stewblack Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 So after barely any use my Markbass amp has developed a fault, looks like a short circuit somewhere and my regular amp tech says he can't do anything as MB insist only approved technicians can touch their stuff. He says he can't buy spares there are no manuals etc. Anyone know a way around this? I was flush when I bought the amp but I'm pretty well skint now so do not want a crazy expensive repair bill.

fleabag Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Sounds like you need to take it back to the shop. Your contract is with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 My local Tech repairs Markbass gear. Apparently there is a waiting list and restrictions on how much gear can be imported but it can be repaired.. If you need to, we can get Your guy to talk to My guy to facilitate the repair...Let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks guys. I should have said it's not new. I bought it second hand. I was just whining about how little I'd used it because I was feeling sorry for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Looks like distribution in the UK has switched from Proel to these guys: http://www.mslpro.co.uk I'd give them a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Real Electronics in Sheffield are the approved repair company for MarkBass. From comments by people who have used them they are pretty quick and reasonable. http://www.realelectronics.co.uk/Markbass-Amplifier-Repairs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
