Hi Mark. I just wanted to let you know that, yes my cabinet was the 104hf, so we had the same exact rig! Yes it sounded incredible but it just got too heavy for me to lug around. I took your advice! I got a Markbass 121 energy and a 121 pure. Together they weigh 15 lbs less than the 104hf, and...

I did. They said it was normal. That’s why I want to know if anyone else has the same buzzing from their Backbeat. No one’s really telling me if theirs makes the same noise.

I’ll try that and see what it does.

Yeah, I checked the cables, the smaller end goes to the unit and they’re in all the way. If I turn down the buzz is less but then of course the rumble isn’t that great.

I just got a Backbeat G2 today. I’m noticing that it has an audible buzzing sound while I’m playing. It sounds like distortion coming out of the unit. Is this normal or should it be silent/more solid? Just wondering if I got a bad unit. Oh, and the signal goes way down when I plug into my amp, I...

That’s a great idea! I may go that direction. Thanks! Btw my 410 is front ported too.

Hey guys. I’m thinking about getting a Bugera BXD15 1x15” combo. I’d like to hear feedback from anyone who has used one. I currently play through Little Mark 3 and a Markbass 4x10. I’m getting tired of lugging it around. The Bugera has 1000 watts of power vs. 500 in the Little Mark. But will I...

So I played a gig with the Sansamp, I loved the tone! Now I added a MXR compressor pedal too, and BOOM! That’s the tone I’ve been looking for and envying whenever I heard someone else with something similar. I couldn’t be happier! Thanks to everyone who offered up advice! So my signal path for...

. So, update. I did get the V2 Sansamp driver about a week ago. Thanks for all of the advice! I absolutely love it! I have my first gig with it coming up this weekend, so I’ll update again after. I was using a TC Electronics spectra drive compressor/pre amp, but I got tired of the tone print...

I really want to try a Sansamp preamp. I see that the programmable bass driver doesn’t have a control for mids, but the idea of 3 tones ready to go is really helpful for my gigs. On the other hand, if having controls for the mids on the bass driver V2 makes for a better overall tone, it seems...

I was just looking up the mini spark because of your post. I really think this is the way to go. Thanks!

I keep my basses on the side of my rig. I’d probably tangle the cords, and I have broken a cord off in the jack because I forgot to unplug it before putting the bass down. Had to use my shorter backup.

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!
