I love my Markbass Big Bang head - but have a question in the Footswitch. Didn't come with one. Can't find much info about what type to get. Supposedly it can mute the amp and change an eq setting Anyone know what it does? What kind would work? I tried a fender simple on/off foot switch...

'twas the MIM standard.... and i was trying to compare apples and oranges and see how each tasted actually. had heard about the diff, wanted to check it out. i have heard some people swear changing certain things makes a difference, when it often doesnt....at least not to some peoples ears and...

New to posting, but have been getting tons of info from TB so thought i would try to add (if i am breaking etiquette sorry). Found a real nice MIM fender p-bass, purchased same, then had the much thought out question...are the stock pickups "good enough?". what the heck, 70 bucks worth the...

:bassist:GIG info and HELP REQUESTED! Hey met some of you at Roy's bass-a-palooza in columbia....and talking with him he said might want to post here for 2 things. 1. My new band just launched - and we are playing this Saturday june 8 in columbia at sonomas. 3 bands - we are second. music...

thanks Roy for pointing me in the right director for the group.... how do i get a number... is there a paddling ceremony or something?

I just got one. I like it. I want to keep my setup simple, and have a few different tone /effect options every once in a while. All tones are usable - the metal muff maybe the least so down low - but the others work well across the range low to high. Memory toy can really "fill up" your sound...

Ended up getting a fender precision American special. Has the right neck and pickups more what I wanted. Love it! Although I may add a pickup to it... One of the artist series basses fender put out ( forget who) had a p bass and an additional pickup added and great tone. Maybe I'll try the k...

thanks for input so far... realize it is the pickups that are my concern, not neck size thinning the sound. So do the "stock" pickups still sound kind of thin, or do some of the jazz bass pickups meet my needs for heavier stuff. I like the rewire idea if that works - and am also strongly...

Playing a StingRay MusicMan now... time to add second bass to the family. In looking for playability i really like the feel of the Fender Jazz Special - feels like a great playable neck - thin and shallow (like a girl i knew once....). I find it tough to really get the sound of playing out in...

I was in a local music shop last night and came across one of these - used - for $150us. Sounded great so i bought it on the spot. I was thinking about searching something like this down - remember giddy lee played some kind of stick bass at one point - to use at open mics and to take on trips...

Thanks again everybody - just arrived home with the Markbass NY 151 1. It sounds AWESOME 2. the 102 speakercab did not sound nearly as good to me 3. i like the way the jeff berlin sits on it with the same footprint - looks clean 4. my wife was ok with purchase price - imagine that 5. like...

thanks for the feedback (no pun) it sounds like the 1x15 is the way to go - or at least the way i am leaning. seems like choices to go with my jeff berlin are (Markbass): Club 151 Traveler 151 NY 151 i am ruling out std 151 for weight and SIZE (ok, im odd but i dont like how a...

Brand new hear. Playing bass for a while in a local bar-band. Beginner question. I have a Markbass Jeff Berlin 1x15 combo. It has an output for an add-on cabinet and i am thinking about using a markbass TRV 102P (2x10 400watts @ 8 ohms). i really like the sound of the 15" speaker, but...
