Yes my memory is spot on and also confirmed across the markbass forum. It was addressed in the second generation version..

I was about to push the button for a replacement when I got a call from Essex Amp Repairs - they fixed mine - they were as surprised as me.... 90 day warranty so I may be back! Just collected - 60 mile round trip and tested as working. Controller switch was the problem...

I seem to recall that the power modules were upgraded, due to known issues, in later versions of the CMD 121 / LMs - Any idea when that happened, please?

Likewise, apologies for delay in response. My buddies at Essex Amp Repair appear to be having problems making contact with distributor / parts. Transpires that I need a replacement power module......

Hi Guys - Anyone got the number for the UK distributor for spares? Need a replacement power module for my CMD121 combo, urgently! My regular maintainer is hitting challenges in making contact, so it seems!!

In order to protect my ageing limbs, I decided to buy a used CMD121 H which matched perfectly the power and presence of my trusted ashdown abm evo 3 + 2x12 GB NEO cab.. Immaculate as new condition, cosmetically and a bargain price of just £350.... However, the second gig I used it on, power died completely, halfway through first set. Had to daisy chain from my MFX pedal direct into the mixer / PA - horrible... Transpires that it is failing at the transistors stage (circled red in attached) so, given the nature of the construction, I have booked myself in to get a repair done at Essex Amp repairs, who I have used in the past. BUT, am I wasting time, effort and money, as the amp is 9 years old and who knows what the replacement elements will cost?? I also understand there was a known board problem with this amp (Combo Head 2) - anyone else aware of this and how was it resolved by Markbass? Back to Ashdown for the next series of gigs!! TIA Paul

This sounds fascinating - the sub n up I mean. Currently I use ME50b octave with distortion and chorus. Just too muddy for me. Go via Ashdown abm 500 rc evo 3 and genz Benz cabs (4x10 and / or 2x12). Great wall of sound but sometimes a little subtlety is needed!!

Hello all. I play in a 3 piece, as indeed many of us do.. when the guitarist branches out into a solo, I usually activate a touch of distortion to fill out the sound for the duration. Not perfect but it helps. My question is whether there's an fx out there that can better emulate a cleaner second power chording guitar while playing bass as opposed to dialling in distortion? P

Hi. Opinions sought re Mayones basses in general and Caledonius 5 string specifically!

Experienced and committed bassist with great gear, transport and vast, diverse repertoire into most genres - also backing vocals, some guitar and keys when suits... - excellent local gig contacts seeking new band. Current band winding down now after 4 years together so looking forwards to a new challenge / opportunity

Seamless and pragmatic transaction and the cab is superb! - many thanks Paul

Here are pics.. Swapped tort for mirror - looks cool!?

Must say build quality is v good and the only mod is it is now running a set of active EMGs instead of stock..[/size][/font][/color]
