steantval Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have just purchased a new Mark Bass rig to replace my trusty old Trace Elliot rig on the recommendation of one of the best bass players in my local area. It consists of a CMD102P Combo and a 151HF Cabinet. I am still playing around with the settings and have only used it once so far in a live gig situation playing classic rock covers, Free, Bad Co , Floyd etc. In the live situation I was well impressed with the bottom end grunt, but I still feel I may need to tweek the settings a bit more to give me an optimum sound. I would love to get some feedback, good or bad on your experiences with Mark Bass gear? Maybe some guidance on settings for playing Foreigner, Toto, Journey covers?

El_JimBob Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Before you start fiddling with the EQ, give the two filters (VLE and VPF) a little tweak - i've found them to be VERY responsive, and a quick way to try different sounds. Also, if the tweeter on the 15" is on, turn it down - it's too edgy, and not suitable for a 'classic rock' sound. Awesome looking rig - have fun! *Leo's basses all seen to sound awesome through Markbass gear, don't they (just spotted the stingray) - try a little boost in the low mids to help bring the grunt and growl of the humbucker through for all to hear!* Edited March 22, 2008 by El_JimBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 [quote name='steantval' post='161851' date='Mar 22 2008, 04:55 PM'][attachment=6739:P3210003.JPG][/quote] No advice on the rig - just a comment. I love the fact that you painted your walls to match your bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
