Chewie Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Hello guys and gals...... Here’s a request you don’t see often. I just bought a Markbass 310 combo. The amp doesn’t work and needs a £200 board replacement, apparently. Is anyone out there near Swindon, willing to lend me a Markbass amp to confirm whether I should pay to get the amp repaired? I wouldn’t want it for long. It would only be for home use. I could pay for a fine slab of beer in return. The vendor of the Markbass cab has plugged my Mesa head into it without its transformer connected..... sob, sob....... Sonetimes you’ve gotta ask..... It does actually sound cheeky on paper to be fair. Anyway, May the force be with you all... Chewie Edited July 27, 2019 by Chewie Quote

I totally agree buddy. I’d just never played anything Markbass before that was all. I was originally just after a 410 cabinet. Quote
Roger2611 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I would get it repaired, I have an LM3 amp and it is better sounding amp than my Mesa Boogie D800! Quote

I've had it repaired Roger. It is the nuts. I love it. Japan Axe lent me his Big Bang for a couple of days and it sounded great. Well happy, I am........!!! 1 Quote
peteb Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 I don't live anywhere near you, but I did own one of those MB 310 combos at one time. It was a great amp! I did loads of gigs all over the place with it and it never let me down. If you can get it repaired for £200 (and it doesn't have any other major issues) then I would suggest you go ahead. If you want a bass combo then that is one I would definitely recommend. Quote

I ordered the power board from Sheffield and had it installed locally. Cost me £150. Love the Markbass sound... 2 Quote
