Then again, I am one of a very select few who thinks the color scheme is absolutely brilliant. It definitely sticks out and grabs people`s attention. |

You can send all your spare logos to me.
Thank you.

Nope its pure CRACK... If you remember that commercial where the guy gets the message, You have reached the end of the INTERNET hit the back button NOW!
My buddy had that happen to him the other day. He told me so in an email so I know its true.
BOB |  True dat. I think the addictive and mind-expanding/numbing process takes on new proportions unseen by clinicians in the entire history of mankind.

Not the greatest reputation compared to some other brands, a lot of people look down their nose at Crate. I ditched the logos so I wouldn't have to put up with the gear snobs.

There are products from A to Z out there and those products are valued in $$$ from next to nothing to Bazillions of $$$. We get to do anything we want as far as deciding what products to buy and what to do with them once we actually lay down the $$$ to own them.
I seriously don't take a thread like this very seriously and the OPIE's question was answered in the first few posts. Basically get out the screwdriver and pry the thing off. All the rest of it for me was in jest...
Happy Halloween.... BOO

I agree with everything RBonner said.
The Markbass cosmetics are garish and hideous, and I don't want equipment that calls attention to itself (which Marbass does, even from 50 feet away).

I want people to know what they're hearing. Especially at those prices. I do think MarkBass gear looks fine, though ... on Halloween.

On the other hand my CMD121P is SO SMALL that no one sees it anyway, so why bother to remove the logo? People are always looking for my bass "stack" and when I show them the tiny box in the corner that is shaking the stage they can't believe it.

I just got mine Markbass CMD 112H a week ago and have yet to gig with it, just band practice. I am looking forward to people being blown away by the massive sound from such a small combo.  |

BOB | Ha.
I agree with almost everything you write, BOB.
My primary ride is a Duck.
I also ride a Honda.
And I drive a VW.
I have NO ink. Whatever.

dj | My biggest mistake was taking my kid (who's 19 and has had a VRSCR since 14) and seeing the 1098 models. My mistake was me seeing the RACE VERSION on display in no touchie land and its $40K price tag. I wanted bad, however escaped and didn't go back. I still hear about it.
Oh and we have a VW in the driveway, an 06 GTI. This pen is out of ink, damn... See we do agree on a lot of stuff.
