thanks walbassist for the link...
funny i remember when LM3's were all the rage.. (said with thumb firmly in cheek)
just wondered why markbass have taken so long to bring out a 1000w version.

Do we know if it's class D or class A/B?


On a superficial note, I quite like the crazy green, much nicer than the LM3

I'd bet on Class D seeing as LM3 is now Class D.
Also it mentions "MPT" and here is the guff from the MB Website. He mentioned some time ago about developing his own Class D Power Amp.

[i][b]MPT[/b] (MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY)!
About all the bass amps on the market use the same power amp from different manufacturers, which are not specificically designed for bass.
At Markbass, [b]Marco De Virgiliis[/b] invested a lot of resources in R&D to develop a[b] proprietary power amp technology[/b], specifically designed to[b] respect[/b] and [b]glorify[/b] the [b]tone of your instrument[/b].[/i]

"About all the bass amps on the market use the same power amp from different manufacturers, which are not specificically designed for bass."

Is he allowed to say that...

If it's true, then Yes and I believe he is correct.

The 1000W power amp board is effectively a step and repeat of the Big Bang/LM3 500W unit. I think it's a shame that it has such a radical colour scheme, as a LM1000 in standard Markbass livery would be a logical upgrade of the LM800.

Own this and the ninja 2x12 cab. Absolutely incredible. For the money it's a really good deal and to my ear for my sound, it was the exactly what I wanted and better then some of the more expensive options of buying two separate 12 cabs. Play a classic stingray and its just great! Warm or punchy tones easy peasy. Also, it fits in the boot of my car (which is a Fiat panda)

Do we really need a 1000 watt backline amp?

Assume your not serious

Funny how it is becoming more common to daisy chain cabs, makes total sense when you think about it, less wire dangling cables around!
