1973 Fender Jazz. Black, red tort guard, rosewood fretboard, block inlays. Sold it in the mid 1990s to fund other purchases. Always thought I would find another one like it. Prices skyrocketed on them and frankly I have never found one I liked as well. I always kick myself for that. I also...

This thread has me motivated to use my GT-10B more. I recently sold my power amp which had a nice compressor built in. My new amp lacks a compressor, so I need to create some quality compressor, chorus, flange patches etc. and move beyond the Boss presets. I would like to use the GT-10B for...

I believe you are correct that the GNT is no longer being offered, and the VT replaced it. IMO, body binding looks especially good when it contrasts enough with the body finish to be noticed. On some body finishes the binding "blends in" visually and is not easily seen. I've owned G&L's...

I added a STD102HF extension cab to my CMD102P. I'm very happy with that combination.

My CMD102P has a pretty low level of fan noise, not nearly as loud as my Hartke HA5000 fan was. I do notice the fan noise slightly more when using it in the "tilt-back" position.

UPDATE: After playing the TRV151P with my CMD102P at home for several days, I began to think the sound was not quite what I was looking for. The TRV151P is a great cab, but I realized I am more drawn to the tighter sound of 10" drivers. I would say Markbass described the sound of the TRV151P...

Terribly sorry to read of your gear being stolen. Years ago I had my bass, amp, and cabinet stolen. I will never forget how stunned and angry I was when I discovered it was gone!

Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat. Wish I still had the one I sold.

After auditioning the CMD102P with the TRV102P, NY151RJ, TRV151P, and STD104HR extension cabs, I ended up ordering the TRV151P (the NY151RJ does not allow the CMD102P to stack properly). I prefer the added bottom of the 1x15 cab over a second 2x10 - just personal preference - they all sounded...

Update - I contacted Markbass to ask their opinions on how the various MB extension cabs work with the CMD 102P combo. Here is what they stated: "Thanks for writing and for choosing Markbass. Really you can pair the CMD 102P combo with pretty much any 8 ohm Markbass cabinet, and it works...

Good point! I wish my dealer had more of the MB cabs in stock so I could hear the various extension cab combinations with the CMD 102P.

Thanks for the replies. That is exactly the type of feedback I am looking for. Has anyone tried the Standard 151HR or Traveler 151P with the CMD 102P combo? I'm wondering how those combinations work. My local store does not stock many of the MB cabs for me to audition. I have...

What is the best Markbass extension cab for CMD 102P Combo? I like the light weight and sound of the combo but am concerned it seems to lack a bit of bottom end. On their website Markbass states the CMD 102P "stacks with any 8 ohm Traveler or Standard cab." I've read some say you should...

I'm resurrecting this thread because I am still looking at the same options! Today I played the Markbass CMD 102P and CMD 151P Berlin combos. I found the 102P a bit lacking in the lows, but liked the mid definition. I could dial in low-end response with the EQ but fear that may be asking too...
