nottswarwick Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) UPDATE - just spent a couple of hours messing about with it, and I am keeping it. I was finding it all a bit muddy and indistinct on the gig, so just hooked it all up, and mucked about with the settings. The thing I have found to get that "bite" is to boost the mids slightly at 2.5khz, and roll off the bass to about 9 o'clock. Suddenly it all tightened up nicely, and I think it will now be just fine. Next gig (on bass anyway - guitar tonight lol) is Friday coming so we shall see. Also now found that the overdrive on the STM is great (not what I had previously thought) so my MXR 80 Bass DI may be up for sale, assuming that the shop won't give me a credit not... Hi This is a great head. I expect you know all about it if you have got this far. It was a shop floor model purchased by me new not that long ago, and as such has a scratch on the top, but otherwise is it minty mint condition, and full working order. I currently use it into 2 Vanderkley 112 cabs and it sounds great, really good, but I have seen something I want to buy, so...

Looking for £430 plus postage, or you can come to try and buy in Nottingham, or meet up somewhere. Chris Edited August 12, 2012 by nottswarwick

karlfer Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Awww, bless, a match made in Heaven. Why do I never get it so easy
nottswarwick Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 OK, just ordered a second 112 cab, so sorted for cabs. Head wise, I fancy trading for ABM500, or maybe back to a Markbass head. 2 different beasts, but I am now getting my warmth and OD from a MXR Di pedal, and used to enjoy the Markbass clarity??
vindi Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Hi I'm looking to get something light weight like a Genz to put my thumb bass through but but can only do trade & a bit of cash at the moment any interest in my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183054-peavey-mk-iv-1980-american-made-amp-peavey-black-widow-115bx-4ohm/"]Peavey MK IV 1980 American made Amp + Peavey Black Widow 115BX 4ohm[/url] rig?

morgano Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Hi Chris, I have a Markbass LMK in excellent condition (was the 2 channel version of the LMII). Would you be interested in a trade? Regards, Jeremy
morgano Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I bought it in August 08, but it has led a fairly sedate life (Big Band jazz mainly). It has always been kept in a Markbass gig bag. It also has the (expensive) transformer DI upgrade installed.
nottswarwick Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 OK, see first post for updates and pics and price - £430 plus postage please.
nottswarwick Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 I am a bit annoyed with myself as I keep changing my mind on which direction I want to go in - I am currently thinking about cutting down on the gear I use - I play guitar in another band, and acoustic guitar in a duo, and I would love to have a single "power" solution for all these, with a different "front end" as it were. SO I am also exploring pre/power options. Wish I had been able to buy the Avalon U5/Crown set up that was on the for sale board yesterday. So, straight sale, or trade for power or pre amps
