    I thought so but you seemed so sure. Also Gibson basses tend to have Grover USA tuners and these look like Grover mini bass so I still doubt Warwick had anything to do with the hardware.

    I don't understand your description of the pups, bridge and tuners? From the excellent photos they all look to be original Gibson parts and nothing to do with either Warwick nor Bartolini?

    This is a fantastic rig where you are getting a little mark 3 and two single 12" cabs for roughly £200 each! If I didn't have it already I would get this bargain for sure.

    Where from?

    What is wrong with the 15 cab speaker? Does it work at all? Cheers

    Have you fitted a lid panel as I didn't think the combo head had one? Thanks.

    Link to photos doesn't work for me.

    The unbranded 412 cab is a Sound City SMF Tour Series guitar cab. I used to own one along with a sound city 120 head. LOUD!!!

    Long rambling PM sent re covers for Markbass cabs.

    Thanks Armando. I am a big fan of Markbass heads from this era and own several including two SA450, a TA503 as well as a LM3 and many markbass cabs and combos so you can be assured I am not a time waster. I guess I just don't understand how you can describe an amplifier that is several years old as new ( the condition can be described 'as new') and offer a warranty unless you are an authorised Markbass dealer? All the same, I wish you good luck with your sale.
  12. Sparky Mark
    I didn't think Markbass had made this amp for several years, do you know which year it was made please as this could affect the warranty. Are you willing to let us know where you and the amp are situated? The country will suffice, thanks.

    Where are you? If it's never been plugged in how do you know if it works?

    Just bought some aged fender style parts from Paddy. They arrived very promptly in a box individually bubble wrapped to ensure safe transit. Paddy certainly knows how to pack things properly. Great communications throughout the transaction. Buy with confidence. Thanks Paddy.

    TE heads come up in the basschat for sale section pretty regularly. If you love the TE head you have keep your eyes open and buy another or a similar TE one. I have three MB heads for the same reason.

    Not wishing to derail this thread but why are the Barefaced Two10s available as either 4 or 12 ohms? [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm[/url]

    I recently made the mistake(?) of dragging my (relatively) heavy weight ceramic magnet speaker loaded Bergantino HT112ER and EX112ER cabs out of storage and trying them with my Bugera SVT copy and was amazed how great it all sounded. Tubes plus ceramic wins hands down in my recent experience but my back says MB LM3 plus my Bergs is my gigging rig.

    When I was swapping the output valves to test them I got to really dislike the sprung retainers. I did a bit of research and learnt that these can scratch the valve glass sometimes leading to premature failure. Ampeg has now reintroduced Birtcher style tube clamps to its Heritage SVT CL head and they are available as a retro-fit kit part number 2040884 which fit the BVV3000 perfectly too. So I bought them and fitted them without a problem. I have also provided dimensions to Phil at Hotcovers who has made a lovely padded vinyl cover for £39.50 delivered. Total cost so far = £369.53 for amp, plus £105.95 for spare set of six 6550 valves, plus £64 for valve clamps, plus £39.50 for cover = £578.98.

    You should probably add some photos as stated in the first post.
