Markbass AH250

[franzbassist]

I see Markbass make an amp specifically for acoustic instruments - the AH250 - has anyone tried this?



It's only rated 150 watts at 8 ohms and 250 watts at 4 ohms so not usre how loud it gets, but the acoustic-friendly features are there.

Anyone road tested one?

Cheers

Looks so much better without the yellow!

I use my LMII with a single 8 Ohm cab - I suppose it would be putting out about 200W maximum, for my upright gigs and it's plenty loud enough so 250W into 4 Ohm would be fine.

Is the beast specifically for double bass or for 'acoustic' instruments in general? The inclusion of the onboard FX and chorus in particular just screams 'singer songwriter' at me - especially the second channel for plugging yer microphone into....

TBH, other than the anti-feedback knob (which would need to be tuned for bass specific frequencies to be much use?) I don't see why it would be any better than a LMII or LMK for DB.

Interest is just out of curiousity really. Although my gigs can be a combination of electric and acoustic bass guitars as well as my new EUB, I was just wondering of anyone had tried it out, and whether it was very loud? I love my LMK so don't anticipate changing any time soon...
