yorks5stringer Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Exciting news, just received the MARK BASS donation, courtesy of Proel UK and Bass Gear Ltd ( your local Mark Bass Stockist). It's a Markbass Super Booster, shop price around £110 [attachment=75722:tn1_24891.jpg] The VLE ( Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) filters out high frequencies to give you a mellower, less modern sound. The VPF ( Variable Pre-shape filters ) boosts lows and highs , and cuts mids giving you a powerfull rock sound. Boost gives you just that.. -Markbass filters -Booster -XLR DI output -True Bypass Edited March 25, 2011 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had right good time last year though, so I'll look forward to it! [/quote] Glad you could come along, I wondered if you might given who is our Speaker!

yorks5stringer Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Any other donations from attendees would be welcome, like that battered old Fender you never play and is stored "under the bed"? All helps raise ££ for musical charitees. P.S. Anyone who wins one of the Raffle Prizes from Hartke, Mark Bass or Dunlop Strings should agree to having their photo taken for publicity purposes. This helps boost the profile of the Bash and so keeps the Sponsors sweet! Edited March 25, 2011 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive tone and it coupled really well with my Barefaced Super Twelve. Damn, damn, damn..... It also sounded superb with the Jazz/Precision and Bergantino HS 210 cab that WoT had there. The sound of Keiths upright bass - lusciously warm but with great definition. Scott Devine demo'd some useful tips on progressing your playing, ably helped by... <fatal memory pointer error - see Mrs Snicks as she knows and remembers everything> If anyone in the photos on the link above wants to write their own captions just PM me and I'll bung 'em in. Note that the shot I had lined up with Keith's head just under the 'hat' of Manhattan didn't work. Someone moved just before I took it didn't they?
