Hahaha. I got the markbass 4x10 and a markbass tube 800 head. It’s been great. Plenty loud enough and I like that I can connect two basses to the amp head for practices (one through the 1/4 and one through the XLR via a DI out). We have a few bass players that play on different songs and...

Lemme know what bands I should be listening to that utilize a six string bass. I got a six string Kiesel. Why? Because I always wanted one. Why? Who knows lol. I had a five already and an opportunity to make a custom dream bass. I love it but I’m hoping people can point me to more...

One thing that blew my mind is preamps. I had a fender Jazz circa 1990 and when I started playing again a few years ago made a pedalboard with a microtubes Infiniti. I then went to a Spector 5 active and now a Kiesel ZB6 that’s active. Both of those just sounded muddy as all get out. On my...

I think a concern is how much they haven’t done anything with their other pedals in terms of updates or their multi effects amp. We shall see.

It’s an interesting pedal. Initially I was like “oh wow me wants.” Now that I’ve had some time to think I’m less convinced. I have a microtubes Infiniti. So I have cabs, impulses, EQ, routing options, tuner, multiple distortions…. And Bluetooth. Lacking Bluetooth or WiFi is a swing and a...

Just for laughs…. I have a 35 year old 350 watt ampeg b2. It sounds great on the low B… it also weighs just over 100lbs for a 4x8 hence I’m finally replacing it.

Couldn’t find one to try and aside from the paid adverts I’ve seen nothing but negative (albeit miniscule sample size) reports. Went with a markbass rig.

Trigger pulled. Musician’s friend had the 4ohm Markbass Pure for $750 and the Little mark Tube 800 for $650. That made it even cheaper than a 2x10 setup. Why was it so cheap. No clue. Asked the sales guy and he said it would be new in box from the warehouse so not demos. I thought about...

It’s not. Your fingers naturally fan that way towards the head. It’s honestly instant. I picked it up and barely noticed. At practice another bass player’s guitar had a bad jack so I let him borrow my Spector. He went from a fender jazz to my 34-37 Spector playing higher ground and it was...

33.5-35 I’m coming off a 34-37 Spector 5 so I’m loving the shorter scale. Open B sounds good and everything is a hair looser which is nice for bends. I’ve not noticed any issues for sustain or buzz.

Haha. That made my day. Fuzzy ToeBean is my dnd character (I’ve been a DM for years but he’s my only character I got to be a player for). He is a fat tabaxi drakewarden ranger whose village worshiped the great chicken (a dragon). He has a loose sense of morality, steals trinkets and money he...

After almost 8 months my Kiesel ZB6 arrived. This is a six string Zeus. Body is Chambered Swamp Ash Top is 7a Burled Maple Finish is Reverse Monster (By Jeff Kiesel) Neck is Roasted Flamed Maple Fretboard is Purple Flamed Maple (By Kaila Kiesel) Jumbo Stainless Frets. Gloss top coat...

I was looking on the 2x12 fusion. I kinda like the idea of a combo and simplicity. How is it holding up? I heard some complaints about loose pots. Any durability concerns? How is that top handle working for ya for transport. Thanks!

Has anyone tried out the Darkglass combos? I’ve seen a lot of paid adverts on YouTube but I’m not seeing much in the way of real world reviews. I’m in a no rush upgrade my old amp situation and planning on a markbass setup. I really like the sound and weight but my only hesitation is...

This setup seems to get the job done at a reasonable price. I was just unsure about which ohm cab to get given the price is the same and the potential to expand on the future. Everyone has been super helpful in that regard. I’ve listened to a lot of cabs, not many in person. I love...
