Al Krow Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Wow! This discussion is getting way too intellectual for me...I'd best call it a night! 😂 Quote
The59Sound Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Don't worry - someone still can't get over being called out for the TC RH450 being the best amp... in the world. 😂 Quote

Pants pedal eh? Does that attach to the waistband to allow you to make changes on the fly? Sorry wrong thread 1 Quote

First time I’d heard of him...it sounds nicer than this Zon. In my opinion 🤔 Quote
BassAgent Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Might also be the quality of the video, and I think the ZON is tuned like a tenor bass. Very different sound. 1 Quote
cetera Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Yuck.... I wonder if they will sound sterile/just be the 'flavour of the month' and then turn up in their droves on the used market within a year.... like their amps.... Quote

Not sure many of the new MB basses will be sold in the first place. As for their amps, I'd happily get one of their solidly built, reliable heads ahead of plenty of others! And there is a thriving resale market as an added bonus 😎 One person's "sterile" is another person's "clean with plenty of headroom". Which is fortunate, it would be a dull world otherwise.

Wolverinebass Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think this thread just proves that Markbass have lost the plot. The endless products rolled out and then discontinued shortly thereafter. The even more bonkers colour schemes. In my opinion they've "done an Ashdown." Just went mental. A decade to fifteen years ago they were somewhat cutting edge in the lightweight speaker design. They've stagnated and have got themselves tied up in their own indecision and colour schemes. They've been usurped by Barefaced, Vanderkley and Bergantino to name a few. In truth, I'm glad I sold my Markbass cabs. They're on the downward trajectory and these somewhat hideous basses just illustrate it. Bereft of ideas? Another p bass!! I despair. 1 Quote
tauzero Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I'm not sure what the point of the second one is. Does the world really need another Fender/Squier clone? The first one seems an attempt to make a double-cut as ugly as a single-cut. Richard Bona had a huge mudslinging fest at Tecamp when he parted company with them, it may be worth getting the popcorn in now for the same thing happening with him and Fodera. Quote

You're right, let's just all stick to what we have, because it's broadly fine, and not bother with competition and choice. After all "if it ain't broke..." Oh and, while we're at it, can someone please call Apple and Samsung and suggest they cancel their next line of smartphones as they really are a bit pointless? Quote
