    Now OFF hold and available again.
  2. markorbit
    It's the MONO version. Thanks for asking.
  3. markorbit
    If anyone is interested I have one for sale in the classifieds. Abandoned effects-laden project means it's surplus to requirements.

    There's something about the 'script' logo bridges that just look so classy. The monorails are 'better' but this is the definitive Status look IMO. I briefly considered buying it at the time but funds aren't quite what they were and there are plenty of exciting synths available as well.

    Bump. Still available.
  6. markorbit
    Bump for added pics.

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1442258605' post='2865609'] The gist is that it is indeed "all that". I am massively loving the IP. [/quote] I had an IP but read so many reviews saying it's picky on preamps that I didn't know if I was coming or going. Glad the B|AMP won't have that baggage.

    I look at the 'speaker matching' feature as an added bonus for those that want it. Otherwise it can be just as happy being a simple amp with a 4-band EQ. I'm sure it'll be a nice amp either way.

    I find that nylon strings work well with graphite necks. Real pure tone - some may find it clinical but I like it.

    NOW SOLD. THANKS FOR LOOKING. I bought this for a recent effects-laden project that didn't come off so it hasn't even left the house. As new... Markbass MultiAMP. I have just updated the firmware to the latest v3 software. It has all sorts of amp models and effects built in including a tuner. I liked this approach as it means I didn't need to worry about any extra stuff in addition to plugging in the amp. It still has the protective film on the display. No marks and works perfectly. Contains lots of different high quality presets - LM3, BigBang, SVT etc. Comes with owners manual and rack ears. Not looking for trades although a Status Streamliner deal might be tempting. Thanks.

    I don't think there is a micro head on the market that will give you the real warm tone of a V4BH. Maybe the Aguilar TH500 is heading that way but it's still a long way short of an all-tube head. Another possibility is the SVT7 Pro - but nothing I've heard gets you that sound of a nice tube power stage.

    I had a lovely red one of these just like Leigh Gorman's from Bow Wow Wow. A very alive sounding bass. Goes without saying I wish I had kept it.
  13. markorbit
    Wouldn't mind this but other financial demands at the moment! GLWTS.
  14. markorbit
    Always wondered what these were like. Lovely bass. GLWTS.

    Maybe his black ones are in for a service or something? I would guess it's exactly the same amp. I think the JJ ones available to the public are tweaked a little.
  16. markorbit
    Current GAS for a Mesa M9 and Status Streamline 5. Yeah, it's like I never started over 30 years ago.

    I don't play fretless but do have an L2 and I've tried all the strings you mention with the exception of the S500L. Mine are the S500M and they sure thud and thump on the L2 In my experience the Status black nylons are easy to play, not too tight and the strings add a certain round wound clarity to the black nylon charecter. What I didn't like was how they thinned out as you got to the G string. Both in sound and feel. This is from memory, it's a while since I tried them. The La Bella S660 are the complete opposite - big and chunky, rounded attack with quicker decay - that description sounds quite appealing but I felt it was a little sterile on the L2. In the end I preferred the normal S500M flats which have a more articulated attack and don't lose the depth. And now I'm just trying some standard gauge rounds and realising I can get the action lower and it almost plays itself.

    I think there is a V3 software update on it's way before too long. Did they announce anything at Musikmesse?
  19. markorbit
    Very keen to try the Multiamp. It has everything I need except tremolo. Hopefully, that might get added. Can't be a complicated effect can it...
  20. markorbit
    Apparently the JJ is voiced slightly different to the MK in the preamp.

    I played one of these Lakin P basses recently and was very impressed with tone, fit and finish. All USA hardware, bone nut and nothing wrong with the headstock IMO. It has it's own appeal. A big plus is you can get at the truss rod. All basses should have easy truss access. I see these as a modern, practical and in some ways improved version of a classic design.
  22. markorbit
    I think this is a very cool amp for the home with the emphasis on classic looks, versatility and a clean (no wires) approach. I like the idea that you can stream bluetooth audio from a smartphone and just use it as a music system in bass downtime. Coupling that with wireless bass makes a very neat package IMO.

    I used to own a ProIIE and a Mk1 Custom years ago. I found the ProIIE more 'electric/active' sounding. Great with a pick. I preferred it.

    Now sold to a basschatter.
  25. markorbit
    Yes, that's what I did. Ordered direct from Japan.
