I guess there could be more suggestions if we knew what type of music you play, what 'sound' you are after, what Bass you have etc etc. If you want a dirty overdriven sound then the Markbass probably is not for you. Me I love my Markbass gear and the sound suits me fine. Others will suggest their GK gear which is equally valid. I had a LMII and LMIII with a Traveller 210 cab and it was great, light, small and punched well above its weight. I now have a MB CMD121p which is even smaller. It's actually a better deal to buy a combo in that if you buy a LMIII it's around £400 new and a 210 cab is £370 for a Traveller or £430 for a standard cab so around about £800 in total. The equivalent combo is £700.

Just sold a Fretless 5er to Mike. Great comms. and instant payment, trade with him with confidence.

There's a thread about it somewhere, let the search engine be your friend!

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1443479516' post='2875192'] Did this happen before then!? [/quote] Not at a Bash but I rehearse there and some locals we knew decided to sit in and listen, then when our backs were turned one nicked an FX that was not in use. Having made it clear the Bill would be involved it turned up the next morning outside the skittle alley, left in the rain....... Am sure this would not be an issue at a Bash mind but we could not believe he sat there for maybe an hour and waited until we were all distracted to nick it!

You've missed a year, nothing new to report on here...a few have left and a few have joined. Welcome back!

I thought the Sub Editor/Editor was meant to sort out all the inconsistencies.........? I'll declare my hand by saying the BGM is usually chock full of inconsistencies, the other month they talked about a Barefaced cabinet in a review having the dark cloth, the photo was a stock one used in BF adverts showing silver cloth and more recently they re-printed a PR piece from G&L about their new Bass and left the price in $. Really useful! That said I'd be surprised if BGM was much more than 1 man and his dog. There have been loads of suggestions on the BGM (and offers of help) too. I guess it's difficult to take on offers of (unpaid) help without creating a less than professional image?

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1443453535' post='2874819'] You could try searching for him on Join My Band and contacting him on there. He uses the same user name on that site as well. [/quote] Shouldn't that be "Join My Banned"?

Sad loss and unusually a Master of Sax and Bass.

I'm sure I could make the Ashcott, just make sure certain local undesirables don't ask if they can come in and look ( and walk out with FX pedals)!

I use one of these with my MB combo: [attachment=201685:4259_1.jpg]

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1443204757' post='2873132'] look here I could pay £80 for a deko!

Saying it has a tiny mark (like a D!) is not the same as saying it was "sold as decoration only". He should effin well say what it is and not pretend the deco stamp is a mark.

Not that I've ever seen a WAL advert in BGM, but unfortunately they cannot afford to upset Advertisers, so you never really see a review that is anything less than gentle in any criticism it may have. Having said that, a badly setup or made Bass should never be sent out for review anyway. Car Manufacturer's Press Fleets are specially prepared for that reason.

I may have said this before , but the postage is very reasonable as it must weight 15-20 kg?

[quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1443186734' post='2872939'] Are any deko owners having buyer remorse? My acoustic fretless 4 is nice and the only work that needs doing is the high action / nut slot deepening..... Fighting with myself whether I can justify keeping it (too many basses, and others are objectively better instruments)!!! Anyone else have this "problem"? [/quote] I bought myself a Mark Bass CMD121P combo (secondhand) so the Prog 5 String that I defretted has just gone to pastures new as I realised that I'd never really need a fretless.......! Mind I don't really need 4 items of Mark Bass Soundgear either.
