    Anyone using a Markbass CMD 102P for a Classic Rock/Hard Rock Cover Band?

    I have a 102P that I run with a LMIII head. I don't find it to be warm enough on it's own. It is very clean and articulate which I like but it lacks the lows I look for. I paired it with a MB Randy Jackson 15 and now you are talking! Get's all the warm low end you need and the clear high...

    The best bass you've played?

    Hands down my Pedulla MVP5. Just feels like home. Followed closely by my G&L L2500 Tribute. Talk about a spectrum swing but truth is truth. However neither one sound as good as my Stingray 5HH.

    210 and 115

    Wow my proof reading skills obviously suck! Both configurations sound good but they don't convey the same sonic magic. Much better!

    210 and 115

    For years I ran an SWR 2x10 cab with an SWR 1X15 all powered by a GK 400RB. Best sound I ever had. Now I have a couple of different configurations with an mb800 head--- a 4x10, or 2-1x12's, they both configurations good but not unfortunately they don't seem to have the same magic.

    OLD DUDES(AND DUDETTES)of 50+ years and new gear.

    I'm 58 and have embraced the lighter stuff. I run a GK MB800 and an SWR Golight 4 X10 cab or I will use a Carvin BX500 with 2 Mark Bass CMD112's. All the gear is nice and light and sound good. But honestly I still miss the sound of GK 400RB combined with my SWR 2-10 cab and SWR 1-15 cab. Much...

    hello

    Welcome to talkbass! I too live somewhere in the backwoods of Pa. It's great to hear that you decided to pick up bass a little later in life. I have been playing most of my adult life and I can tell you that you are in for a great time if you keep at it. Good luck with it!

    Does the BL deserve equal pay?

    Here is my take on this situation: If you are using her PA she deserves a full cut. You wouldn't be able to do the show without her equipment. If she booked the show give her a 15% finders fee. She did the work to get you the job otherwise you wouldn't be playing at all. As far as the...

    GK MB800 FUSION RELEASE DATE??

    Does anyone know if this new unit can be racked? I read somewhere that the tube versions of the mb series gets too hot to rack.

    Gigging without a cabinet

    Here is what works for me. I have a Carvin Bx500 head that weighs about 5 lbs. and a Markbass 1-12 cabinet that weighs in about 28 lbs. and that seems to work well and is easy to transport. I also have a Music Man bass that I keep in a Mono case gig bag and the whole setup can be moved quickly...

    Has anyone here abandoned their 5 string basses totally for 4 strings?

    I have 4-5 string basses ranging from a Pedulla MVP5 to a Squire 5 string. The only 4 I have left is a Michael Kelley Dragonfly. I play in a horn band and feel more comfortable having the ability to drop below the E. Those horn boys love the flatted keys!
