    There's an article here about modding one so you can add an external cab at the same time (I know that's not exactly what you're asking) but that seems to suggest it can run a 4ohm load so I don't see why you couldn't do as you suggest - but the mods might make it more useable all-round: https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/ask-amp-man-modding-a-pro-junior-for-an-extension-cab

    Ah, this explains why a guitar tech mate of mine had a large bag of surgical tubing in his shop. I was getting a little worried....

    Yes please!

    I think if it’s just for vocals, and the singer is pushing for it, I’d say it’s up to them. I’ve generally supplied PA for bands I’ve been in simply because I’ve been the only one interested enough in figuring out what we need and how it works! Does mean I need to bring a lot more stuff to gigs (particularly when I’m doing drums!) so it’s getting a bit tiresome now…

    You mean for mounting things into the rack case? If so, any standard rack screws etc will work. I bought a load off Amazon or eBay (can’t remember which).

    NY121 cab and CMD121P combo sold - just the LMIII still available.

    A follow on to an earlier thread where I inquired about estimating the power needs for amps and PA for use with a borrowed portable battery, I've now been told that 'we're going to give it a go' with our (i.e. read my) usual PA and amps etc. I'm a little nervous about putting all of my fairly expensive equipment in the hands of someone who doesn't really know anything about the portable battery we're going to be using. My main concern is obviously the risk of damage to my amp and PA equipment. Could an inadequate power supply cause damage to a class D head and modern PA speakers and a digital mixer? By inadequate I mean it can't supply the level of power needed i.e. it runs out/down whilst in use.

    GR Bass Mini One 'micro' amp for sale. Excellent little amp - 170w at 8ohm, 350w at 4ohm, with three-band EQ, aux in and headphone out (for silent practice), decent DI - basically everything from a 'big' amp in a small package. Like a slightly more grown-up TE Elf or Warwick Gnome - only slightly larger. I used this as a backup to my dodgy Mark Bass combo amp - the size meant it was no effort to bring it along with my other stuff. It's only really been used a few times as I ended up with a Little Mark III replacement head for the combo. There's really no point in my leaving this sitting on a shelf not being used. Include original box/papers and IEC cable. Also includes GR Bass official carry bag (£50 on its own). Try this out with a lightweight cab and you're in for a portable treat!

    NY121 cab currently on hold...

    Don't know about 'any', but certainly the LM-sized ones can - so if it's on the same chassis, it should be fine. Looks like the dimensions are the same for both: https://www.markbass.it/product/little-mark-tube-800/ https://www.markbass.it/product/little-mark-iii/ You may need to remove the 'lid' of the LMT and install the 'holders' from the CH2 but it should work.
  12. Jakester
    I mean you can have them - gratis, free etc

    I have some DB strings that I bought ages ago when there was a PSA for super-cheap no-name strings. Never fitted them, not sure if they're the right length or indeed any good whatsoever - but they're yours if you want them! (What a sales pitch, eh?)

    Just to circle back to this, had the gig last night and @EBS_freak’s suggestion worked perfectly. Set my digital desk to just passthrough each input pre-everything - and because that was only 5 inputs, I could send via the mono auxes straight out into the FOH desk, give them a stereo out of the drums (I was playing) and also send a separate feed for the other band member who used IEMs because he only wanted snare from the kit. (Though at help time he asked for more of everything else too). Excellent result and I didn’t need to buy any more kit!

    Not sure - the Combo Head II has been put back in and the casing put back on the LMIII. It's not hard to take either out/off though if you wanted to.

    Edit: going to withdraw this for now as no interest and have sold my other backup amp. For sale: Mark Bass CMD121P, NY121 extension cab and/or LMIII amp head. Only the Little Mark III head is still for sale! £250 + £15 postage. So: I bought a Mark Bass CMD121P combo from someone (who shall remain nameless) off here in 2019, and also a NY121 extension cab off someone else at the same time. Unfortunately the Combo II head developed an intermittent fault with it cutting out, or volume dropping every so often. Interestingly the seller never replied to my messages about it.... It is not a 'regular' fault - it wouldn't happen every time it was used, more like once every 2 - 3 times - but just enough that I ended up carrying a spare amp head with me just in case. Sometimes the volume dropped really low; other times it would cut out entirely. It wasn't predictable which one it would be. I sent it to Real Electronics who said there was nothing wrong with it, but replaced all the pots and charged me £180 for the privilege (thread here): In the end I gave up with sending it back to Real only for them to charge me an arm and a leg again, so I bought a second-hand LMIII head and dropped it into the combo chassis. It's been absolutely fine since then. The Combo Head II ended up on a shelf. However, I've ended up with a pair of Barefaced One10s and a different head, so the MB stuff is now surplus to requirements. So, I am selling the following: CMD121P 1x12" combo - SOLD NY121 1x12" cab - SOLD Little Mark III head I have taken the LMIII out of the combo and reinstalled the Combo Head II. Ideally, I would like the lot to go as one (and I can reinstall the LMIII for anyone that wants it). The combo has a Hotcovers padded cover. The NY121 has a Roqsolid dust cover. I've unplugged the tweeter in the combo (a common mod) but I can reconnect it if you wanted. I'm thinking the following pricing: If you wanted the CMD121P with the LMIII head reinstalled (and the Combo Head II thrown in) - £450 If you wanted the lot: CMD121P + LMIII + NY121 cab - £700 If you wanted each bit separately: CMD121P w/Combo Head II (i.e. the original head with an intermittent fault) - £SOLD (so basically a 1x12" cab with a free head thrown in) NY121 cab - £SOLD LMIII head - £250 + £15 postage I'll include a Speakon to jack with a female to female adaptor so any head can be used with the CMD121P as a 'normal' cab (it has a male jack wired into the speaker for use with the Combo Head II). I very much want to sell it all together so happy to consider reasonable offers for the lot. if someone takes the combo and cab but doesn't want the amp, happy to sell that separately but not until the other stuff has gone. Edit: I've some interest for each item separately, so it sounds like that may be the best way to go, so happy to consider offers for each part separately. Collection only in Bath or surrounds - happy to meet reasonably locally (Bristol, M4ish etc). Not really looking for trades ATM other than a Helix Stomp as PX against this stuff. With finger (not included) Why couldn't he have stuck the sticker on the rear panel!! Oh, another finger. CABLE NOT AVAILABLE

    Yep, I'll take my box-a-crap(TM) with me!
  18. Jakester
    Thanks, hadn't thought of that at all - it's a QSC TM16, so six mono auxes - so that would probably work, and I can take an IEM straight from one of the two stereo aux feeds. Perfect, and means I don't need to buy any more kit!

    Morning all, I'm doing a few dep gigs with a band on drums over the next few weeks, and at rehearsal we were briefly discussing stage setup, when they asked what monitoring I liked to use. I said I tend to use my IEMs, at which their faces dropped. Apparently they use an 'old-school' analogue desk which only has two aux outs; one which is configured for the singer (so has mainly vocals), and one is used by one of the other guitarists for his own IEMs. They asked whether 'stage sound' (i.e. the backline output from the bass and guitar amps) would be okay; I said without actually being on stage with them and playing, I didn't know. I was wondering whether there was a quick and dirty way of overcoming this; I have my own digital mixer, and I wondered whether a mic splitter might the solution? If I can split the feeds from the mics (I'm assuming two vox, two guitars and a bass DI) and run them into my mixer, along with the drums; I can give them a drum feed out from one or two of the auxes from my mixer (if they want stereo) but still mix the incoming mics to my IEMs. Would this work in theory? If so, would y-cable splitters do, or do I need a 'proper' splitter box?

    Thanks, that’s all really useful.

    Right, apologies in advance, I am VERY crap when it comes to electrical engineering. I have been asked whether a portable battery with an “1800w output” will be sufficient to power a PA and bass and guitar amps for a gig. The spec suggests it has a 1024Wh capacity and 1800w output with a ‘surge’ capability of up to 2700w. The PA comprises 2 Yamaha DXR12s and a DXR10 monitor. We might also use a Stagepas200 as a monitor too. My amp is a CMD121P and guitar amp is 50w valve amp. The Yamaha specs suggest a power draw of 110w per speaker. I can’t find equivalents for the bass or guitar amps. There’s a digital mixer too. My instinctive reaction is it isn’t going to be enough for 2h of performance at sensible (I.e not loud) levels but I don’t know how to work it out - can anyone assist?
  22. Jakester
    Used to use these in a band years ago. Great little monitors. I'd have them if I wasn't the other side of the country!

    Ah, I would love to do this for you but I'm not free, sorry! Do drop me a line in future though if you need someone.
  25. Jakester
    Excellent. The old desktop kept crashing on my M1 Mac, so hopefully eventually it'll be a bit more stable!
