Go to the Markbass.it homepage and click on the big picture to see the new stuff.

Just when I got a LMIII they come out with something I want more. I swear!

Thanks, just seen it! Big Bang! Everything I wanted from Markbass. Its also digital, so I assume getting closer to the F1/500.

YES!

I saw those light all tube heads and got really excited

...'til I found out they were for guitards.

Looks like they're moving into the drums and guitar products too.

YES!

Kind of intriguing. Where are they going with this ? Something inbetween the LM and F500 ? It's smaller, but, what else ?

I wonder if the Big Bang has a line out level control. They don't say. I bet this amp costs more than a LMIII. Might be worth it, though.

Yes they do: "... and level control and pre-post EQ switch for the XLR DI output" (page 4 of the NAMM catalogue).

Well, its been pointed out that the Big Bang mute is footswitch only, (it looks like it anyway).

Shame, as that will add to the cost.

What is so hard about having a normal mute like Genz/TC/etc?

darius8 · #13 01-20-2012, 06:56 AM

The Big Bang has a headphone and aux. in. Thats enough for me to take notice.
I always thought about the LMIII but was turned off becuz of lack a headphone out and an aux in. Now, its like a LMIII w/ a headphone out and aux in.

bassclef04 · #14 01-20-2012, 06:58 AM

Still no mute! Only through a foot switch whack!

darius8 · #15 01-20-2012, 06:59 AM

The Mini Boost and Mini Dist looks cute but does come with a Mini price tag?

bertbassplayer · #16 01-20-2012, 07:04 AM

For something called the "Big Bang" I would have expected it to have more than 500 Watts of power.

darius8 · #17 01-20-2012, 07:04 AM

The DV Mark series, are those guitar amps?

They have never seen the need for a mute switch at Markbass, and they have only added them to certain amps grudgingly.
