    Markbass CMD121P

    I bought a CMD 121P two weeks ago and received my ordered extra cab earlier this week. It's a traveler 121H model. A bit bulky compared to the combo itself but the weight is very acceptable. But now about the sound it produces. That is absolutely awesome!!! This cab produces an incredible...

    Micromark!

    Just picked up one of these on the 2nd hand market. Paid 310€ for one that's close to new. I love it! Nice warm sound. Unbelievable depth for such a small box. Works fine for rehearsals in a small semi acoustic setup. Will certainly not be loud enough in rock band setup. But that not what...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    Almost there...I hope! I returned my new NXT on the 11th of march to the guitar shop. They agreed : the A string had a clear lack of sustain and sounded thinner than the other strings. So they returned it to the distributer in Holland. And now, two months later, I received a message that...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    And back it goes:( Done some testing in the local shop where I bought it. We replaced the A string to proof it's not a string problem. And it's definitely not. Then the technician took a look and ran some tests....and concluded it needs to be send back to the supplier. Could be a problem...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    I went to the music shop today and the guy from the bass department told me it's most likely the piezo that needs to be adjusted. He said this is a problem that sometimes happens with accoustic piezo guitars. Shoulds be a relative easy fix for a professional. So i'm definitely going to return...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    I've put on new NS 610 traditional strings today. What a difference compared to the stock strings!!! These sounded more like a fretless bass, now it's closer to an upright. The sound is awesome now, but the A string sounds more quiet than the other strings.:confused: Any ideas? Will it...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    Got mine about a week ago. Very pleased with it. It's a well crafted instrument and it's a joy to play. I'm sort of re-discovering bass playing. It has the Jackpot, but I don't see this as a big advantage. If I want to keep the option of adjusting volume when playing ,it will never be in...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    Never heard of the jackpot. This is what I've found on the NS web: The JackPot is standard equipment on all NXT basses and cellos as of September 2011So I guess it's fitted on the one I've ordered last week? It's the last sunburst version in stock at the ditributer in Holland. I recently...
