Cheers PeteB I’ve had it repaired and it’s bloody lovely. I ordered the power board from Sheffield and had it installed locally. Cost me £150. Love the Markbass sound...

I've had it repaired Roger. It is the nuts. I love it. Japan Axe lent me his Big Bang for a couple of days and it sounded great. Well happy, I am........!!!

I’ve just ordered a new power board from Sheffield and I’m having it installed locally by an amp tech here. I’ll keep you posted.

Hehe......!

Thanks Franz

Were you in a film with Nicole Kidman?

Right, I’m doing it. Thanks Guys.

I totally agree buddy. I’d just never played anything Markbass before that was all. I was originally just after a 410 cabinet.

Thanks buddy. That is a really nice shout. I was in Hyde Park, working, only the week before last.

Yes mate, she’s a ripper. 1969 Tallframe. It matches the Markbass.....! Not intentional....!

Hello guys and gals...... Here’s a request you don’t see often. I just bought a Markbass 310 combo. The amp doesn’t work and needs a £200 board replacement, apparently. Is anyone out there near Swindon, willing to lend me a Markbass amp to confirm whether I should pay to get the amp repaired? I wouldn’t want it for long. It would only be for home use. I could pay for a fine slab of beer in return. The vendor of the Markbass cab has plugged my Mesa head into it without its transformer connected..... sob, sob....... Sonetimes you’ve gotta ask..... It does actually sound cheeky on paper to be fair. Anyway, May the force be with you all... Chewie

Just spoke to them and they predict a board needs replacing...... £200 round trip to Sheffield for the amp. Mmmmm.... Markbass.......

Thanks Jus....... fingers crossed.

Thanks buddy

Cheers Ikay. Much appreciated.

Hello everybody, I’m looking at a Markbass 310 combo tomorrow. Not the MM one. The amp doesn't come on in the combo. The guy says he’s tried changing the fuse to no avail. It keeps blowing the fuse. Does anybody out there know how to fix this? Much appreciated,

Yes matey. I’m hearing that. I can put even more cards on the table and say the bass in Fantastic by Wham! is a big love of mine too.

I was a Level 42 fan and a Chili Peppers fan so I had no chance!!!

You ain’t wrong there. Like Boy Racers snd Djokovic!

Yeah, Larry Graham. Definitely. What a beast. I mean, he needed that percussive part, originally. I wouldn’t want him taking my girlfriend to the pictures though......!

Thank you sir......

Yeah, it’s that. Thank you.

Hi there, guys and gals...... Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a replacement nut for my Classic Stingray.....? Much appreciated.

Evening guys and gals, I know it’s rarely suitable in a band situation. I know it’s far from everyone’s cup of tea. I know it’s difficult to eq. I know some people can’t get out of E when they do it but crikey, I love it. I remember when I first slapped a groove and I actually drooled....! I remember coming home with Freaky Styley on vinyl and listening to some of Flea’s maniacal grooves and thinking, “What the Dickens!” My first super slap tone was a Squier jazz bass and a Fender amp which lit up red at the bottom...! Any slap tales out there? What’s your favourite rig/set up? Who sucks, who’s amazing? This YouTube video blew me away back in the day......!
