FAULTY Markbass LM2 Bass Head. Spares/Repair £50

[kingforaday]

I bought this on here a little while ago, with the intention of getting my amp tech to get it up and running. I put it on his bench and he said "is that a Markbass? Yeah, I'm not touching that" - So it's not gonna happen! He doesn't want to work with the 'switching power supply' - which he thinks is more than likely the problem (I can't guarantee that it is but that's his best educated guess without going any further). It doesn't power on and makes a faint kind of 'ticking' sound when you attempt to power it up

According to him, these are rarely 'repaired' as more often than not, the whole board inside is just replaced. I got a quote from another local company to replace the board at £190! I also contacted the official Markbass service guys (real electronics) who quoted less but obviously I've got to ship it back and forth so it'll be about the same all in anyway.

So I thought in the meantime while I have a think about that, I'll offer it up here in case any of you need some spares for yours... or know your way around a Markbass LM2 and want to have a crack at repairing it.

I'll post some pics later - but it's in generally well used condition
