Gigged my Markbass CMD102P combo for 7 years-replaced the tweeter once,but other than that it's been faultless. Used it with a Traveler 15p extension cab for a while,but settled on a Traveler 102 in the end. Over the last 25 years I've owned amps from Trace,Ampeg,Roland,SWR,Marsall,pretty much every thing that's out there in some form or other. I had a brief flirtation with TC a couple of years back-to my ears I found their cabs sounded closer to the old Roland "modelled" sound with a slightly artificial-sounding high end-though I did get a nice tone from a RH450,an EBS cab and a passive jazz that was provided for a gig I did a while back. I tend to use my Jazz bass with Status neck /East pre for my "standard" gigs,and it sounds fantastically balanced.Also sounds great with my old passive Yamaha fretless,and my active Jaydee-three totally different beasts,sonically. It's the only amp that I've ever owned that I can honestly say I see no reason to change. Totally relaible,sounds great,plenty of tone,plenty of on-stage power,weighs nowt....(or it did 7 years ago ha) As usual with anything to do with music and personal taste,it's horses for courses...but it's MB over TC all day for me.

Picked up a lovely Jaydee from Gary today..been a bit of a busy few weeks for me but Gary was totally cool about us eventually (!) being able to meet up and, went out of his way to help get the deal done.Top man,deal in total confidence. Steve
