I intend to use it as my home set up when I find somewhere suitable. The valves are worth £150 alone. You must've needed the space really badly to "give it away" for that price. I bought it as a cheap way to try out a big valve amp, which I'm very glad I did. They're awsome! Yeh, needed the money and to be fair I'd gone mad buying amps so probably a good thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The last thing I need is another amp , but I’ve just noticed this has a ultra low bass button which is tempting me 😁, how does the amp sound with regards to the deep bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tut Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I spent a bit more time with mine today. I reckon the clip indicator is before the gain control but after the pad. The clip indicator on my valve version is definitely affected by the gain control so this must be the reason for the extra volume control. I've found the gain control on the M version DOES affect the tone but in a much more subtle way than on the M. The tone gets a little more aggressive as you crank it and if i roll the tone off the bass, I can hear some distortion on the bottom end - not particularly attractive distortion, but with the bass tone control open, the top end masks that distortion and it sounds more gnarly. In order to get a load of top on the T version, I have to nail the treble control, have the mid control set to 2.5K with lots of mid on. Which is a shame because to get the best stage sound I like to set the mid to 220hz, boost it and roll the bass off. With the M version, I can keep the mids at 220hz and boost them, nail the treble and have the Ultra High engaged and the tone really cuts through. Not tried this live yet but will get the chance tomorrow night when I'm doing a christmas party. Shall report back! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always varied wildly - they were really cheap at thomman a few years ago, in the hundreds (both models) and varied a lot day by day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be something that happens depending on the input signal. I've just bought an Ashdown EQ pedal where the VU meter barely moves with my Reggie Hamilton jazz bass in passive mode but leaps into life when active EQ is set flat, even though the apparent volume remains practically the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a fairly common theme these days. For about 5 years or so the Markbass Blackline 250 head was £220 or so, a few months ago it went to £319 ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the fence and I have to say, I'm glad I bought one. It's definitely better than I'd imagined and if you don't like it, either return it or play with it for a few months then lob it on eBay and make your money back plus a quid or two extra! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm........makes sense.......but I already have a few amps....which means the wife probably wouldn’t notice another one!
