New Amp Day: Mark Bass Little Mark II

Just got it today - a friend spotted it on GC's used gear site for $250. I'd like to have a few more scratches on it and get it even cheaper! It's sitting on his loaner Bergantino 1x12, I'm in the market for something similar.
My current gig will not need anywhere near this much volume (a ukulele and lap steel band), but it's nice to have for anything else that might pop up.

Sweet. Congrats. How's it sound? Looks you can
dial up some serious mid-tones on that charmer.

congrats! It's a cool mighty little piece of italian gear!!!
I had my one LMK II used, too; well not with all those beautiful "vintage vibe scratches" anyway!

I too, the first time I cranked it up, listened scared to some rattle around, but soon I realised it was the windows' glasses!!!

Industry changing bass amp. Love the LM2/3. I stupidly sold my LM3, then bought another as I missed it.

Great amp. Congrats on a great deal.

Per your picture, make sure you realize that the 'flat' setting of the amp is with the VPF and VLE all the way off. That is where you should start, and a very little bit of either of those great filters goes a long way.

Big congrats, pal. That's basically what's in my 121H combo. I now also have a LMIII separate head. I have paired it with a 151P cab. Awesome sound for such a small package.
