Good bag/backpack to carry a Markbass head in?
franzbassist replied to franzbassist's topic in Accessories and Misc
Thanks guys, yes I have been looking at Gator, Magma and UDG too. I was thinking of getting the Gator G-Club Control at £39, but then I remembered I have this! And it's perfect! -

Now that is a good shout, especially as I forgot I already have one I’m not using!!!!! Edit: Takes all I wanted to put in it and more. Perfect. -

Thanks Frank. Yes, tool bags could be a good option! Also military bags. Thinking laterally now... -
Hello all I own a Markbass Little Marcus 800 amp and am looking for a good bag to carry it in. I currently use the Markbass-bag, but I can only really fit the power cord and a speaker lead in that, so I am trying to find something that will give the amp a snug, secure fit, and also allow space for a few extra items (at least 1 x rolled guitar strap, speaker cable, power lead, instrument lead, tuner, patch cable, small tool kit). Any suggestions?

Sounds amazing here.

Received a new bass in it but I never use hard cases so up for sale. Absolutely 100% mint (Although it doesn't have the Gator badge on it for some reason). Stock photo below... Plywood Outer material: Artificial leather External dimensions (HxWxD): 122.56 x 41.91 x 11.43 cm Inside dimensions (LxWxH): 119.38 cm x 33.02 cm x 9.53 cm Weight: 6.52 kg Colour: Black Best price I can find online is £70 posted, so I am asking £55 posted or £50 collected from Alton or Portsmouth.

Trading down to a combo - advice appreciated

Good spot. Now corrected. -

franzbassist replied to Storky's topic in Amps and Cabs
I wouldn't say a combo is trading "down", it's just different. There are some superb combos out there. As has been said, separates are more flexible in many ways, but in some situations a combo could be a better option. The Markbass Alain Caron Lite would be a good choice here (500+300 bi-amp combo, 36lbs), if you were absolutely set on a lightweight but loud combo, but I'd agree that getting a really nice powerful head would be a better option. -
A real workhorse cab. Good to very good condition. No badge on front. Roqsolid cover. IMPEDENCE 8 ohms SPEAKER SIZE 2x10" BASS PORT rear TWEETER piezo POWER HANDLING 400W RMS (AES Standard) CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 3.5 kHz FREQUENCY RESPONSE 45 Hz to 18 kHz SENSITIVITY 101 dB SPL WIDTH 23.4 in. / 59.4 cm HEIGHT 13 in. / 33 cm DEPTH 17 in. / 43.3 cm ACTUAL WEIGHT 17.8 KG / 39lbs These seem to go for £280 on BC, so that's what I'm asking. Collection from Alton or Portsmouth, but I also make frequent weekend trips to Cardiff. Reason for selling: I have recently acquired two NY121s, which are a better match to my fretless and upright.

One for each bass, coloured to match, width appropriate to weight, and all slightly different lengths to suit the ergonomics of each instrument.

If you like the MB stuff I would highly recommend the STD102HF as an alternative to the TRV102. It's not that much bigger, size-wise, but sounds huge!

franzbassist replied to Ghost_Bass's topic in General Discussion
I have -10, -17 and -26 filters and swap them as necessary according to the volume anticipated at the gig. Bassbod's comments are spot on. -
Hello Martin! You were an absolute legend at The Bass Centre and helped me part with a lot of money over the years! Hope you're keeping well. Are you still out in the Middle East? Cheers Gareth M

Franz bass guitars in Germany use a lot of thermo-threated, locally-sourced woods. The treatment makes for wonderfully light, resonant instruments! Both my Franz 5s have thermo ash necks with walnut stringers. This is the fretless And this is the fretted, which also has a thermo ash body. And the fretless also has a thermo maple top.
