    what envelope filter do you like?

    I have one big problem with the MXR-82. I can't turn it off. I'm addicted. I love the range I can get from it. Blending a little fx in with a mainly dry mix and it brings some bass lines to life or I go nasty for that fat 70's bubble bass. Been playing around with it on my fretless lately and I...

    Fender Jazz Help

    Cheers for the feedback but my heart ruled my head and it's now on it's way to me. Can't wait to get it in my hands and see if I remember how to play fretless, it's been a while. The unlined neck is a first for me but looking forward to the learning curve. Oh and yeah that table would make a...

    Fender Jazz Help

    He's blurred out the serial number which has given the wood a distorted/discolored look.

    The 10 Worst Thing About Being a Bassist

    Official Markbass club - it just keeps on going!

    Can I get a number please. Purchased a Mark Bass III about 6 months ago paired with an Ashdown 2x10 and 1x15. It's the first time I cannot find fault with a head and I'm still playing with the range of tones I can get out of it. I'm currently waiting for my 102P to land.
