    TC Electronic Plethora x1 - Bass demo

    I know I’m reviving a very old thread, but I would appreciate your feedback, and from anyone else on the forum. First, that is some inspiring bass playing on the demo. 👍 Re: the pedal… General question- is it still on your board? Have you found any issues with it? Any cool new discoveries? A...

    Mark Bass CMB 101 Black Line

    What did you find lacking with the factory speaker, and what was improved with the Eminence speaker? As you say you’re using this for your bridge pickup in a stereo rig, can I assume that you’re not using this cab to produce the fundamental low frequencies, but rather it is focused on the mids...

    Curious what amp and cab you’re running? Type of music?

    Hartke HD112/ Markbass 250 Blackline

    Some years ago I demoed a used HD112. That cab seem to complain in 4 ohm mode being driven by my Ampeg PF 350. Which is 350 W at four ohms, not 250. So not apples to apples. Maybe that cab had a hard life before I bought it. I decided to return that cab. Fast forward to now. I found another...

    2 112 Cabs vs 1 410 Cab

    Cool stack! What did adding the 112 bring to the sound? Was it noticeably louder? Did it change the overall tone? Deeper, or added mids, etc.? I assume it’s louder standing in front of it, with the 112 a lot closer to your ears. Wondering about added volume in the back of the room or on a...

    MarkBass- VPF vs new 3 position knob

    Thanks for your reply! Do you notice any difference in the bass EQ? I read that the bass EQ frequency sits a little higher on the new units- it was 40Hz, now 68Hz. If it’s low frequency shelving I’d be ok with that but the website says “center frequency”, so I’m thinking it’s not. I did get...

    MarkBass- VPF vs new 3 position knob

    About to drop the hammer on my first Markbass head! Does the new switchable pre-filter sound the same as the VPF knob, I’m assuming it would be the VPF at max? Or did they re-shape the tone? I had a chance to play through the older style with the VPF knob. It is the best sounding pre-shaped...

    Peavey megabass head with 1820 cabinet

    I can believe the 1820 lacked high end clarity. Bass cabinets were only beginning to add high frequency drivers at that time, that I know of, and it was only the high end stuff like trace Elliott and SWR that had them. The Peavy 1516 was a very cool cab, that was not as loud but had a brighter...

    NBD: headless, short scale and passive - Hils NEXT HNB3

    Looks great!! What has been your main base prior to acquiring this one? Have you played the Hils through your amp yet, if so, how do you like the pick up? (Like other posters, I’m also curious about the neck width at the nut…) Thanks for sharing your new axe!

    GK Neo 112 with 115?

    Cool rig for sure! Big Hartke fan myself. Did the HD112 complement and keep up with your 15” cab well? Do you think it would work well with an HD 115? Have you used the HD 112 by itself in any settings? Just wondered your impressions of it. (I tried one a few years back, thought it was a bit...

    Mark Bass CMB 101 Black Line

    I finally pulled the trigger on the CMB 101 a few days ago. My impressions of the tone: I agree with Laurent’s posts in this thread that it leans toward being boomy. It is also surprisingly bright. I would have thought it had a tweeter in it! The tone controls are centered at useful frequencies...

    MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz Output Question

    Old thread, but in case this helps anyone… The switch is what Dunlop refers to as SW-1 (but it looks more like a 4 to me as well.) It adjusts the frequency for the midrange control. Right is something like 430 Hz and to the left is something like 830Hz. As far as being loud, at least one YT...

    Mark Bass CMB 101 Black Line

    Reviving this, but do you recall what sounded better about the 112 version? That was also the Blackline I assume. Was it better balanced with more upper mid and high-end presence? Or was it something else? Thanks.
