Markbass Classic 610 cab - Amp traded - Cab traded

I'm probably really going to regret this but due to complete rig/setup change I've decided to put this exceptional rig up for sale .. no longer have a van so am going down the compact route so as to fit in hatchback. Actually no longer in a band or gigging (maybe just occassional jam).

I have owned both amp & cab from new (still have receipts) have had custom (astroboard) flight cases esp made for them so are immaculate .. cab front just has butterfly locks (on front panel so no chance of vibrating when playing (loud)) & comes off easy. Total overall cost £3535 .. this rig has only been rigged about 4-5 times though used in rehearsals without a glitch.

A BCer asked about how this amp sounds, this is what I told him 'difficult to describe the sound but when I went to Electromusic to check out the Ampeg SVT VR vs Hiwatt I also tested them against the Laney Nexus all tube head ... all nice but all big & heavy .. I noticed the Markbass in the corner & thought I might as well try it too ... well it just blew the others away at the time .. notes (harmonics) just seemed to pop off the fretboard when I just tapped the strings, so warm & musical but with that valvey goodness, very 'alive' sounding .. there was just something magical about it & I new that that would be the one .. a total no brainer (except the price) coz it almost half the weight & quite a bit smaller plus the micro management meant no worries if a tube blows it'll still work / re-bias etc ..' only negative I'll give this amp is the fan, it works great but it's the variable kind so increases / decreases etc but can be a bit noisy (you don't hear it at any decent volume tho)

I'd consider trading for quality amp head, not really after class D & rather not too big but not bothered about lightweight, pref something that sounds good at low volume, prob + cash my way (will split also) or trades that I can sell on pretty easy also considered.

Pickup from Bingley/Bradford...................[b]price reduced ! .. now £2000 [/b](open to offers)

Half the weight of SVT (21.8kg) & quite a bit smaller .. goes down to 2Ohms & auto tube biasing (works even if a tube blows according to manual but has never happened)

cheers

Cab weighs about 35kg (with flightcase but that is very light as it's mainly astro board) ... afraid I've no use for the Compact as good as they probably are (I used to have a S12T) .. I would only have to sell it on & probably would not give you what you'd want for it ...
