Mark Bass CMD102P - nobs and stuff?

[Moody]

So, after a lot of "hmmms" and "ahhhhs" I decided to get me self one of these:

It's a Mark Bass CMD102P and it sounds awesome! Just love the tone on it, fantastic. Massive Cheshire Cat grin!

Anyway, I know there's a couple of you lovely people on here who own the same unit. So, I've been fidling with the nobs and stuff, however, I was wondering if anyone had any recommended settings I can give go? I'm quite keen to see what I can get out of it and see what suits the particular stuff we do.

I have the LM2 head and the front ported 2x10 cab - so effewctively the same thjing.


I have all the EQ on 5 (treble at 7 if I'm using a fretless) and then just tweak the voice controls to the room.

I know I already let you know what I set mine at, but it's good to see what other folk set their amps at & try em out.

Obviously it is gonna sound different with each bass & how the instrument is set.

Here's my settings at present for all to see:

mid-bass knob turned back very slightly from flat & the rest of the eq on flat and set the two filters to about 1 (if you count the dots 0-6)

Input gain set at about 2 & master out set to whatever is needed, which has never been above 2 yet!

wow! thanks guys, I've been offline till today - so apologies for not getting back sooner, I'm back home tonight so will give them all a bash.

Decided it is rather like a new girlfriend - can't keep my hands off it!

I too use Yamaha BB414, am thinking of CMD 121H any thoughts. I see many go for the MB head and then add speakers of there choice

Unfortunately my BB414 sounds sh*te through MB gear.As its such a "honest" amp it really makes a £200 bass sound exactly that.
Keeping the MB gear and selling theBB414 is my only option.
