I bought the 500w amp frame, solid state pre-amp, blank eq section and master with VLE & VPF filters. I later swapped the pre-amp for the tube one. Couldn't have been easier - ordered pre-amp from Mark at Bass Direct Friday morning, it arrived Saturday morning and was in place 10 minutes later. Oh, and the amp is a joy to use by the way.

This one, cause it came preloaded, but I do intend to replace the eq with the graphic when I can afford it.

Nice. What does MF stand for? I assume it's for when you "need some more m*****f****** low" etc. :-)

I'm really tempted by these recently...

Do they have that updated built in limiter that was supposed to go in the LMIII? I've been really annoyed with my F1 recently, it's an amazing amp but since I've been getting stronger I've been brickwalling it constantly which really spoils my sound. Last gig I played I went DI from pedalboard and was the best sound i EVER had ... Anyway i'm rambling...

I would go for something fairly simple, but I'd try a tube pre, and have a SS pre spare in my bag in case i get clumsy and break the preamp valve :lol:

American Guitar Centre are selling off all the display MoMark stuff from their tower and I think Bass Direct have 20% off at the moment.

MarkBass have been offering MoMark kit at a discount for a while now.

Once you've lashed out for the basic chassis the individual modules can be really quite cheap.

I used one of the solid state 800 pre-built units a few times. Sounded great though a 4x10 + 2x10 stack :)

Hey man, did you notice any difference in the built in limiter circuit compared to the 'regular' Markbass heads?

Can't say that I really noticed any obvious limiting going on with the MoMark, just felt 'loose' and powerful - not sure if this helps, lol.

Actually, it does :lol:

I notice you're now running an LMII and TRV102P, would you say it IS noticeable with that setup?

The honest answer is that I haven't used it enough to really tell. I picked up an old '67 Ampeg B15N and have been pretty much using that all the time recently.

I'll try to have a blast on the LMII soon :)

I don't blame you to be honest ;)

Yeah I'm just considering the possibiliy of 'upgrading' to a MoMark system if the upgraded bi-band limiter is less likely to cramp my style! In the meantime I'm gonna experiment with turning the input gain down LOTS!
