Markbass premiere: Little Mark CASA 58R

[mazdah]

Today Michael Leagues CASA head officially (and quietly) joined Markbass 58R line.

Without much fuss (one post on socials, webpage) or any promotion it joined 58R line, which was introduced over a year ago. Many of us saw the amp on earlier promo shots of 58R Line, but it was never mentioned by Markbass or Michael League (who still uses old CASA live and currently recording and album with Snarky Puppy)

 

Finally for those who wanted it -CASA in small package. I wonder will the new CASA be able to compete with Little Mark Vintage 58R and Andrew Gouche signature signature. All of them have quite similar target and old school  vibe.

 

Changes? Two basic EQ shelving bands are now changed from 50Hz to 100Hz for Bass and  5kHZ  to 10kHz for Treble, which I find less appealing.

 

This is how the EQ is set now:

 

BASS: frequency 100Hz (shelving); level ±16 dB

TREBLE: frequency 10 KHz (shelving); level ±16 dB

 

ULTRALOW: center frequency 65 Hz; level ±16 dB

LOW: center frequency 180 Hz; level ±16 dB

MID: center frequency 500 Hz; level ±16 dB

MID HIGH: center frequency 1.4 KHz; level ±16 dB

HIGH: center frequency 3.8 KHz; level ±16 dB
