[quote name='Subthumper' timestamp='1357816451' post='1928767'] Hi all, I've been asked to replace some blown drivers in a markbass 4x10. Does anyone know who or where sells them? Cant seem to find much other than the markbass website which doesent seem to deal with customer support. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Just [/quote] PM sent

gone to 'Jabba the Gut' as long as we can get it to him... FREE......... Bugera 'Classic' Bass Series 10" Speaker 300 watt 4 ohm. Could be a spare for your existing Behringer cab. Taken out of a Behringer 2x10 cabinet that wasn't 'working'. However, on testing with a P9 battery to each speaker terminal, one speaker appears dead but the other one responded. I have not played through this one 'working' speaker as yet but if anyone is interested I can try and set it up with bass and amp. Collection or post to you at cost.

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1357434653' post='1922735'] Thanks guys adding some mouse mat to the sponge has worked a treat. The angle has partially corrected itself but I think I've sussed out why the neck pup is doing it, the pup is not dead centre in the cavity and is at a slight angle and I think it is sticking against the scratch plate as it's very tight, so at some point in the future (when OCD kicks in ) I'll reseat it correctly. Thanks again Tony [/quote] Springs?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1355962351' post='1905194'] Any. Assuming you arr talking about the 9v pedals. [/quote] yes the 9v pedals but, just like jack plugs have a slight size difference, noticeable especially if the jack socket is a stereo barrel type. I've been having a little trouble with power supply to EBS pedals on my Boss pedal board...

Can anyone tell me if EBS pedals would need EBS power distributor cables (the small ones not the actual mains plug) as sold by EBS or will any make do?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1352313948' post='1861547'] [font=Arial]Woohoo![/font] [font=Arial]It's taken 9 months to get this far but finally we can announce some improvements to the classifieds section! The new layout will include the following features/benefits.[/font][list] [*][font=Arial]Easier and more convenient to use (more attractive, less clicks to see price and pics)[/font] [*][font=Arial]It won't be possible to list an ad without stating a price (this means less monitoring for mods)[/font] [*][font=Arial]Gallery view means more visibility for ads and hopefully will help sell stuff more quickly.[/font] [*][font=Arial]Streamlined search facility means its easier to get relevant results.[/font] [*]Easily mark items as sold [*]Filter results for category, for sale/sold/exchange/all items [*]'Ask a seller' question function with automatic notification for seller [*]Easy image upload system [*]Mobile theme [*]Share listings on FB/Twitter/email etc. [/list] [b][font=Arial]Free access to the classifieds section for members will not be changing. [/font][/b] [font=Arial]You can view the test forum here:[/font] [font=Arial][url="http://isaaclewis2.invisionzone.com/index.php?/classifieds/"]http://isaaclewis2.i...p?/classifieds/[/url][/font] This is a good example of how an advert will look on its own page: [url="http://isaaclewis2.invisionzone.com/index.php?/classifieds/item/9-warwick-brand-new-with-case/"]http://isaaclewis2.i...-new-with-case/[/url] [color=#000000][font=Arial]We are planning on introducing the new format [/font][/color][b]on November 14th[/b][color=#000000][font=Arial]. That's next Wednesday.[/font][/color] [i][font=Arial][color=#222222]Using the new layout:[/color][/font][/i] [font=Arial]The process of listing an advert will be slightly different to posting a thread. Advertisers will need to complete fields and pull down menus rather than just post a topic. While this is more structured than before it will mean greater consistency in the information provided in each advert.[/font] [font=Arial]A small fee will be charged for using the gallery view feature. This is because we had to pay the developer to get the plug in installed and the forum isn't generating enough to pay for this, the development of drumchat and guitarchat as well as the usual maintenance upgrades and hosting. So whatever support you can offer by using this feature would be very much appreciated.[/font] [i][font=Arial]Transition from old to new:[/font][/i] [size=4][font=Arial][color=#222222]Unfortunately the old format can't be incorporated into the new format so there will be a[b] transitional period[/b] of [b]4 weeks after the new layout is introduced.[/b][/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=#222222]This is to help make the adjustment process as smooth as possible. The old classifieds layout will be closed and locked so those who have recently posted ads in the old format still get visibility OR enough time to repost under the new system. Once the transition period is over, the old classifieds will be [/color]archived but will still be visible.[/font][/size] [i][font=Arial]Subject to review:[/font][/i] [font=Arial]This is unchartered territory so we'll be reviewing how well the new layout is working and be making adjustments along the way. [/font][font=Arial]We've also been looking into whether we can retain a bumping facility. However the problem is that bumping isn’t part of the original classifieds plug-in and is likely to need custom coding. The question in our mind is...is it worth it? Especially since there will be up to 60 items visible per page.[/font] [font=Arial]We're waiting to hear back from the original developers of the classifieds plug-in on whether its technically feasible. But to be honest while[/font][font=Arial] some have found bumping useful, others have questioned it. Any thoughts or comments on the bumping feature?[/font] [/quote] At the moment I cannot get into any 'Topics' unless I just view "View New Topics".

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1345315141' post='1776257'] can you suggest some of the best octave pedals,, features, tracking etc... ive been looking at the MXR 288.. i dont have much experience with effects etc so would appreciate any thoughts cheers [/quote] Remember to check the mains power required. Most are 9v and also use 9v battery. Markbass octave pedal (very good) needs a 12v mains power supply but uses up a 9v battery rather quickly!.

[quote name='4StringFortress' timestamp='1352067777' post='1858451'] Ive noticed that my kickback 12 produces quite a bit of distortion when ever I start playing loud and hard, when im playing quietly I get the warm smooth sounds that im looking for for some of our songs but as soon as i start turning it up distortion starts to kick in, is this the natural sound of these amps or is this a problem? [/quote] I don't think they can be 'pushed' too much....possibly replacing with a better (!) speaker may help

[quote name='KaBuKiM' timestamp='1350666362' post='1842089'] Hi there, newbie Basschatter here. I have a problem with my MB Little Mark II, and I hope it's a small one. In order to define whether that's the case, I need some advice, so thanks in advance to everyone who helps. I have this amp for around 5 years now. Yesterday, while playing a gig in Camden the power went out onstage. It was down for about two minutes and then the owner pulled a plug somewhere and everyone's amps came back to life... except mine of course. So I played DI and back home opened the fuse box to find out the fuse is black inside. I switched to the replaceble one (it was there since I bought the amp) - switched on and... a small "click" sound was heard and the amp would not switch on. The second fuse was dead as well. I bought another fuse, a slow-burning one (or however they're called) and tried the same thing - this time nothing happens. At all! No sound, no lights, no fan. Tried with different cable and the same. The fuse dows seems intact now. So, my question is, am I completely screwed and should find a nice vase to put on top of the MB, or should I fix it (if the price is not completely bonkers)? If so, do you know any MB repairman around central-north London? (also, one zipper of the MB case broke before the show. It's completely irrelevant but c'mon world, find someone else to kick around! I'm a good person, leave my good karma alone!) Thanks again. [/quote] Just check also if there is a fuse inside the actual amp itself. Don't know how this may help if that IS blown as well. It sounds like there may have been a big power surge down the line. Maybe use one of those trip plugs next time there?

Excellent dealings with BassVentura this week, monies transferred very quick and even better, the P.O. reciprocated by delivering the amp to him within 24 hours. Good all round stuff!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349718075' post='1829583'] Sorted ok? [/quote] Yes sorted and many thanks for your input....

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349703390' post='1829282'] I take it the cabs are lying horizontally? Have you tried them vertically & does it have the same issue? It does seem rather odd. [/quote] tested them again today with a 4x10 as well. Needs the volume up a bit (!) to get the top end /horn to 'show', all very subtle but effective.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349691266' post='1829055'] Do the cabs have a dial on the side/back? [/quote] yes, the usual dials on each cab... turned full off then full on, the treble only appears to emanate off the right hand speaker.

[quote name='mybass' timestamp='1349643607' post='1828721'] I have both Markbass 2x10 HF and 2x10 Traveller cabs. The HF being a more recent addition, I checked it out on a gig and at home. (Facing the cabinet), when the horn 'level' is turned right around/up, it appears to add more top to the right hand speaker itself but doesn't affect the left hand speaker. The horn itself didn't appear to alter or actually give off extra top. This also occurs with the Traveller cab? Any prognosis appreciated. [/quote] Thanks chaps but........ The actual problem is that the horn does not appear to project the treble/top in either cab (different types of horns I know), it appears to radiate only from the right speaker in both cabs (looking at cab) and definitely not the left speaker. Thats my conundrum.
