fretmeister Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've just acquired a Mark Bass CMD 102p combo and I like it very much indeed. The tweeter is a bit OTT (I usually turn them off / fully attenuate) but the 102p doesn't have a control on it. Would it be safe just to disconnect the tweeter, or would there be other wiring needed? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thank you! I've buggered about with my EQ settings a lot and it is much better already, I may see if I can live with it for the moment. Haven't used my stupid pedal board with it yet. It does sound glorious though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I found the tweeter a little too bright when I first got mine. Take the VLE up to about 10 o'clock & see if that helps (that's where I found suits me best & the treble at @ 11 o'clock). When you get your pedals into action you may notice a difference there too.
