strtdv Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Picked up a mint condition Markbass CMD121P mk2 today for the bargain price of £270. The guy selling was great to deal with and the amp sounds awesome (although having worked late this evening I haven't got to properly turn it up yet). I think I got a pretty good deal, now I just have to sell my old Warwick Sweet 25.1 as per my self imposed "one in one out" policy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sounds like a cracking deal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strtdv Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm very pleased with it, got a chance to wind it up properly today. I can't believe an amp so small and light can sound so good and produce so much volume and bottom end. The tweeter is very hissy though and TBH I'm not a huge fan of tweeters on bass amps, so I've disconnected it as per other threads on this forum. Gumtree has had quite a few bargains recently, I now have picked up a hardly used Warwick Thumb Bolt On 5er and a mint Markbass CMD121p for a grand total of £770 Obligatory rubbish mobile phone photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Congrats, they`re great little amps, much more powerful than they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Good hunting Sir! Nice little amp (and bass) you've got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Amazing deal!!! By the way, the "Combo Head II" is essentially the LM3 head, not the LM2 as one might imagine. In other words, it's the current version. £270??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strtdv Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I didn't realise that! I saw the II and presumed it was the same as the LMII. Much quieter in terms of hiss now the tweeter isn't connected. It would be nice if it was switchable though as in a live situation you might like a little more treble response than just the speaker gives you and the hiss would be less troublesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Add a NY121 to add mega punch, plus some tweeter hiss if you want it (you can go from zero to full on on the cab) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interpol52 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 You just beat me to this! I texted him on the morning of the day you went round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strtdv Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 He told me 8 other people had contacted him after I did. It had only been listed for about 30 minutes, I almost hesitated due to my general rule of selling the old before I buy anything new, but figured it would be gone if I didn't move quick. I have to say I'm loving it, and I can confirm that Febreeze works wonders for getting tobacco smoke smell out of bass amp carpet covering. Interpol52, if you happen to want a Warwick bass amp, I know someone who is selling one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
