  1. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1411334273' post='2558589'] That's good, but can you stand about three inches to the left please..? [/quote] NO NO NO! 4 inches you untidy swine!!!!
  2. Well at best Mark, he only had a couple available pre built. With the amount of commissions he will have had little time to do anything else, and the pre built he had are all on here, bought by BC'ers. So guess at the moment he is just trying to keep up with commission builds
  3. Thanks lads, the cabs sounded even better at last nights gig Appreciated, Basschat massive!
  4. So I'm not the only borderline OCD regarding rig asthetics
  5. [quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1411230685' post='2557754'] Buy some new cabs [/quote] Give over I've only had these 5 days. Just got them from Barrie's gaff. Two gigs in two nights and loving them Stupidly on Fri night I mentioned the slight overhang and the other three have ripped the piss at every opportunity, HOWEVER they love the punch these cabs have.
  6. [quote name='Iain' timestamp='1411122409' post='2556638'] I've got the Big Bang and it's been faultless so far and has a great set of tones if you need to tweak. I use mine racked now but the size and weight were fantastic - just fitted into my gig bag nicely. Have it driving two Traveller siries cabs (12" & 15") and the gain's at about 10 o'clock and master never above 12 o'clock. It'd be nice to be able to switch out the VLE/VPF without a footswitch but that's the only grumble I've had. [/quote] This is what confuses me with the Big Bang. 1. Are the VLE/VPF on all the time and only switched OFF by the footswitch, or, 2. Do you need the footswitch to put them on or off? I tried a Little Rocker on Thursday and the VLE/VPF could be dialled up, or down to zero without a footswitch. I really liked the sound with the VLE at about 9 0'clock, that really helped the amp, for me. What I really didn't like with the Little Rocker was that the volume was really very disappointing until you put the valvey gain thingy on. I am going to be putting my Carvin up for sale, as it overhangs the 2 Markbass cabs (thanks again Barrie ), by an inch either side . Sad, yes, but I can see that overhang even looking into the eyes of the beauty in the audience
  7. [quote name='barkin' timestamp='1411207262' post='2557474'] I don't really follow your description, but I'd guess it's attenuation in dB's, from zero (full on) to infinity (the 'double zero' - fully off) [/quote] Cheers barkin, infinity, 00, never twigged that I'm old, why couldn't they just write "off"
  8. That would be the 00 bit then. I did last night's gig with them at noon position . Annoyingly rather liked the sound even though it was a crap gig. Will put them at 00 for tonight's gig, which thankfully I know will be a lot busier. Many thanks Lozz, hope you are ok Mr.
  9. I've never knowingly used tweeters although I seem to remember a couple of cabs I have had, have had them. So, simple question from a thicko. My recently acquired Markbass 2 x 10's both have tweeters. Staring from the sort of 7 0'clock position on the tweeter dial, they are marked with a double zero, the left hand side signs going from 18 to 5. At the noon position they are marked -dB On the right hand side they are marked 3 at the sort of 1 0'clock position, down to 0 at the 5 o'clock position. Can somebody please advise me which position is off? Cheers in advance, Karl.
  10. Crap. Pub that had stopped doing Friday night's started doing them again. Maximum of 20 people at best. First set nowt but problem's with one of guitarses pedals, and his response was to fiddle when he should have been soloing I spent much of the first set staring at my complicated amp wondering how to get the best out of my new (to me) Markbass cabs. Thankfully tonight is a gig where we know a lot of locals are coming to see us.
  11. [quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1411145349' post='2556956'] It doesn't matter where it was made, it has NO bearing on the quality... These are absolutely brilliant amps. MSL were generous enough to lend me one of these for a few weeks when the LM2 in my combo was in for repair after being fried by the dodgy wiring in a pub. To my ears it has a warmer tone than the LM2/3, and with a headphone socket and aux input it is so much more versatile. I am currently considering changing my setup and may use one of these, but not quite ready to do it yet! Good luck with your sale! [/quote] I am very interested in this. I make no comment about the quality. I asked simply because I am a magpie gear whore. I think the resale will be better for Italian than Indonesian. That would probably be important to me in a few months
  12. I have a Skyline Bob Glaub plus £50. But you aren't wanting one of them Bump, lovely bass.
  13. Stunning jazz bakerster, well done that man! Does a bit of a good job that Mark fella
  14. Oh, why not. And mine was about 7 weeks after placing order. [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0644_zpsdde44cfc.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0644_zpsdde44cfc.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  15. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1410944447' post='2554819'] Bit delayed, but it's here and awesome! Photos very soon, I promise!... [/quote] Tease!
  16. [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1409754747' post='2542984'] Cheers guys Cosmo, id be the first to recommend. Well maybe 3rd or 4th behind Discreet and Karlfer [/quote] Oh yus
  17. [quote name='shemeckfrac' timestamp='1410545678' post='2550684'] screams quality ! [/quote] Thank you shemeckfrac, some might say they are a Fender like Fender should make them. OOOH, excited edit. Most of you will know this, but I didn't. Think if you click on one of the pics, it takes you to photobucket, then you can zoom the pics to much bigness
  18. I don't know really but I thought all these kind of products had to have country of manufacture. I ask because a lot of Markbass equipment is now made in Indonesia. Places I would guess to look; 1. Label on top of amp. 2. White label, back of amp, right hand side. 3. White label partly hidden by fan cover. 4. The original box the amp came in. Cheers, Karl.
  19. I am assuming this is long gone?

  21. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1410776110' post='2552873'] Just snagged a blonde piggy-back Bassman after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my stuff out for a pic, so we have 3 x bass and rigs to add to this porn thread; '52 Precision and '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision and '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz and '63 Bassman [/quote] Incredible Rick
  22. Alain if it was fretted 4 strings, but you don't need to know that do you SEI's all seem to be amazing creations and Alain is a top dood. What more do you want. Good luck Mr, somebody with fretless skills is going to become ecstatic.
