[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1376600958' post='2176810'] TI Jazz Flats are nice, low tension flatwounds but expensive. D'addario Tapewounds are flat feeling and low tension, and I rather like them. [/quote] I agree with you on the D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewound strings. I use them on my 4003 with no problems. My intonation is right on also. I love the sounds, and they don't beat up the fretboard, or frets.

I'm totally into the Ric now. I do believe they're like any other bass. The right strings, and amp for it, and for the player too. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZCUBErG.jpg[/IMG]

Even with short fingers, I play the long scale cleaner. I'm locked in on long scale basses. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WrGJkMB.jpg[/IMG]

I had a few of the MB series, made in Vietnam. The sounds weren't to bad, but the quality wasn't there. The [b][url="/r/_ylt=A0oG7paABANSQw8A0okPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMTNuNTZzBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMgRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--/SIG=11ti93hjm/EXP=1375958272/**http%3a//www.ergoindemand.com/about-mdf.htm"]Medium Density Fiberboard[/url] didn't make it either. The speaker covers rattled, and the fan motors were way to loud.[/b]

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1375721565' post='2164764'] Gsgbass, what's the string tension like on these. I've got Rotos on mine, great sound but I find the tension a bit on the high side compared to the Slinkies on my P bass and Status hotwires on my Ray and Status.? [/quote] This is from the D'Addario site for the ETB92 Nylon Tapewound (long scale) strings.

My 4003 sounds great through Markbass gear. The first thing I did when I got my Ric home from the store was, change the strings. Some players have a hang up, or aversion to changing a 4003's strings. The D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewound strings fit into the nut perfect. Intonation was right on. The D'Addario ETB92 Nylon gauges are, (.50, .65, .85, .105) A good fit, and the Nylons put out a great deep flat string sound. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jMWwT6Z.jpg[/IMG]

Hi Lozz. The set up really does Kick. Nice to see another player using the same set.

My new Rickenbacker 4003 Ruby is on hold for me at the store. Now I just have to get up the rest of the cash, and pick it up.

This Markbass is very lightweight, and portable. A Mini CMD121P Combo, and a NY121 cab. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Imvq81f.jpg[/IMG]

Also on this day, 7/20/2005 James Doohan, "Scotty" from Star Trek died on the anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing.

I just traded an RH450 for a Little Mark lll. I haven't played through a [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Rocker 500, but I do like the sounds from the Markbass amps. [/font][/color]

I went to a 210 cab, from a 410 cab. I like the size, sound, and easier mobility of the 210. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pUx9f0Z.jpg?1[/IMG]

I'm just wondering if any other players with a short scale bass are using Nylon Tapewound strings. My Gibson SG Std. with Nylons.

I use this at home in an extra bedroom in the house. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/W6929Lp.jpg?2[/IMG]

Thank you gents. It only took me 44 years to get into a rig I won't part with. I do respect the design, and quality put in to the Markbass.

Sized to the Gibson SG Std. Light weight, and not oversized either. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9zqxv6U.jpg?1[/IMG]

I'm using one Traveler 102P 8 ohm, with a Little Mark Tube 800. I sounds great, even with a Gibson SG Std. bass. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kzvRvys.jpg?1[/IMG]

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1373830475' post='2142073'] You have some very tasteful gear. [/quote] Thank you. I went through some gear before getting in to the groove with the Markbass. For me, it just sounds soooo right on.

Hi guys. I recently went with this Markbass Traveler 102P cab. Light weight cab, well made, with Neodymium 10" speakers. The Markbass Little Mark Tube 800 is a small package with a big pay off too. the Traveler 102P cab: [color=#666666][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]WEIGHT[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]33 lbs / 15 kg[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]WIDTH[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]23.4 in. / 59.4 cm[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]HEIGHT[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]13 in. / 33 cm[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]DEPTH[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]17 in. / 43.3 cm[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]the Little Mark Tube 800 head[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]WEIGHT[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]6.31 lbs / 2.86 kg[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]DEPTH[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]10.1 in. / 25.6 cm[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]WIDTH[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]10.87 in. / 27.6 cm [/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]HEIGHT[/left][/size][/font][/color] [color=#020202][font=Georgia, Arial, Verdana][size=3][left]2.8 in. / 7.1 cm[/left][/size][/font][/color] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kzvRvys.jpg?1[/IMG]

The Markbass Little Mark Tube 800. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0kdKwfq.jpg?1[/IMG]

I found a very nice setup with a Markbass Little Mark Tube 800 head, and a Markbass Traveler 102P cab. Compact, light, easy to move around, and a great sound. I played them a few times in a local store, and was impressed by them. When I pieced this combination together with the Gibson SG Std. in the store, That iced it for me.

I like my 1.600" at the nut, with a 12" radius fretboard of the Gibson SG Std. bass. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1n1bS9D.jpg[/IMG]

I play a Gibson SG Std., and the top strap button is the major cause of it's neck dive of death.
