but other than that it’s been in a gig bag the whole time I’ve had it. This used to come to gigs with me in the car as emergency backup for the big valve monsters in case they went pop. As most of you know, this is as serious gigging amp that can drive a 410 at volumes way higher than most of use. For 2x10 gigs at pubs and PA venues, it’s more than adequate and it sounds great. That one time I used it at that gig where my 400+ went down, the rest of the band said they preferred the sound of the Nano 300. It’s still got the box. It comes with a power lead too. There’s a few scratches on the bottom that it must’ve picked up from other things in the bag but it’s just cosmetic. I think it’s a good price for a private sale versus what’s out there through the trade. Postage will probably be about £5. If you want to come and try it, I’m in Gloucester. The MB website says: The NANO MARK 300 once again raises the bar for bass amp heads.Our smallest amp is not a toy—it gives you the Markbass tone in the most portable package possible easy to transport everywhere, featuringsimple and effective controls and yet it gives you all thevolume you need for most gigs. It's a professional-grade amplifier you need to hear to believe such powerful sound can be delivered by such a small and lightweight package! In fact, our lightest and smallest head only weights 3.20 lbs / 1.45 kgand has an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio, with its 300W of power in a very small and ultra-lightweight package. Many competitors was inspired by Markbass amps manufacturing small amps too but in our case small doesn't mean "poor performance", on the contrary with the Nano Mark 300 not only you can take this ultra-little ampeverywhere, but you don’t have to sacrifice the warm and rich Markbass tone!Markbass products are known for their clarity and loyalty to the source of sound. People often use words like warm, punchy, clear, honest, accurate- even aggressive to describe Markbass. They also say that Markbass amps allow them to sound like themselves!

It's such a shame when this sort of thing happens. My sympathies to those who were a victim of this. Well done mods for picking this up and making everyone aware of these heartless undesirables.

i would love someone to explain to me how this all works. So the concept is to use tariffs not to protect fledgling industries or security critical industries but to raise taxes, increase the cost of imports and encourage americans to buy american produced goods. OK all good so far. The next phase is to get rid of income tax as it won’t be needed with all the billions raised from tariffs. OK I can see a bit of contradiction going on here but lets roll with it. So we have companies priced out of exporting to the us so they set up shop in the us. erm okay nice concept but do they bring their own energy supply, cheap labour and raw materials with them? Manufacturing is fairly dirty. Which states get the pollution and how do they get around the fact that china controls much of the rare earth and manufacturing technology for metal production etc once they are all in the us what happens to the tariff revenue lost and how do they compete with the rest of the world who are still using global supply chains. the concept is not insane. the timeframe and lack of joined up thinking is though.

Lakeland DJ4 Good condition, this is a very nice bass - the best 4 string passive Jazz type I've owned (and that includes USA Fenders). 3.9kg Selling as I have my eye on a 5 string, so might withdraw this sale if that goes. Collect/meet up preferred (I live in Chichester but am often in London for work).

Trump's tariff wars...long post.
Steve Browning replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
Personally, I read tariff to mean import Duty. It's wrong to extend that to include any domestic sales taxes imposed upon import but, as we have said, that seems not to matter in the US (at present). The whole US tax system seems weird to a UK 'sales tax' person. The US is pretty much unique in how they charge sales (and use) taxes. They have toyed with the idea of changing to a system akin to VAT but discussions never got anywhere. -

Sorry, missed this bit. If you do go down the road of getting a second bf, set them both to 16ohm. Your amp will be able to deliver more than half the power into 8 than it can into 4, so the difference will be less than 3dB. And you'll be able to turn it up further before the speakers complain. I think you mentioned earlier that you don't use the full capacity of the amp anyway?

Hellzero started following Thumb Support
-
I'll come back here with an old moto of mine: use the classical guitar seated playing position, this is the best position to release all tensions in the body, but don't use a foot rest as it will twist your spine and ruin everything. Instead use a Hopf Dynarette on your thigh to perfectly balance your instrument and body, but don't buy any Amazon fake, but the original that you can find at Thomann. Check here what it is: And watch Simon Zauels here playing the perfect way to avoid any health problem: To release the tension of the thumb, use the double bass (again) classical technique, which is using the thumb as a guide for your hand without any pressure on the neck, which is also the classical guitar technique by the way. Remember that to achieve this, you'll have to play a perfectly balanced instrument with a low action and a perfect set-up. And don't think about what the others will say seeing you playing like this, but think only about your own comfort. You'll probably think too that it's only a thumb problem, but everything is intricately linked, talk to a physiotherapist and you'll be amazed by how important your posture is (and not only while playing an instrument).

For sale, I have 6 Celestion BN-200 neo drivers available in very good used condition from a recently dismantled 6x10 which became too much to haul. Currently retailing at £115 just about everywhere I think it's a fair saving. Super lightweight compared to ceramic, 200 watt and 8 ohms. Buy singles or in pairs, quads, it's up to you and your project/upgrade. Postage negotiable dependent on numbers purchased. Cheers.
