New things from Mark Bass?

[ossyrocks]

Their social media is full of announcements. Their website is running a countdown timer, ticking down until tomorrow.

 

What can we expect? It’s all very hush hush at the moment.

Saw that. Was trying to access the site, but all you get is the countdown! 🤣

An announcement that they will from now on exclusively build all valve amps and matching 4x12s and 2x15 cabs would perhaps be unlikely.

 

I would guess that they announce a range of class D amps that can also act as an audio interface, perhaps  also including an inbuilt cab sim. Something like that.

Could it be a a customisable modular bass amp that allows the player to use a variety of different preamps, EQs, or master controls to dial in just the right sound for their particular needs with the ability to mix and match various modules?

 

Again........

 

 

[ryancowell25]

or

 

A Digital amp head that offers bassists an incredible wide range of virtual bass amps, both modern and vintage, speaker cabs and microphones, studio and stompbox effects, and a powerful stereo amp... in a practical rack mountable unit

[ryancowell25]

Whatever it is......... get one before it's instantly discontinued.

An overdrive pedal with a built in webcam!

I'm going go out on a limb and say a Mark King edition head. 100% a guess so probably totally wrong hehe

I think it’s new lighter cabs.

 

MB were very light but now GR and BF are far lighter. So I think they are aiming at that.

Higher powered LM4?

[fretmeister]

Whatever it is, it is called the MB58R

 

Live stream on this afternoon apparently.

This is quite likely, judging by the graphics and the blurb, but there are only so many ways to skin a cat. It will be interesting to see if they have some original thinking up their sleeve.

Looking at the post, it's almost surely something to do with lightweight cabs. So to be revolutionary (if that's what the reveal is) they'd have to be lighter than Barefaced and GR Aero cabs?

It's very slow going...

 

[fretmeister]

They've finally got to the point.

 

New lightweight cabs - made in Italy.

[Merton]

Get the impression he thinks he’s Steve Jobs announcing the first iPhone.

It’s a bass cab….

[fretmeister]

Yeah - I'm sure they'll be great, but what a dull presentation!

 

And although Richard Bona can really play, 99% of bassists just don't care about that stuff.

Do we know what the revolution is yet?

[fretmeister]

They are all filled with helium.

The world's best cheapest cabs.

 

Or possible the world's cheapest best cabs.

 

I can't be sure?

[stevie]

Biodegradable plastic cabs?

[ossyrocks]

There must be a lot of people interested in their new cabs. The website has crashed!

 

Being someone who has to look after their back, I'm definitely interested, but I can't see them yet because of the website issues.

Edit: finally in but it's REALLY slow. Looks like a brand new website too. 20 new cabinets ! That's a LOT

It's a matter of opinion. I like the look of Mark Bass cabs.

But I do understand the appeal of the more conservative look of cabs from Barefaced.

The MB58R 102 ENERGY 2x10 cab weighs 9.8kg!

 

I'm having one of these, or maybe two.
