    Markbass Combo II Amp cutting out when slapping

    So, my Gallien Krueger speaker is 400W and 8 ohms. My Markbass combo is 600W and I can't find how many ohms it is. With a quick search on the Markbass website, this is my amp: Invalid Link Removed However, it says it's 300W (500W with 8 ohm extension cabinet). Dunno why it's different than...

    Markbass Combo II Amp cutting out when slapping

    Those are some good points. Owendavis: Yes, a fresh battery seemed to fix it the first time, but a month and a half later the problem persists. So I was curious if anyone knew how often I should be changing the battery for this specific problem. I have not tested it with a different bass, and...

    Markbass Combo II Amp cutting out when slapping

    Haha, you're funny ;) I mean, mostly it happens when slapping. But I remember the first show this started happening it wasn't just the slapping, it was whenever I played anything with a lot of force.

    Markbass Combo II Amp cutting out when slapping

    I am pretty sure, yes. It gets fairly hot too. Again, the blue power light and the fan are still on, but the sound cuts out. I can literally flicker the power switch off and back on again immediately and it will work fine.

    Markbass Combo II Amp cutting out when slapping

    Hi guys, I have a Markbass Combo II Amp (it's a 2x10 speaker, with the amp head built in so it's a combo) and a 4x10 Gallien Krueger speaker that I put under it. My problem is in the middle of gigs, when I have my highs cranked and I'm slapping, I will just cut out. On my Markbass, the blue...

    Need help selecting pedals

    Hi everyone, I'm a complete newby when it comes to pedals. I've never really used any ever, as I usually play in a ska/funk band. In my new band, I'm playing a sort of progressive rock. So, I need you effects experts to help me out here. I'm looking for a fuzz/distortion pedal, with a really...

    Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden

    Yes! Burden in My Hand has a great line, as does Pretty Noose. Have you ever tried to play as low strung as he does? Pretty damn hard, huh?

    Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden

    Hi all, I saw that there's a thread on Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden from a long time ago, but I figured I would start a new one. Has anyone done extensive research on him? The only work I know by him is with Soundgarden (my favorite band!), although I would like to start listening to his other...

    Bass-Less Music

    Hi! Could I get Soundgarden - Black Rain, Spoonman, and Black Hole Sun as bass-less and bass-only please? If only one or the other, I would prefer bass-only. Thank you so much! [email protected]

    Famous bass players in movies

    Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden was in "Singles," but only for a few shots where you can hardly see him. It's funny, I read somewhere how he was complaining about the filming of the scene the band was in. It apparently took an extremely long time, and when he saw the final result he was...
