    I don't use any pedals or effects. The main band is a rock covers band, we are loud, but not ear bleedingly so. Last night the TTE, gain was around 11.30, master around 9 o'clock and that was more than enough. EQ was bass cut a bit, mid cut a bit treble boosted a bit (all between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock on the dials). Colour bumped round to about 1 o'clock. Tweeters off on both cabs, I don't use them. With using the PUMA 500 for a long time (for me) it was always TASTE at 1o'clock, bit of cut on bass/low mids, bit of boost on high mids/treble. Gain rarely more than half way round, master usually around 10 o'clock. Lovely, clean, warm, deep sound. I always like to have gear much more powerful than I will need, never driven any amp past half way on master. Thanks again.

    Thank you Mr. discreet. I may only play 4 notes per night but I know how to make them count. How, does one shatter an arse? On second thoughts DO NOT ANSWER THAT

    Decided to go back to the simplicity of the wonderful Tec Amp PUMA. Ordered the 900 watt (4 ohms). Ten minutes later the dawning. My two Berg AE112 cabs are only 300 watt apiece, so obviously 6oo watts in total . Any ideas that don't end in buying more bloody gear? Yours, embarrassed muppet of Wigan.

    Right, enough, it has to be said. In the various places you have this advertised, your first paragraph states it's a P body with a J neck. It's not, it's a J body with a P neck. And if these things had a tone control, it would be mine GLWTS

    Couple of other folk wanting to do a deal on this head, but it's on hold for cash sale until Sunday thanks. Cheers, Karl. EDIT. That's spooky, matron has vanished from post #5

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1435849381' post='2813032'] If I may Karl..... These used, certainly in their initial build on the Italian models, analogue power modules from Bang&Olufsun which were later changed. I'm not sure which power modules they are using since changing production to the Far East. I'm sure others can shed more info [/quote] Yeah, Markbass eh , great gear, not so much with communications. Anyway, the 500 uses the analogue, the 800 uses the digital. Presumably to get the last 3db out of it. This is one of the very last to come out of the Italian factory, so not subject to any spec change from the original.

    Thanks Martin and Dave. On hold thank you.

    Thank you MB1 Response to you first below. I was asked if this was analogue or digital, the questioner not being wholly convinced of Markbass's accuracy on their website. Hopefully the second photo will help with that question. Appears to be silver objects behind each vent. Best I can do without opening it up, which sadly, with it being immaculate I'm not going to do. My hamfisted destroy it knack is legendary in Wigan [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/hattie-jacques1_zpscvtvyysm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/hattie-jacques1_zpscvtvyysm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/001_zpsndifkibm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/001_zpsndifkibm.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

  15. karlfer
    Not mine( sadly, one can but hope one day). Just in case anybody is looking for one. On fb, you may need to scroll down a good bit. Hope the link works https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/1003835842961377/?comment_id=1008973049114323&notif_t=group_comment_reply

    After listening to the delightful Mr West above, I will NEVER criticise our vocalist ever again. That was diabolical. Thank God Freddie finished it.

    Nope, just a bargain for superb quality lightweight cabs
  18. karlfer
    Erm, no
  19. karlfer
    Them Bergs are a steal at that price, especially with the covers included

    July 2014, one of the last Italian ones produced. Excellent, pretty much immaculate, condition with original box and Roqsolid cover. I am the only owner. This amp is loud. Oh so very loud. These (Italian) actually sold at £800 but now the Indonesian ones can be picked up for £570. No doubt the Indonesian ones will come up around the £400/£450 used. Specifications http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=183 I need £510 collected, or £530 including Roqsolid cover and UK delivery. Only trade would be an absolutely immaculate PUMA 900 with bag. I am simply going back to PUMA as I don't get on with valves. Just seem to be forever fiddling with EQ/Colour. With PUMA, I just set everything and left it. Any trial in Wigan, feedback at bottom of post, cheers, Karl.

    He was claiming it was a 78/79 bass, more than a decade before the Mex plant opened. Yet the "headers" were stating Mexican.

    The best has left us. Absolutely devastated.
  23. karlfer
    You may be running out of time peeps
  24. karlfer
    This is insane. I'm going to put this elsewhere so if you get some daft emails be patient. It's criminal this amazing piece of kit hasn't gone at this price.

    They must be really special Barrie, and let's face it, the basses that go through your paws, you would know I've had a couple of the US 75 RI and found them to be exceptional. Light weight, great sounds and playability. Only thing I wasn't keen on is they were pretty much all "natural". Might just keep an eye out for one of these 74's. Cheers for that.
