    Boom Bass Cabinets?

    I've owned a Tank 1215 for over 6 months now - it's PERFECT. Loud as hell, clear with more low end than any other cabinet I've played through. It weighs 45 lbs and has a wheel system that allows you to walk into a gig with head, cab and bass in 1 trip. If you are a bass player you owe it to...

    Who uses a "large" rig and recently went to a class D ultra light replacement, any regrets?

    I just got a Mark Bass Multiamp and a Boom Bass Cab 1215 - this replaces my SWR Mo' Bass head, (in a rack with effects, a tuner and power conditioner) and Goliath 4X10" and Big Ben 18" cabs. The Multiamp/BBC 1215 is louder, cleaner and has a ton of sound shaping/effects... much more than the SWR...

    why fan-fretted basses?

    Just got a ABZ 5 about a month ago - first time with a 5 and first time with fanned frets. The equal string tension is better than any 4 string I've ever played and it sounds wonderful. How does it look? Who cares! (but it does look awesome)

    Markbass Bass Multiamp

    Yeah - me too... I am having some trouble - I can't use the editing software - my computer doesn't "see" the Multiamp, and sometimes it doesn't boot up all the way at start up - I just get the "Mark Bass Multiamp" logo and nothing else happens - I have to turn it off and on again. BTW - what are...

    Markbass Bass Multiamp

    Yes you can, you have 1 slot for the amp model, 1 slot for the cabinet (which you don't use unless you are not using an actual cabinet) then 6 other slots are open for effects, compressors, EQ, noise suppression, etc. I just got the foot controller, so now I go between 8 different setups while...

    NCD: Boom Bass Cab 1215

    Just got the 1215 - it's amazing, maybe perfect... and an excellent match for the Multibass. Really LOUD, really clean and the low end is staggering. I thought I heard some distortion but it was just all of the windows in my house vibrating! I kept on getting told to turn down when we jammed...

    Markbass Bass Multiamp

    I'm trying to order this but's it's asking for a "Tax number - only for Italy" - what is that?

    NCD: Boom Bass Cab 1215

    HOLY CRAP! I got the Multiamp last night and tried it out with my 4X10 Goliath - so far it's AWESOME! It's louder than I was expecting - very ballsy, and the effects are excellent-very, very good. It's gonna take a while to explore. Are you using the Mark Bass foot controller? I plan on getting...

    NCD: Boom Bass Cab 1215

    Okay Rich - just pulled the plug and ordered a 1215 from Chuck! Can't wait! AND my new Mark Bass Multiamp S arrives tomorrow! This will hopefully replace my SWR Mo Bass, Goliath and Big Ben - to me the only way to try out gear is to buy it and try it out at home, with my bass and band. I will...

    Pretty sold on it - it's HALF the weight of 1 of my cabs - an old SWR Goliath

    Hmmm... I think you might have just sold me on the 1215... Does the 1215 ever over heat due to the 8 ohm to 4 ohm issue? I don't know that much about impedance but a friend of mine warned about that... How's the build quality on the 1215?
